Abstract

A method of playing a bowling game in which players are allowed a preselected plurality of balls to knock down as many pins as possible in each of a plurality of pin setups. Each player is required to deliver at least one of the preselected plurality of balls and continuing to deliver balls until all the pins in each full pin setup are knocked down. The number of balls delivered by each player and the number of pins knocked down in the respective pin setup are counted, to determine a score for each player for each pin setup. Each player's setup score is recorded as determined by that counting. Each player's setup scores are added to determine that player's total score for the game. The players' game scores are compared to determine the winner of the game.
