In bowling, ‘scratch’ means not accounting for the handicap in the game. A scratch game is the actual score, whereas a handicap game adds the scratch game score and the handicap together. For example, if a player’s handicap is 15 and they bowl 250 points, then their ‘scratch’ score is 250, but their handicap score is 265.
