02
Spareschlag, Spare
the act of knocking down all ten pins with two consecutive rolls in a single frame of bowling
What is a "spare"?
A spare in bowling is when a player knocks down all 10 pins with two rolls in a frame. This happens if the player does not knock down all the pins with the first roll but manages to knock the remaining pins down with the second roll. A spare earns 10 points plus the number of pins knocked down on the player's next roll. It is a solid outcome, as it helps the player build a good score, though it is not as ideal as a strike. In ten-pin bowling, a spare is marked with a "/" on the scorecard.
Example
She picked up a spare by hitting the pins left standing after her first roll.
After the first ball, there were still a few pins left, but I managed to pick up a spare.
