Abstract

A method of playing a bowling game in which players are allowed a number of balls to knock down all pins in each of a plurality of frames. A plurality of differing pin setups are selected in a random sequence to define the plurality of frames. The number of balls delivered by each player in each frame in order to knock down all the pins in that respective frame are counted. A score is recorded for each player in each frame, the score being inversely proportional to the number of balls delivered. Each player's frame scores are added to determine that player's total score for the game. The player's game scores are compared to determine the winner of the game.
