Abstract

A bowling automatic scoring system so far did not have means for displaying an absent bowler, did not have means for calculating absent bowler's score, did not have means for comparing absent bowler's score, nor did not have means for judgment and display of absent bowler's win and loss, for a bowling automatic scoring system so far was to calculate score based on results of bowling identifying the pins fallen by a ball on each lane. Therefore it was impossible to bowl general match play or “frame by frame” match game alone when a bowler could not find other bowlers, for a bowling automatic scoring system so far did not have means for providing an opposition for a single bowler. This invention provides an absent bowler on monitor screen, having means for displaying a motion video of an absent bowler to bowl with, having means for displaying an absent bowler's results and score, having means for audio supply of the absent bowler, having means for determining handicaps for the game including the absent bowler from a pre-set percentage of the base score and randomly selected frames, and having means for comparison of scores, judgment of win and loss and display of the standings.
