<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Counting marks is a old way of estimating who was ahead, at anytime during a game without having to tally up the score. It was used mainly before the advent of automatic scoring systems.<br /><br />
It's based on a simple system of adding up the number of strikes and spares during a game.<br /><br /><br />
Here's how it was done.<br /><br />
A strike is one mark, a double is two marks, a turkey is three.<br /><br />
A spare is one mark.<br /><br />
There is also a "take off a mark." where you remove or not add a mark because a bowler scored five or less on a spare or double.<br /><br />
There is also "Handicap Marks". Typically it is 1 mark for every 10 pins in the difference of team handicap.<br /> <br />
Example, if your team is getting spotted 34 pins, you would get 3 handicap marks.<br /><br />
If there is a absent bowler, they would receive marks also. Based on the "The Absent Bowler's Marks Table"<br /><br /><br />
