How to fill in a bowling score sheet

Write the first ball's pin count in the left box of a frame. Write the second ball in the right box. Mark a strike with X and a spare with /. Mark a miss with a short line. Then add the frame total in the big space below once any bonus rolls are known.

A strike frame waits for your next two balls. A spare frame waits for your next ball. In the 10th frame, use the third box only if you strike or spare. These marks match the USBC guide to keeping score.

Circle around the countSplit left after the first ballAround the first ball count

USBC Rule 2h says a split is often shown with a circle, but any symbol may be used. A split is when the head pin is down and the pins left standing have a gap between them, such as the 7 and 10 pins.
