If every single pin had fallen
Every single pin you left and missed, counted as made, with the whole game re-scored — a spare picks up the next ball as well. The 10th counts here too, so this can include a pin the frames 1–9 table above does not: a single pin left on the first ball of the 10th becomes a spare with the fill ball counted as a strike, the best it could have been, while a single pin left on the fill after a strike simply counts as knocked down.
