The Forty Frame Game - Worlds Most Unusual Bowling Tournament

Let’s Go Bowling Today - The Forty Frame Way!


     The Forty Frame Game ® is the world’s most unusual bowling tournament.  It is a whole new bowl game! Created by proprietors in 1989, it is the fastest growing bowling tournament in the nation.  More than 226,000 bowlers entered in the first 19 years and they took home more than 7.7 million dollars!

     The bowling tournament is held at three (3) locations every year, January through July: 1) Toledo, Ohio, 2) Annual USBCBA site, and  3) Annual USBCWBA site. It is one continuous game forty frames long with unique scoring opportunities (and pitfalls!) that lead to a perfect score of 1305.  And no, there has not been a perfect game bowled to date! Below is the frame by frame grid which gives a birds eye view of how the Forty Frame Game ® is played.
