What do you score for a strike in ten pin bowling?
A perfect 300 comes from earning 30 pins in each of the 10 frames, and the only way that is possible is roll a strike in each of the first 9 frame. In order to earn 30 pins in the 10th frame, a strike must be thrown on the first, second and third shots of that frame, which would be the 10th, 11th and 12th consecutive strikes in the game.
