English term or phrase: scratch
Bowling term meaning "Without benefit of handicap; actual score".

Is there a Latin American Spanish equivalent for this term or is it used in English?
Other terms I need help on:

Split
Definition: A spare leave in which the headpin is down and the remaining combination of pins have an intermediate pin down immediately ahead of or between them.

Thanks a lot!

scratch=sin gabela, raso, sin ventaja split=dividido
Explanation:
I have found many spanish texts with the term in english (scratch), but I think it could be translated as "sin ventaja" o "sin gabela" (see reference). An option could to put the term in english quoted and the translation in parenthesis: "scratch" (sin ventaja).

I would translate split to: dividido. You could use the same solution: "split" (dividido).

"scratch"


Explanation:
Split is commonly used in Boling (Boliche) in many Latin American Countries.

I don\'t know about \"scratch\", maybe it is a part of a particular bowling rule.

Below is a mexican bowling site, maybe this can be helpful

cero de handicap


Explanation:
´Lelgué tarde a esta pero me parece que "scratch" también se usa como "partir de cero". En golf, scratch es el que tiene handicap cero.
