DEFINITION:
1Frame: A frame is 1/10 of the game. A game of bowling has ten frames and there are ten frames on a score card. The bowler bowls twice in one frame.
2Strike: A strike is scored when the bowler knocks down all ten pins in the first throw. When scoring a strike, points from the next two balls are doubled.
3Spare: A Spare is scored when the bowler knocks down all ten pins within in that frame. Usually this is done by knocking all the pins down in two throws or on the second throw. When scoring a spare, points for the next ball are doubled.
