to score, a player again knocks the pin in the air. before it lands, the player hits it as many times as possible, to move it away from the hole. this process is repeated three times in which the player tries to throw the pin as far as he can. the score is calculated by multiplying the number of hits by the number of stick lengths the pin traveled. if the player hits the pin twice in the air, the score will be twice the number of stick lengths the pin traveled.
