How to fill it in

Each frame has two small boxes for the balls and a large box for the running total. Write X for a strike, / for a spare and - for a miss. The tenth frame has a third box for the fill ball after a strike or spare.

In a handicap league, write each bowler's handicap next to the total and add the two in the last column. The handicap calculator works out the handicap from the league's formula.
