MATCH RULES

VARIATIONS OF PLAY
RE-SKEES
Players or Teams have 1 Re-Skee per match.
If players are unhappy with their score after
a frame they may take a “Re-Skee” & roll their
3 balls again. However the score from the new frame
will count even if it is lower than the original roll.
If a player chooses to Re-Skee a frame they must wait
for their opponent to finish their frame first.
Players choosing to roll a Re-Skee must choose to do
so BEFORE the 3rd ball is rolled by their opponent.
THE BONUS FRAME
After the 6th frame the team or player that scored
the highest points in that frame is awarded an
additional 50 points.
TARGET SHOOTING
Two individual players or two teams. The objective is
to “open” & “close” scoring targets on the board &
to achieve the highest point score at the end of the
match. Each player/team takes turns & rolls 3 balls
per frame as in a normal game.
Once a player hits a number it is “open” for that
player/team to score points. Additional balls that hit
that number will be scored at the end of a turn. That
number remains “open” for that player/team to score
more points until the other player/team also hits that
number & “closes” it out.
Once everything is “closed” out by both teams the
team with the most points wins.
If one player/team is the only one with “open” numbers
remaining and are also leading in points, the game can
be called early as it is impossible for others to catch up.
