A perfect game is the highest score possible in a game of bowling, achieved past scoring a strike in every frame.^[i] In bowling games that use 10 pins, such as ten-pin bowling, candlepin bowling, and duckpin bowling, the highest possible score is 300, achieved by bowling 12 strikes in a row in a traditional single game: one strike in each of the first nine frames, and iii more in the 10th frame.

In five-pivot bowling, the highest possible score is 450, every bit a strike is worth 15 pins. It is rare to bowl or witness one. The Canadian Five Pin Bowlers Association approves from 10 to 40 perfect games per year.

300 game [edit]

Certification process [edit]

Before a 300 game is recognized by the certifying trunk of the league or tournament, a serial of tests are conducted by the local or regional bowling association. First, the bowler and league (or tournament) must be in good continuing with the organization. In earlier years, the bowling brawl(south) used in the scoring was taken for testing (hardness, weighting, and other aspects that would otherwise break the organization's regulations). Also, the lanes used in the scoring were shut down after the concluding game of the day was completed. The official and then used a tape reader to test the oil status, to make certain information technology met the organization's regulations. The data was then sent to the certifying body, and the score received a certification decision a few days to a few weeks later on.

There are cases where the tests do not encounter regulation, and therefore the score is not recognized past the organization. However, the score still counts towards the league or tournament statistics. Modern recognition is much easier; lanes are no longer shut down, assurance are no longer taken and inspected. The lanes are inspected once a year, and the brawl'due south brand and serial number (USBC only requires that the ball take an engraved series number, they exercise not need the actual number) are taken by a league/tournament official and reported to the certifying organization.

Recognition [edit]

In league or tournament play, a certified 300 game is usually commemorated with a ring. Subsequent league 300s are denoted by setting "chips" or precious stones into the band, so that skilled bowlers do not have to wear several rings. The Us Bowling Congress (USBC) offers a "multiple" 300 ring for an additional fee that features the number of canonical 300 games for that bowler surrounded by stones. The ring can be returned to have the number changed as the bowler rolls additional perfect games.

In casual or "open" play, a 300 game is not recognized officially past any certifying, professional, or other organization, but may be honored by other means within the bowling center, such every bit a plaque, bays, "wall of fame" photo, or other prize.

Televised 300 games [edit]

A handful of 300 games have been broadcast on live Telly. Grazio Castellano of Brooklyn, New York was the outset to scroll a 300 game on live television. This occurred on Oct 4, 1953, during an Eastern All-Star league session in Newark, New Jersey.^[2] (Castellano is a member of the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame.) A more than contempo example came in October 2006, when England's Paul Moor became the first human being to register a score of 300 in the Weber Loving cup (the start 300 on live British tv), the almanac Europe versus America team challenge upshot. Australian Jason Belmonte became the beginning bowler to ever roll a 300 game in the televised finals of the World Tenpin Masters, defeating Moor in the 2007 event. Tommy Jones had shot a perfect game in each Weber Cup from 2007 to 2009. Shota Kawazoe has rolled back-to-back 300 games on live Japanese tv.^[3]

A bowler that bowls a perfect game on a televised PBA Tour effect receives a $ten,000 bonus, although the PBA and/or its sponsors accept occasionally offered as much equally a $1 million bonus for a player that bowls a 300 game in selected televised events.

Chris Via rolled 2 300 games, making him the 3rd member of this exclusive club. (Via is the only histrion of the 3 to curlicue both of his 300 games in the aforementioned season.) Mika Koivuniemi narrowly missed (Too as becoming the showtime to practice then) joining this exclusive gild. Having rolled the PBA's 17th televised perfect game in 2003, Mika shot a 299 game in the semifinals of the 2011 PBA Tournament of Champions.^[seven] Belmonte'southward 2022 PBA Tour Finals title match one 300 game fabricated him the fourth (21st in 2012 and 34th in 2022).

2 other players take shot multiple 300 games on U.Due south. idiot box, though 1 or both games were not rolled in an official PBA championship event. In 2009, Wes Malott rolled two 300 games in an ESPN broadcast of the King of Bowling series. Though this issue featured PBA players, it was non an official PBA Bout issue.^[eight] Ryan Shafer, who earlier in his career rolled the PBA'south 19th televised 300 in a PBA Tour event, threw his 2d televised 300 game in a singles match at the Geico PBA Team Shootout, a made-for-TV upshot broadcast on ESPN, July ii, 2011.^[ix] PBA Hall of Famer Chris Barnes, who rolled the PBA's 22nd televised 300 game, has also rolled alive perfect games on European television set (2014 QubicaAMF Globe Cup) and Japanese goggle box (2015 PBA-DHC Nippon Invitational).^[10]

Dorsum-to-dorsum [edit]

75-year-sometime Volition June, grandfather of Cato June, became the oldest player to basin consecutive perfect games on August 31, 2010.^[xix]

Perfect series [edit]

A 900 serial, a three-game set with scores calculation upward to 900, is a more hard feat to achieve than bowling a single perfect game because it requires more consistency and careful attention to the subtle changes in the lane conditions from game to game.^[20] The first six 900 series reported, starting with PBA Hall of Famer Glenn Allison's in 1982, were all rejected by the USBC for various reasons – mostly due to nonconforming lane atmospheric condition.^[21] Finally, in 1997, an officially certified 900 series was bowled by collegiate bowler Jeremey Sonnenfeld, rolled at Lord's day Valley Lanes in Lincoln, Nebraska. Information technology was the first 900 series approved past the USBC. Twelve perfect series were bowled in the 10-yr menses 1997–2008, and six were bowled in the 2 years 2009–2010. As of June 25, 2022, the USBC lists a total of 40 officially certified 900 series by 39 different bowlers,^[22] with Robert Mushtare the but person to roll more than 1.

• In the episode "Bowling" of Malcolm in the Eye, Hal well-nigh bowls a perfect game, simply Malcolm accidentally gets caught in the pinsetter and is dropped onto the pins on the 12th whorl. Although the calculator claims that Hal bowled a perfect game (since Malcolm did knock all the pins over), the game is dismissed past the gathered crowd.
• In an episode of Loma Street Dejection, the whorl call sergeant had bowled a 300 game. Afterward the bowling alley burned down, the sergeant was an arson suspect because his 300 was not league certified.

Howard is one strike away from a perfect game, only to take the lights go out due to a power overload. He has a day to think well-nigh it before he tries for the final strike. They make bets on him bowling a perfect game, and when he returns he gets two practice frames before making his final attempt. Both are gutter balls, so Andy gets the guys to relinquish the bets. With the pressure relieved, Howard makes the terminal strike for a perfect game.
• In a similar 2001 episode of the series According to Jim, Jim (James Belushi) bowls the first xi strikes of a game when the power goes out at the bowling center. It is the day before Thanksgiving, and the proprietor tells Jim he cannot get credit for a 300 game (nor a photo on the eye's "wall of fame") if he leaves and returns. Jim spends the night, and his married woman, Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith), surprises him past bringing Thanksgiving dinner to the bowling middle while he waits for the power to return. Cheryl and Jim's family light the lane by placing candles in the gutters, and Jim rolls the final strike to complete the 300 game.
