The sideline card

Three numbers to notice

  1. Ten pins, up to two balls a frame, ten frames a game.
  2. A spare scores 10 plus your next ball; a strike scores 10 plus your next two.
  3. The most a game can score is 300: twelve strikes in a row.

On the way home, ask: “Which frame would you bowl again, and why?”

Ask because you are curious, and let any answer stand. Print this page for a half-page card.
