HISTORY of 10 PIN 1908

British anthropologists found primitive bowling balls, bowling pins and other materials in the grave of an Egyptian boy dating to 3200 BC, which was over 5200 years ago.

The first written reference to bowling dates to 1366, when King Edward III of England banned his troops from playing the game so that they would not be distracted from their archery practice. It is believed that they bowled with canon balls

PLAY A game of ten-pin

bowling is divided into ten rounds (called “frames”).

Bowling Rules A game consists of 10 frames Each box on the score sheet represents one frame The max # of balls rolled in each frame is 2, EXCEPT on

the 10th frame.

SCORING

Frame 1, ball 1: 10 pins (strike) Frame 2, ball 1: 3 pins Frame 2, ball 2: 6 pins

The total score from these throws is: Frame one: 10 + (3 + 6)= 19

Frame two: 3 + 6 = 9

TOTAL = 28

BOWLING A STRIKE If you get a “strike” you have knocked down all

ten pins with your FIRST ball Your first ball score 10 + the # of pins knocked

down with your next two balls bowled in the next frames

Quiz: What is the maximum score in each frame? Did you know three consecutive strikes is

called a “turkey” 4+ strikes is called a “bagger”

BOWLING A SPARE When you bowl a spare, you knock down

all 10 pins in 2 balls. Your score for this frame is 10, plus the

number of pins knocked down with the next ball you bowl in the next frame.
