ABSTRACT:
A computerized bowling device includes a microprocessor, logic and memory that drives a novel display panel. The display panel has a name display region for showing a team's name or a bowler's name and a plurality of primary regions and a final frame region to display the running score of a bowler. Each of the primary regions has separate first and second ball registries, with the second ball registries having an X-shaped symbol, a subtotal region for displaying a subtotal score, a frame active indicator for indexing an addressed frame and a ball registry indicator for indexing an addressed register. The final frame region is similar to the primary frame region but includes a plurality of ball registers having numeric symbols and a plurality of registers having X-shaped symbols. The computer receives data and commands from a keyboard to cause tabulation and display of bowling scores, and can keep several running scores in memory while a different score is displayed, this being accomplished through a bowler scroll command key. Errors can be corrected at the time made or subsequently, with the computer automatically updating corrected subsequent totals. A printer and a tape storage may be used to generate a hard copy of the running scores.
