Bowling is a general term referring to a series of sports in which a player rolls or throws a ball towards a target.

Toppling all pins with the first ball is a strike and scores 10 points plus the total of the next two balls. Clearing the alley with two balls is a spare and scores 10 points plus the next roll. If a player knocks down 9 pins with the first shot, but misses with the second, the player would also score nine. When a player fails to knock down all ten pins after their second ball it is known as an open frame. A perfect game, 300 points, requires 12 consecutive strikes.
