Bowling score calculator
Enter each roll as you bowl it and every frame is scored the way the lanes do it: strikes, spares, the 10th frame and its bonus balls. It also shows the highest score you can still reach.

300Highest possible
Frame 1, ball 1. How many pins fell?
How to use it
- Tap the number of pins each ball knocked down. X is a strike (all ten on the first ball) and / is a spare (the rest on the second ball).
- A strike or spare shows no total until its bonus balls are in, exactly like the scoreboard at the alley.
- In the 10th frame a strike gives you two more balls and a spare gives you one, so a game can have up to 21 rolls.
- Made a mistake? Undo last roll takes back one ball at a time.
Quick reference
| What you rolled | Frame is worth |
|---|---|
| Strike (X) | 10 + your next two balls |
| Spare (/) | 10 + your next ball |
| Open frame (pins left standing) | Just the pins you knocked down |
| 12 strikes in a row | 300, a perfect game |
| 9 and a spare in every frame, with a 9 on the bonus ball | 190 |
