Tenpin
bowling rules:
Each bowling game has 10 frames. You can throw the ball two times in
each frame.
Each knocked over pin is one point. A strike is when all 10 pins are
knocked down with the first ball. After a strike you may throw the ball
two more times instead of one. A spare is when you knock down all 10
pins
in two throws. After a spare you may throw the ball one more time in a
frame.
