Frame Meaning in Bowling

A frame is one of the ten scoring units that make up a full game of bowling. Each frame allows a player up to two attempts to knock down all ten pins. The tenth frame is unique because it offers a third bonus throw for strikes or spares. Beginners sometimes lose track of the score because each frame builds on the previous one. For example, she entered the fifth frame with a high score after a series of strikes. A frame is a single chapter of the game used to track progress and points.
