Last night I was on my last bowl at 10pin bowling and I had 141 points. I got a spare and then on the bonus roll a strike so what would my score be as the scoreboard turned off before it showed my final score! What would my score have been?

I had a google and all the calculators need to know the number of pins knocked down for every roll.

Depends how many you scored on the ball before the ball you made a spare with.

Say it was 5.

5 + 10 (for the spare) = 15 + 141 = 156
20 for the strike = 176

If it was counted 141 before the ball that made the spare and then with the strike added on top - your total would have been 171.

It was 9 before the spare

Thanks!

So you had 141 and the screen shut off, then you bowled 3 balls - a 9, a spare and then a strike?

The score would have been 180.

If it the 9 was counted on the screen inclusive of the 141 before it shut off then you would have had 171. ^^

That is hard to summarise on a hung over Saturday morning.

I hope its clear enough.
