Abstract
A method of playing a bowling game in which players are allowed at least one ball to knock down pins in each of a plurality of frames. A handicap is determined for each player of the game. A handicap pin setup is selected for each player for each frame commensurate with the respective player's handicap. Each player is required to deliver at least one ball in each frame. The number of pins knocked down by each player in each frame is counted to determine a score for each player for each frame. Each player's frame score is recorded as determined by the counting, and each player's frame scores are added to determine the player's total score for the game. The players' game scores are compared to determine the winner of the game.
