Bowling Average Calculator

For recreational bowlers, anything above 140 is solid. League bowlers typically average 150-175, with strong league players reaching 180-200. Averages above 200 indicate an advanced or expert bowler. The professional tour average is well above 200. A 'good' average is relative to your experience and how often you bowl.

Most leagues calculate average over a full season of games (often 30+ games), though it's common to see a 'current' average based on the last 3-game series, which can swing more than a season-long average because of the smaller sample size.
