Savita,

  this is a really good question, and your team could be finding Rule

27, Bullet 4, kind of confusing:  "Scoring:  When a mission is

required to be achieved through a specific method, but is achieved by

some other method, it is marked scoreless."



  For a mission like Bowling, since there are multiple things that can

happen that are worth points, we look at each of those things

independently.



  This is emphasized in the Bowling mission's description of Method

Requirements:

"each pin’s fall must be caused by impact from a completely loose and

independent ball (not touching or guided by anything at the time of

impact) or another loose/independent pin. Pins falling for any other

reason are worth 0."



   So, in your example, the 4 pins that were knocked down

appropriately are all worth points.  If pins are knocked down in an

unallowable manner, then only those pins are not counted--all the

others that are down are counted.
