At the start of each "frame" (round of play, in bowling terms), ten Cuegloss|Object ball|object balls are Cuegloss|Rack|racked in with triangle with the front ball placed at the Cuegloss|Foot spot|foot spot. The Cuegloss|Cue ball|cue ball is placed in the area behind the Cuegloss|Head string|head string (Cuegloss|Baulk line|baulk line), i.e. in "Cuegloss|Kitchen|the kitchen", and the first player Cuegloss|Break|breaks. After the break the player gets Cuegloss|Ball-in-hand|ball in hand and tries to pocket as many balls as possible until missing. This is considered the first Cuegloss|Inning|inning of the frame, which consists of as many innings as there are players. If there are still balls left on the table after the first attempt, the player gets another try. Clearing all the balls on the first inning is called a strike, clearing remaining balls on the second inning is called a spare. For details on scoring see the scoring section for ten-pin bowling.
