Since throwing three strikes in a row is referred to as a ""turkey,"" novices who have three spares in a row usually use terms related to birds such as a ""sparrow"" or ""cornish game hen"" to celebrate this achievement.

A player who bowls a spare in the tenth (final) frame is awarded one extra ball to allow for the bonus pins. Correctly calculating bonus pins can be difficult, especially when combinations of strikes and spares come"

(Four strikes in a row is also referred to as a ""Llama."") A double's pinfall is: Three strikes bowled consecutively are known as a ""turkey"" or ""triple"". A turkey's pinfall is: Three consecutive strike in the 10th frame is equal to 30 points Longer strings of strikes are called by various names, including ""-Bagger"" (Four Bagger), ""Llama"" (Four consecutive), and ""-Pack"" (Six Pack) depending on local use, equipment, and exposure to the sport."
"the tenth). A ""perfect game"" or 12 strikes in a row is also rarely referred to as the ""Thanksgiving Turkey"". A ""Clean Game"" is a game with strikes or spares in every frame (not counting bonus balls). A small number of bowling fans have recognized that naming each strike in a consistent manner adds to the enjoyment and excitement of the game. Based on this, a growing number of bowlers subscribe to the ""Duck, Duck, Turkey"" method of titling consecutive strikes. In keeping with the tradition that the third consecutive strike is called a ""Turkey,"" every third strike references turkeys"
"Recently, the event of bowling four consecutive strikes has also been called a ""hambone"". Six strikes and nine strikes in a row can also be referred to ""Wild Turkeys"" and ""Golden Turkeys"" respectively. Any string of strikes starting in the first frame or ending ""off the sheet"" (where all of a bowler's shots from a certain frame to the end of the game strike) are often referred to as the ""front"" or ""back"" strikes, respectively (e.g., the ""front nine"" for strikes in frames 1–9, or the ""back six"" for strikes in frames 7, 8, and 9 with a turkey in"

An eagle usually occurs when a golfer hits the ball far enough to reach the green with fewer strokes than expected. It most commonly happens on par-fives but can occur on short par-fours. A hole in one on a par-three hole also results in an eagle. The name ""eagle"" was used as a large bird representing a better score than a birdie. Albatross means three shots under par (−3) (the albatross being one of the largest birds); also called a double"
"string is often referenced by affixing ""in a row"" to the number of strikes bowled consecutively. Six strikes in a row are sometimes referred to as a ""six pack"" or ""sixer"". Six strikes and nine strikes in a row can also be referred to ""wild turkeys"" and ""golden turkeys"" respectively. Any string of strikes starting in the first frame or ending ""off the sheet"" (where all of a bowler's shots from a certain frame to the end of the game strike) are often referred to as the ""front"" or ""back"" strikes, respectively (e.g. the 'front nine' for strikes in frames"
"Strike (bowling) A strike is a term used in bowling to indicate that all of the pins have been knocked down with the first ball of a frame. On a bowling score sheet, a strike is symbolized by an X. When all ten pins are completely knocked down with the first ball (called a strike and typically rendered as an ""X"" on a score sheet), a player is awarded ten points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next two balls. In this way, the points scored for the two balls after the strike are counted twice. Strike"
"Bowling Bowling is a sport or leisure activity in which a player rolls or throws a bowling ball towards a target. It is one of the major forms of throwing sports. In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins (10 pins) at the end of a lane. A strike is when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll, whereas a spare is when all the pins are knocked over on the second shot. The maximum score is 300, which is achieved by getting 12 strikes in a row. Three consecutive strikes are known"
"bowling, weighing each, which are devoid of finger holes. The pins are correspondingly shorter and lighter than their ten-pin equivalents. Hence, when the pins are knocked down, they resemble a ""flock of flying ducks"". While the rules remained almost identical to those of the Ten-pin game, one rule change was made: A bowler is allowed to use three bowls on each turn. Strikes would still be strikes and spares still spares, but when all pins were knocked down on the third ball, it counts as a score of ten. During the summer of 1900, some bowlers at Diamond Alleys in"
"of strikes for an out was changed to four, but it was promptly changed back to three the next season. A swinging strikeout is often called a ""whiff"", while a batter who is struck out by a fastball is often said to have been ""blown away"". A batter who strikes out on a swung third strike is said to have ""fanned"" (as in a fanning motion), whereas if he takes a called third strike it is called a ""punchout"" (describing the plate umpire's dramatic punching motion on a called third strike). However, sometimes these words are used as general synonyms"
"Hat-trick A hat-trick or hat trick is the achievement of a positive feat three times in a game, or another achievement based on the number three. The term first appeared in 1858 in cricket, to describe H. H. Stephenson's taking three wickets with three consecutive deliveries. Fans held a collection for Stephenson, and presented him with a hat bought with the proceeds. The term was used in print for the first time in 1865. The term was eventually adopted by many other sports including hockey, association football, water polo, and team handball. A hat-trick occurs in association football when a"
"with more than one bowler, as is common, every bowler will take their frame in a predetermined order before the next frame begins. If a bowler is able to knock down all ten pins with the first ball, they are awarded a strike. If the bowler is able to knock down all 10 pins with the two balls of a frame, it is known as a spare. Bonus pins are awarded for both of these, depending on what is scored in the next two balls (for a strike) or one ball (for a spare). The bowler is allowed to throw"
"""Bowl-a-Rama"" this is a 3-ball multiball in which you get lots of points for scoring ""Super Strikes"" and ""Super Spares"". The mode will end when you lose 2 of the three balls you are given. There is a toy at the top of the playfield, one that some may call a ""Rock Slicer"", that will spin the ball around and around a few times and award points when it falls out. You can achieve this by hitting the yellow bird to the left of the playfield when the ""Machine Time"" light is lit. It will start a 30-second mode in"
"Three-cushion billiards Three-cushion billiards (sometimes called three-cushion carom, three-cushion, three-cushions, three-rail, rails, and the angle game, and often spelled with the numeral ""3"" instead of ""three"") is a popular form of carom billiards. The object of the game is to the off both and contact the at least three times before the last object ball. A point is scored for each successful carom. In most shots the cue ball hits the object balls one time each, although hitting them any number of times is allowed as long as both are hit. The contacts between the cue ball and the cushions"
"game in the eighth inning against the Minnesota Twins. A hat-trick occurs in cricket when a bowler dismisses three batsmen with consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings, but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick; run outs do not count. In some countries, especially Australia, four wickets in four balls is sometimes referred to as a double hat-trick on the basis that there are"
"player bowls over three pins with the first shot, then six with the second, the player would receive a total of nine pins for that frame. If a player knocks down nine pins with the first shot, but misses with the second, the player would also score nine. When a player fails to knock down all ten pins after their second ball it is known as an open frame. In the event that all ten pins are knocked over by a player in a single frame, bonuses are awarded. Two consecutive strikes are referred to as a ""double strike"" or"
"a triple 10 would count as 30 points if the player had already thrown three other triples to close them. In some cases in addition to doubles, triples and bulls, beds must also be closed. A bed is when all three darts from a single turn land in the same number. This version of cricket is also referred to as ""Piggy"" or ""Marty Mouse."" This variation of the game is played especially in north-west England. Teams split into equal numbers of players and each team chooses one person to throw closest to the bullseye. Closest to the bullseye goes first"

Tactics is the UK version of Cricket, and is almost the same as described above in Gameplay. However, Tactics, in addition to 20 through 15 and the bull's-eye, also uses Doubles and Triples as separate scoring objectives. Three of each number along with three bulls, three doubles, and three triples are required to complete the game. In addition the first player to close all objectives must have"

Interestingly, Trescothick - though more famous as a batsman and only an occasional bowler - has also taken a hat-trick as a bowler, in 1995 against the Young Australians. A hat-trick in darts is a score of three consecutive bullseyes, also known as the ""Alan Evans Shot"", after Alan Evans scored three bulleyes during a match on numerous occasions. In field hockey and ice hockey, a hat trick occurs when a player scores three goals"
"Hitting for the cycle In baseball, hitting for the cycle is the accomplishment of one batter hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a ""natural cycle"". Cycles are rare in Major League Baseball (MLB), having occurred only 324 times, starting with Curry Foley in 1882. The most recent example was accomplished by Brock Holt of the Boston Red Sox on October 8, 2018, against the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Division Series; it was the first cycle in"

"Shuttlecock A shuttlecock (also called a bird or birdie) is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It has an open conical shape formed by feathers (or a synthetic alternative) embedded into a rounded cork (or rubber) base. The shuttlecock's shape makes it extremely aerodynamically stable. Regardless of initial orientation, it will turn to fly cork first, and remain in the cork-first orientation. The name 'shuttlecock' originates in Victorian times, when badminton first became popular. It is frequently shortened to shuttle. The ""shuttle"" part of the name was probably derived from its back-and-forth motion during the game, resembling"
"2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. A game of ten-pin bowling is divided into ten rounds (called ""frames""). In a frame, each player is given two opportunities to knock down the skittle targets (called ""pins""). The player rolls the first ball at the pins. If the first ball knocks down all ten pins, it is called a ""strike"" and the frame is completed. When pins are left standing after the first ball, those that are knocked down are counted and then removed. Then the player rolls a second ball and if all the remaining pins are knocked down, it is called"
"""strike"". If all the pins are knocked down in two rolls, the bowler has made a ""spare"". If all the pins are knocked down in three rolls, it is scored as a ""ten"", as in candlepins, with no bonus. If pins are still standing after the third ball, the bowler gets one point for each pin knocked down. In the case of a strike, the bowler gets 10 points plus the total number of pins knocked down with the next two balls rolled, for a maximum of 30 points. In the case of a spare, the bowler gets 10 points"

Once all three sections of the phrase are completed, you will receive a bowling power-up. This bowling power-up will let you get strikes on all shots after achieving it. If you get three strikes in a row (this is easy when you have a bowling power-up), then you will go into a mode called"

Also, a third line, centered forward of the head pin (number-1 pin) spot is the"

Each family gets three chances to roll a bowling ball down a lane and knock down the pins to make the best scoring combination possible—in order from least to best: a pair, two pair, three of a kind, a small straight, a full house, a large straight, four of a kind, or Yahtzee (five of a kind). The family with the best combination wins a frame; two frames win the game. If a third frame is required after the families split the first two, each family gets only one roll, with the best combination winning the game."

A game of candlepin bowling, often called a string in New England, is divided into ten rounds, each of these rounds being most commonly referred to as a box, rather than a ""frame"" as in tenpin bowling. In each normal box, a player is given up to three opportunities to knock down as many pins as possible. In the final box, three balls are rolled regardless of the pincount, meaning three strikes can be scored in the"
"Bowl-out A bowl-out (sometimes termed a bowl-off) is used in various forms of limited overs cricket to decide a match that would otherwise end in a tie. The procedure is similar to a penalty shootout in football. Five bowlers from each side deliver one or two balls each at an unguarded wicket (three stumps). If each team has hit the same number of wickets after the first five bowlers per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death. A bowl-out was first used in the NatWest Trophy in June 1991 in a match between Derbyshire and Minor County"
