The box in each frame holds the first roll value, and the space to the direct right holds the next score, if needed to finish the pins of that frame. The total scores of each frame are calculated and placed at the bottom of the box.

Lets look at the first frame, the number 1, it is a 9/. This means, I hit 9 pins the first bowl, and 1 pin the second bowl, to finish off to a spare. So this clearly is 10 points, but since it is a spare, the rule says, add the next score.

We see the next score is an X, meaning I knocked them all down, a strike, and this counts as 10 obviously cause there are 10 pins. And since this is the next score, it shall be the bonus to the first frame, so the final score of the first frame is 9/ = 10 + next score of X = 10 = 20 points!

Let us look at the second frame, in which I got an X, this means, add the next two scores, not frames, so that means, I will add the 3rd frame X, and the 4th frame score of 7.

These two scores equal 17 points extra to add to the second frame. So now the second frame, it should be 20 from the first frame, plus the 10 I got for the X, and the next two frames, which is 17 points, totally 47. For cases of X and spares, you will need to wait to calculate the score.

So to review the calculating of the 2nd frame:20 (from previous total) + 10 (from current or calculating frame, 2nd frame) + 17 (value of next two SCORES) = 47.

For the 3rd frame, which is an X, we add the next two scores, which happens to be 7 and /. This is a total bonus of 10 points, because 7 + the remaining 3, which makes the spare.

So to reviewing calculating the 3rd frame:47 (from previous total) + 10 (from current or calculating frame, 3rd frame) + 10 (value of next two scores, 7 and /) = 67.

Okay, let us skip ahead assuming you can do the math, if not, keep doing it till it makes sense. We shall now just to frame 9. In this case, previous points is 182, and since it is neither a strike nor spare, it is just 9 points plus previous because there are no bonus points for not finishing all the pins. So just add 9 points to 182.

The final frame, frame number 10, is just straight value also. So if there are 3 X’s, there is no bonus calculating in the 10th frame, and its just a straight 30 points. So just add the 3 lil boxes and you have the score from the 10th frame to add to the previous frame 9 score of 191. This will total 210!

Congratulations, you graduated from Van’s training and can now compose bowling scores in the real world, you are trained and are able to think, act, add, write, configure, computing, and deduce the correct score because of this tutorial. Now you can put that on your resume!

Caving is a popular recreational sport where people get kitted out with ropes, overalls and safety equipment and then enter the hidden dark depths of a cave to do the kind of exploring you dreamed about after watching Indiana Jones as a child. It’s an exciting and adrenaline filled activity that consists of negotiating a way through water rocks, tight squeezes and darker than dark tunnels. Caving was first pioneered in the late 1800s and now has become a popular sport all over the world with people getting together to spend their time exploring some magnificent and wonderful caves.

With most caving organisations when you arrive you’ll meet an instructor who will brief you about what to expect from the cave. Obviously due to their naturally formed nature, each cave is unique bringing with it different challenges and rewards for your stag party to enjoy. Some are wet caves and some are dry which will also affect what equipment you’ll need. Your instructor will also brief you on safety before kitting you out with the necessary equipment you will need for your stag weekend caving experience.

The equipment is very important when you’re caving, the clothes have to be the right pick to ensure you stay warm and dry. Your activity center will have all the equipment you need but it’s worth checking with them before you go in case they have any additional clothing requirements. Standard equipment is a helmet with a head lamp, overalls to keep you dry, boots to make sure you have suitable grip and protection against the caves environment and perhaps also ropes. Once you’re dressed and rigged out then you’re ready to take on your cave!

Expect a fair bit of darkness except for your headlight and depending on where you go you will face a number of different environments. The most common challenges a caver faces is navigating a pitch, traipsing through water, and squeezes. Wherever you go, you can bet it will be an experience like no other. This is an excellent activity for the stag group that like adventure and is ready for a real test of mental and physical strength. Caving isn’t for everyone, but if you have a group of people who get excited by a challenge and don’t mind small spaces, then this would make for an exciting and memorable stag weekend activity.
