Abstract
A method of playing a bowling game in which players are allowed a preselected number of balls to knock down all pins in each of a plurality of frames. Each player is required to deliver at least one ball in each of the frames. The number of pins knocked down by each player in each frame is counted, with strikes recorded for all pins being knocked down by a first ball and spares recorded for all pins being knocked by a second ball. A player is allowed to change the pin setup after delivering the first ball and before delivering the second ball. The player's changed pin setup can be randomly selected. Thereafter, the frame scores and game scores are determined as in a conventional bowling game.
