You have finally joined a Monday night bowling league, now how do you calculate what your bowling average is? Read on to find out how it is done.
Instructions
Bowling
1. Start bowling in a league. You are a new bowler with a team and you do not have an average yet but it is relatively easy to figure your bowling average. You start by knowing that each game that you bowl has the potential to earn three hundred points. As you bowl each frame you knock down at the maximum 10 pins per frame. You add up how many pins you have knocked down during the entire game.
2. Continue bowling after you have completed the first game. Write down your score from the first game. You will have to bowl at least three games the first evening to get a starting average
3. Finish bowling your first three games. Assume that you bowled a 150 for the first game, a 120 for the second game and a 180 for the third game. You will use your calculator to add up the three scores. You have a grand total of 450 points for the first three games.
4. Divide: As stated above you have bowled a total of 450 points, these are the total of the pins that you knocked down while you were bowling. You will then take the total number of games that you bowled, which in this case is three games, and do some basic math. Divide 450 by three which gives you an average of 150 points per game.
5. Increase or decrease your average as you continue to bowl each week. he following week when you go back for your league play, assume that you have a total of 400 pins for the three games that you have bowled that evening. You will then add the 400 pins for the current night together with the 450 pins from the previous week to reach a grand total of 850 pins. You have now bowled a total of six games, three from the first night and three from the current night. You will divide the 850 pins by six for an average of 142. The process continues throughout your league play, adding the total number of pins you have scored and dividing them by the total number of games you have played.
