Scoring
-------
The scoring in PocketBowling is the same as in regular bowling. Each game
has ten frames. The bowler has a maximum of two rolls per frame, except
for the tenth frame, where he is allowed up to three rolls. A strike is
when all ten pins are knocked down with one roll. A spare is when all ten
pins are knocked down using both rolls of the frame. A strike scores 10
plus the number of pins knocked down on the next two rolls. A spare scores
10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the next roll.
Statistics
----------
PocketBowling will keep track of your bowling statistics if the PCBO file
is installed in your Memo Pad. To start over again, just re-install
the original PCBO memo file in your Memo Pad.
