A strike scores 10 points plus the total pins knocked down on your next two balls. For example, if you strike and then bowl 7 and 2 on your next frame, that strike frame scores 10 + 7 + 2 = 19.

A spare scores 10 points plus the pins knocked down on your very next ball only (not the next two). If you spare and then knock down 6 pins on the first ball of the next frame, that spare frame scores 10 + 6 = 16.

The 10th frame is the only frame where you can throw up to 3 balls. If you strike on the first ball, you get 2 more bonus balls. If you spare on your first two balls, you get 1 more bonus ball. If neither, the frame ends after 2 balls like normal.

A perfect game is 300 points — 12 strikes in a row (a strike in every one of the 10 frames, plus the 2 bonus balls you get for striking in the 10th frame, both of which are also strikes).

An open frame is any frame where you don't knock down all 10 pins across your two balls (no strike, no spare). It scores exactly the number of pins knocked down, with no bonus.
