Bowling Rules for Beginners

Bowling consists of rolling a heavy ceramic ball down a line and trying to knock down as many pins as possible. Keep 메이저사이트 reading for the most important rules and regulations of bowling!

  1. 10 Frames in a Game
    In bowling, there are 10 frames in each game. A frame consists of each bowler taking one turn, with a maximum of two rolls. In the tenth frame, each bowler gets up to a maximum of three rolls, depending on how successful they are in the first two rolls.
  2. 2 Balls per Frame
    As we’ve already mentioned, a bowler has a maximum of two rolls per frame. If a bowler gets a strike (all pins down) on the first ball of a frame, their turn ends.

However, if it’s the tenth frame and a bowler achieves two strikes, he can get up to three balls. Nevertheless, a player can only have a maximum of two balls in each frame.

  1. The Maximum Score is 300
    The maximum score during a bowling match is 300. This score can be achieved by obtaining a maximum score of 30 points on each of the ten frames by accomplishing a strike on each of the first nine frames and three strikes within the tenth frame, and is known as the perfect game. In total, a bowler would have to get 12 strikes during a game.
  2. Release of the Ball & the Foul Line
    When bowling, the player must release the ball from behind the foul line, so it can roll over the line into the lane of play. If a bowler throws the ball over the foul line, the pins knocked over do no longer count towards the player’s score and no points are earned.

This also means that it’s forbidden for the player to cross the foul line at any time. If a bowler steps on the foul line, the roll will be taken away and the score is recorded as bowling a zero.

The bowling ball can’t come out of the gutter
If a ball gets rolled into the gutter, bounce out and knock down some pins, the pins that get knocked over won’t count towards the bowler’s score. The gutter is counted as out of bounds and once it rolls out, it can’t come back in. The roll does no longer count.

Wait for the Bowler on your right
If two people are bowling at the same time, the bowler to the right bowls first. This rule applies if two bowlers walk up to the lane together and are about to bowl at the same time. This isn’t an official rule, but it’s important to keep in mind, as other players could get distracted while playing at the same time.

Use proper bowling shoes
To avoid accidents, using the right bowling shoes is mandatory. Also, normal shoes can ruin the wooden lanes, so make sure to rent bowling shoes or bring your own.
