A strike is worth 10, plus your score with the next two bowls, unless the strike is from the very last bowl.
For example, one strike does not record a score.

Two strikes in a row also do not record a score.

It is only when you have 3 consecutive strikes, a score of 30 goes into the frame of the first strike. The other strikes have not recorded a score yet.

If you happen to throw the ball into the gutter twice after a strike, the strike will be worth 10 points only.

If you happen to throw the ball into the gutter twice after two consecutive strikes, then the score is 20 for the first strike. An extra 10, making 30, points for frame with the second strike.

If you get a spare in the frame after a strike, the strike is worth 20 points.

If you do not get a spare, or strike, in the frame after a strike, the strike is worth 10 plus however many pins you were able to knock over.

As the tenth frame is a bit different, let us assume we have an open frame in the 9th, with a score of 200.

If you get a strike, it is worth 10, plus the next 2 bowls, as usual.

------------------------- -------------------
| | | | | | | | | |200| |
------------------------- -------------------
If you get a second strike, the 10 points it is worth gets added to the first strike in the 10th frame. This does not count for any points by itself.

Getting the third strike, once again, adds the 10 points to the first strike in the 10th frame. A maximum of 30 points can be scored per frame.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
------------------------- -------------------
| | | | | | | | | | 9-| XX|X|
------------------------- -------------------

------------------------- -------------------
If you get a spare after the first strike, the 10th frame is worth 20 points in total.

------------------------- -------------------

------------------------- -------------------
If you get an open frame after the first strike, the 10th frame is worth 10 points plus how many pins you knocked down.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

RE:
In bowling, how many points does a strike count for?
2015-08-10 12:58:25 · answer #3 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
spares count for 10 plus ur next ball rolled, strikes count for 10 plus ur next 2 balls u roll. hence why u can get 30 in one frame when u bowl 3 straight strikes...10 frames all strikes 30 pins per frame is a 300, a perfect game.

10 plus the next 2 balls and if they are strikes that could be 30 in one frame and if you throw all strikes in one game you will have a 300 game
