The bowling score calculator allows you to calculate the total score, scored by a player in a ball-throwing game by putting some inputs. Our bowling score calculator simplifies the process of maintaining and keeping the score up to date after every ball is thrown toward the pins.
A bowling score is the number of pins knocked down by a bowler during the game. It has 10 frames and each frame has two chances to knock down all pins.
Traditionally, keeping score in bowling involved complex manual calculations, even experienced bowlers can make mistakes in this. Hence, the bowling score calculator is a handy tool that automates the process of calculating your scores in a bowling game.
So goodbye to pen and paper and let your score be tracked by this bowling tracker.
If you knocked down all the 10 pins in a single throw, then it's a Strike and stated as marked “X” in our bowling score sheet.
If you knocked down all the 10 pins in two consecutive throws, then it’s a Spare and stated as marked “ / “ in the bowling score calculator.
If you don't hit the 10 pins in two throws, then it’s an open frame in our bowling scorecard.
The rule of the 10th frame is a bit different as compared to others which are as follows,
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 5
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 3
Total Score = 5 + 3 = 8
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 4
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 3
Total Score = Frame 1 Score + Frame 2 Score
Total Score = 8 + 4 + 3 = 15
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 1
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 6
Total Score = Frame 2 Score + Frame 3 Score
Total Score = 15 + 1 + 6 = 22
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 2
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 3
Total Score = Frame 3 Score + Frame 4 Score
Total Score = 22 + 2 + 3 = 27
Strike!
The score of this frame depends on the following frame and the previous frame. Therefore, check the score of frame 6 first.
Total Score = Frame 6 Score + Frame 4 Score + Frame 5 Score
Total Score = 1 + 27 + 10 = 38
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 0
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 1
Total Score = Frame 5 Score + Frame 6 Score
Total Score = 38 + 0 + 1 = 39
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 5
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 0
Total Score = Frame 6 Score + Frame 7 Score
Total Score = 39 + 5 + 0 = 44
Strike!
The score of this frame depends on the following frame and the previous frame. Therefore, check the score of frame 9 first.
Total Score = Frame 9 Score + Frame 7 Score + Frame 8 Score
Total Score = 10 + 44 + 10 = 64
Spare!
The score of this frame also depends on the following frame and the previous frame. Therefore, check the score of the 10th frame first.
Pins hit the ground in the first round = 9
Pins hit the ground in the second round = 1
Total Score = Frame 10 Score + Frame 8 Score + Frame 9 Score
Total Score = 10 + 64 + 9 + 1 = 84
3 Strikes Again!
Total Score = Frame 9 Score + 3 Strikes Score
Total Score = 84 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 114
