Please remove this idiotic video. Most of your scoring information is completely wrong and you're doing a disservice. If you're going to do an "informative" video, get your damn facts straight before posting it for the world to see.

In case you haven't noticed 15 is the total of all the pin values. each ball is there fore REALLY scored as actual pins knocked down with that particular ball. It just so happens all pins down on first ball is called strike and maked with an "X". Knock all pins down with 2 ball that's a spare marked "/". If a 3rd ball is necessary it is still an "open" fram but you get the opportunity to pick up the remaining pins for a max score of 15 if 3 balls are thrown. Hope these explenations help.

The only thing I can give this guy credit for is knowing 5-pin bowling exists and that you get 3 balls per frame. He's also right on with the size of the pins and the fact there is rubber around theh belly. As far as actualy scoring goes this guy has NO CLUE what he's talking about. A strike counts 15 plus next 2 balls, spare is also 15 plus next next ball, thrid ball is not necessarily worth 5 it all depends which pins you actually knock down with ball #3. Values from L to R 2-3-5-3-2
