: How does the scoring system work in bowling?
In: Other
In bowling, a strike counts as 10 points plus your next two balls thrown. So if you bowl a strike and a spare, that is 20 points, but if you bowl and additional 2 strikes, your first strike counts as 30 points. If you bowl a spare, the first ball you throw afterwards gets counted on your spare. If you get a spare and a 6, your spare counts as 16. In the 10th frame, you do have the opportunity to throw 3 balls, ultimately you could earn 30 points (three strikes) in the 10th frame.
