A bowling score is a numerical representation of a player's performance in a game of bowling. Each game consists of ten frames, and players aim to knock down as many pins as possible with two rolls per frame. The maximum score in a game is 300, achieved by rolling a strike in every frame. Scoring in bowling involves adding points based on the number of pins knocked down. A strike, where all ten pins are knocked down on the first roll, earns 10 points plus the total of the next two rolls. A spare, where all pins are knocked down in two rolls, earns 10 points plus the number of pins knocked down in the next roll.
