No, it is not possible to achieve a clean game in bowling where no pins are left standing after each frame.
A "clean game" in bowling is simply a game that has no opens. That means that every frame, the two shots equal 10 pins.A mark is either a strike (10 pins in one shot) or a spare (ten pins in two shots). So a clean game would also be a game in which a bowler marks every game.Note: Some bowlers do not consider it an "open" (frame does not equal 10 pins) if the first shot resulted in a "split."
If you did it in one try it's a strike. If you did it in two it's a spare.
Each game of Bowling is made up of 10 frames, or sections. Each frame entitles the bowler up to two attempts to knock down all 10 pins. If the bowler knocks down all 10 in the first attempt, that is called a "strike" and his/her turn is over. If the bowler knocks down all the pins on their second attempt, the score is a spare and the frame is over. If the bowler scores a strike in the tenth frame, they get two "fill shots" or bonus balls. If the bowler scores a spare in the tenth frame, they get one fill shot.
If any pins remain standing after the second roll in a game of bowling, the player will then attempt to knock down the remaining pins with a third roll, if applicable. In standard ten-pin bowling, this situation usually occurs in the case of a split or a spare attempt. The score for that frame will be calculated based on the total number of pins knocked down across the three rolls, and the bonus for a spare will apply if all pins are knocked down within the two rolls. If no pins are left standing after the second roll, the frame is complete, and the player moves on to the next frame.
The answer depends on what the previous fame was.Prior frame an open? None.Prior frame a strike? Unknown until the next ball thrown.Prior frame a spare? 20 pins is added.
300 points are the maximum a bowler can score in a single game. This can only be achieved by getting nothing but strikes.My response:The highest score a bowler can get for any one frame is 30. If a person throws a strike, it is worth 10 pins, plus the next two shots. If he throws three strikes in a row, the frame of the first strike is worth 10 pins, plus 10 pins for the next strike, plus 10 pins for the third strike.
If you get strikes in all of the frames in a game, it is called a perfect 300 score
Answer Two: There is such a thing as an 8 pin no tap tournament, usually for younger bowlers. In that case, an 8 count would also count as a strike. Answer One: In the game of 9-pin no-tap, 9 or 10 pins down on the first ball is a strike, and 8 pins down is only scored as an 8 count and you must throw at the two remaining pins for the second ball in that frame. In the game of 8-pin no-tap, 8, 9 or 10 pins down on first ball is scored as a strike, and you will get a full rack of pins for the next frame instead of having to attempt a spare.
It goes along with strike or spare scoring. Let's set up a little scenario.Alice and Bill are playing a game of bowling, and it is their first frame.Alice bowls a strike. Her score for the first frame is 10 pins PLUS the pins felled by her next two shots. Those shots are considered "bonus" shots because they count twice: once in the frame they're bowled in, and again in Frame One.Bill bowls a spare. His score for the first frame is 10 pins plus the pins felled by his next shot. Once again, that next shot counts twice - once in Frame One, once in Frame Two.There is a reason why Scorekeeper was an exalted position in a bowling league in the days of paper scorecards.
The minimum number of pins you would need to knock down to get a 260 would be 97: nine strikes in a row, followed by a 6-1 in the tenth frame. Obviously, it's not the number of total pins that matter, but the number of strikes in a row; it's possible to knock down the same 97 pins and yet only score a 97 game.
