More Menu - Change Scoring Mode Button

The Change Score Mode button, is used to change the No Tap and 3-6-9 settings for the selected lane or lane range.

No Tap, is a variation of standard ten pin scoring and is used to adjust the number of pins that must be bowled over to score a strike during bowling.  The following options are available:

• None, which means this bowler will not be using No Tap scoring, and will need to bowl ten pins over on the first ball of a frame to score a strike.
• 6 Pin No Tap, which means this bowler will be using No Tap scoring, and will score a strike if six or more pins are bowled over on the first ball of a frame.
• 7 Pin No Tap, which means this bowler will be using No Tap scoring, and will score a strike if seven or more pins are bowled over on the first ball of a frame.
• 8 Pin No Tap, which means this bowler will be using No Tap scoring, and will score a strike if eight or more pins are bowled over on the first ball of a frame.
• 9 Pin No Tap, which means this bowler will be using No Tap scoring, and will score a strike if nine or more pins are bowled over on the first ball of a frame.
• Use Current Setting, which means no changes will be made to the No Tap settings.

3/6/9, is a variation of standard ten pin scoring, and is used to automatically score a strike in the third, sixth and ninth frames of a game.  The following options are available:

• Use Current Setting, which means no changes will be made to the 3/69 settings.
• Enable for All Bowlers, which means all bowlers on the selected lane will have 3/6/9 enabled, awarding them an automatic strike in the third, sixth and ninth frames.
• Disable for all Bowlers, which means all bowlers on the selected lane will not have 3/6/9 enabled and regular bowling will occur in the third, sixth and ninth frames.
