3rd Ball 10th Frame
The following describes the events necessary for the third ball tenth frame scoring sequence.
This cycle occurs at the end of the tenth frame for a bowler that received a “bonus” ball after a spare or
a double. If the bowler does not strike on the “bonus” ball, the pinspotter will cycle a second time so
the next bowler is not required to push the Reset button to get a full rack, rst ball.
NOTE: The scorer console must be turned on, a bowler’s name entered, and the sequencing
arrows on a bowler’s name.
1. The bowler delivers the rst ball. The ball breaks the ball detect’s light path and sends a signal
to the Distribution Board.
2. The scoring process starts.
3. The pinsetter is triggered by the ball or if the pinsetter does not trigger on its own, the a reset
signal is sent from the Distribution Board to trigger the machine.
NOTE: If the pinsetter does not trigger on its own, the Distribution Board will automatically
take a picture and trigger the machine after a time delay that is calculated based on the fast ball/
slow ball settings as set on the scorer settings screen and continues from step 6.
4. The sweep falls downward causing the sweep switch to open - sending signal to the Distribution
Board.
5. After the time delay entered on the pinsettings screen at the control desk, the camera takes a
picture and sends it to the Distribution Board.
6. The picture is analyzed and it is determined a strike has not occurred.
7. The score is displayed.
8. The sweep switch closes to reset scoring cycle.
9. The Distribution Board sends a reset signal to the machine causing it to cycle a second time.
