HOW TO PLAY Bowling is an individual sport. One can play on his/her own or against other competitors. Play begins with a person rolling, or “bowling,” the ball down a lane. The game consists of ten frames. The bowler has two chances to knock down the pins in each frame. When keeping score, bonus points are awarded: the next 2 balls (for a strike) or 1 ball (for a spare). If the bowler knocks down all pins in the 10th frame with one roll (strike), the bowler gets 2 more rolls. If the bowler knocks down all pins in the 10th frame with two rolls (spare), the bowler gets 1 more roll. A perfect game is 12 strikes with a maximum score of 300 points. 6/9/20154

BOWLING SAFETY In a regulation game of bowling, bowlers must wear proper bowling shoes and bowling attire (comfortable movable clothes). A bowler needs to be aware of his/her surroundings, making sure he/she is the only one in the bowling lane. Bowlers must choose a ball of proper weight. It should be something the bowler can control when rolling and should fit his/her fingers comfortably. Bowlers must stay behind the foul line when rolling the ball. Bowlers should keep hands clear of the return ball mechanism until all balls have come to a complete stop. 6/9/20155
