Bowling Overview

Supper: Provided for all players at Eastview Bowl
Networking Lounge: Eastview Bowl
Please have your team show up at 4:30 at Eastview Bowling. They will go directly to the
counter to get their shoes picked out, and let them know your name and what Company you
are bowling for. Then, make your way to your assigned Lane, possibly grab a cocktail and get
ready to bowl!
We will be playing five pin bowling. Each team will have 3 games, regardless of their score. At
the end of the lane there are five pins arranged in a V. The pins in five-pin bowling are worth
different scoring point values, depending on their location in the V-formation:
In each of the 10 frames, each player gets three attempts to knock all pins over. Knocking all
five pins down with the first ball is a strike and worth 15 points, also the score achieved by the
player’s first two balls of the next frame or frames are added to his or her score for the strike.
They are also, of course, counted in their own frames, so in effect they count double. A player
who takes two balls to knock all the pins down gets a spare, which means the first ball of the
next frame counts double. When a bowler bowls two strikes in succession, within a game, the
bowler has scored a “double”. The count in the frame where the first strike was bowled is left
blank until the bowler makes his or her first delivery of the next frame. When a double has
been bowled, the count for the first strike is 30 points plus the value of the pins bowled down
with the first ball of the frame following the second strike. When a bowler bowls three strikes
in succession, within a game, the bowler has scored a “triple” (also called a “turkey”). In
scoring three successive strikes, the bowler is credited with 45 points in the frame where the
first strike was bowled. If either of these happen in the last frame, the player gets to take one
or two shots at a re-racked set of pins immediately.
Sound confusing? Don’t you worry, we will have automated scoring so you just need to show
up at 4:30, throw some balls and let the automated machine do the scoring for you!

receive 20 points. Second highest score receives 19 points and so on.
