Dealer will deal two cards to each player representing two chances/shots in each frame/round of bowling game. He/she will make call for shots so all the players can play their cards, when the dealer will call "Shot 1" all the players will Expose there one card and at the call "Shot 2" all the player will Expose their second card. The points will be calculated by adding points mentioned on both the cards.
Points mentioned on cards are representation of Number of Pin fallen due to shot.
Rules for Calculating Score:
1. Total points for the frame/round will be calculated by adding points mentioned on both the cards.
2. If the Total Points on both the Cards are exceeding 10, then Card with the higher number will be considered for scoring purpose. Example: A Player get Cards Marked/Points as "7" and "5", He will Score 7 for that frame/round.
Note: Player need to use Card with higher number/points on first Call ie. "Shot 1" as total of both the cards cannot be more than 10, if a Player use Card marked/points as "5" on "Shot 1" he cannot hit "7" pins in the second shot thus second card will score "0" and he will get only 5 points for that frame.
3. If players have Card Marked as "Strike" and "X" he will use it at call for "Shot 1" and the other card
will not be considered for that frame/round and a mark of "X" would be marked in the small box of
Score Sheet. "Strike" is considered as all 10 pins fallen on the first shot and therefore as a bonus, points
of next 2 cards of the next round, considered as next two consecutive shots will be added to points of
this round. Example: In round "1" Player got two cards Marked as "Strike, X" and "6" he will use "Strike,
X" card on the Call of "Shot 1" and will not participate on call of "Shot 2" and when cards for round "2" is
given to all the Players he got cards marked as "4" and "2" his score for round "1" will be 10+4+2=16 and for round "2" will be 4+2=6.
Note: All the players has to play 10 frame/round so in case a Player gets both the cards marked as "Strike" and "X" only one card will be used and similarly in case where player get one card marked as "Strike" and "X" and the other as "Spare" and "/" the second card will not be considered.
4. If Player have one card Marked as "Spare" and "/" he will use it at call for "Shot 2" and will be marked "/" in the small box on score sheet. It will be considered as all 10 pins fallen on the second shot hence player will get 10 points for that round plus points of next shot will be added to it which means the card of the highest value in next round will be added Example: In round "1" Player got two card Marked as "Spare, /" and "6" he will use "6"card on the Call of "Shot 1" and "Spare, /" on call of "Shot 2" and in cards for round "2" if the Player gets cards marked as "4" and "2" his score for round "1" will be 10+4=14 and for round "2" will be 4+2=6.
5. If a Player gets Card marked as "Split" he has to use that Card on the call of "Shot 1" if used on call of "Shout 2" it will be treated as "Foul" and will be Scoring "0" points for that card, as split in bowling game is a situation after the first shot only.
6. If the Total of both the cards are 10 it will be treated as "Spare" and advantage of the same will be given to the player.
