Teams kind of broke it last time. So did too many rules. Let's strip it down.
If the ball goes between 2 pins and they're the only ones left, your score for the frame is set to 3 points (not 8). If you get a "field bowl", even if you have more rolls left (i.e. in candlepin, you have three rolls per frame), your turn is over.
If you knock down 1 pin every turn except for your first roll, your score for the game is a perfect 300 points. We ignore the first roll so you can decide whether to shoot the moon based on your first-round score. Your first roll is referred to as the Queen of Spades. Jump shots don't count against shooting the moon, so they can be a good, albeit crazy, source of extra points.
