Hello Bowlers! Let's get you started with a quick guide on scoring in the game.   Scoring Basics In Bowling Crew, scoring is straightforward and follows traditional bowling rules. The only difference is that a real game of bowling consists of 10 frames, while a Bowling Crew game consists of 3 frames.   Scoring in Each Frame One point is scored for each pin that is knocked down. However, when all ten pins are knocked down, the scoring works as follows: Strike (X): Knock down all ten pins in one roll. Score 10 plus points from the next two rolls. Spare (/): Knock down all ten pins in two rolls. Score 10 plus points from the next roll. Open Frame: Score the total pins knocked down if not all pins are down.     Remember that the third frame allows up to three rolls. Get an extra roll for a strike or spare. Every serious player aspires to bowl what is called the Perfect Game. The maximum score for a single frame is 30, so rolling a Perfect Game in Bowling Crew means getting 90 points. For more detailed info, check the full scoring guide. Keep bowling and aim for those strikes! 🎳

There are three types of balls: Power balls are used to shoot as many pins as possible. Bounce balls are the best option for splits. Precise balls are best to hit a small group of pins. You can bowl a strike with both Power and Bounce balls. In the beginning of every game balls are placed in the same order as in your Arsenal. The first three balls are available for the throw, the rest are in the line. Thrown ball is placed in the end of the line. You need to work out a strategy to succeed depending on how many balls you have. Advice #3. The key is in the pocket. The key to consistent strikes is to angle the ball into the “pocket”. For a right-handed bowler, the pocket is between the one-pin and three-pin. For a lefty, it’s between the one-pin and two-pin. Rolling a ball directly to the first pin will lead to a split in most cases. Sad but true. It could actually happen 😞 So how to hit a split? First of all, you need a bounce ball. Any one will do. Upgrade your balls, it will make you game more comfortable. There are so many variations of split in the game. To take down the 7-10 split, which is considered to be the hardest one, roll the ball directly at a tangent to the first pin so the pin would bounce and hit the other pin.
