A precise tool.
What is the Bowling Score Calculator & How does it work?
Bowling is a sport where players roll a ball down a long lane to knock down pins arranged in a triangle at the end of the lane. A game consists of ten frames, with each frame having two rolls unless a strike or spare is achieved.
A strike occurs when all ten pins are knocked down on the first roll. It scores 10 points plus the sum of the next two rolls in subsequent frames.
A spare happens when all ten pins are knocked down using two rolls within a frame. It scores 10 points plus the number of pins knocked down on the first roll of the next frame.
text{Frame Score} = begin{cases} 10 + text{Next Two Rolls} & text{if Strike} \ 10 + text{First Roll of Next Frame} & text{if Spare} \ text{Sum of Two Rolls} & text{otherwise} end{cases}
