Best Frame / Best Box

Definition: This is a classic game that is normally played in teams of two for tournament instances.  It is very similar to golf where Paul hits his ball and John tries to hit a better shot.  Traditionally, the bowler with the lowest average goes first and the bowler with the highest average goes second.  A third virtual bowler is added to the team.  If Paul strikes, John skips his turn and a strike is added to the virtual bowler.  If Paul does a spare on an open frame, John steps on the approach and tries to do better to improve the virtual bowler's score.  There is also a possibility of both players to bowl their frame and whichever frame is the best is added to the virtual bowler's score.

Note : When building this tournament in Lexer (the league and tournament software), a specific configuration is required.  Ask our crew for some assistance to make sure the configuration of the tournament is done properly.
