Balls, also called "cheeses" are rolled from one end of an alley in an effort to knock down nine pins at the other end.
Each turn starts with all the skittles standing and consists of three balls being rolled down the alley (one at a time).
If all the pins are knocked down, then they are reset. So the maximum score in one turn is 27. Fallen skittles are removed between throws.
A scoring sheet is shown below. Ten ends with a possible 27 points per end would give a maximum score of 270
