I do agree, however, with the suggestion of a button for clearing the players’ frames (probably aptly labelled “New Game,” “Next Game,” or something of the sort). It is a great score sheet for bowling and, in my particular case, Bowling Dice ( ). Therefore, it is logical to use this character for input and output of a miss or gutter ball. Generally, on a display in a bowling alley, a gutter ball or “rehitting pins” is displayed with a hyphen. Since you mentioned targeting the display generally used in bowling alleys (“So, I decided to get all the input as closed as the bowling score panel usually displayed.”), my recommendation would be replace “0” with “-” (hyphen). It looks to work flawlessly from what I can see.

Good luck and remember that bowling is a verb and doesnt need the playing behind it as in I went bowling, not I went to play bowling. If i could get the equation ( algorithm?, formula?) on a tshirt it would kill the nerds in my engineering classes. this will ease a curve into your ball path and naturally drive the ball diagonally thru the pins instead of chopping them down negating pin action. when you drop your ball it slows it down, try to sliiiide it smoothly and reach out as if to shake hands with the headpin. if youre right handed aim for the left side of the three pin. It is just awesome that you are this into it. i take it english is your second language and it pains me to think that youre this advanced and I am arguing with someone that the equation is linear…Īnd we’re talking about bowling for God’s sake. I was wondering if there is an actual equation to describe scoring bowling. You can unprotect this spreadsheet by using the unprotect menu. There is no password protection in this spreadsheet.

And there is a maximum score also to guide you on finding maximum points that can be achieved by the end of the game. The rest are numbers from 0 - 9, depends on how many pin falled. You have to put 'x' or 'X' for strike, and '/' for spare. This spreadsheet will allow up until 8 players fill the score sheet.

Probably there is still some bugs, you can tell me if you found one. And it took more than one day to finished all number and text formula, and it took another day to make sure that there is no broken rule. So, I decided to get all the input as closed as the bowling score panel usually displayed. I put numbers to be processed by the excel formula. I played bowling just after I finished my bowling score sheet template, which I created because I couldn't find any representative bowling score sheet written in excel.Īt the beginning, I thought it would take less than an hour to create the template. I scored 170, and that is the best score I have ever had till now. Last night, I spent the day by playing bowling.
