Our beer frame is a different format. 5th frame, person with the lowest count on the first ball loses. Two or more tie, then it goes on until they don't tie. 2nd ball has no bearing.
Then there is the man-in, or hanged man game. If everyone strikes in one frame, and one person doesn't, that person buys a round of drinks.
One that is played in our house that I'm not really a fan of is the 11 game. The lest competive teams, it is just if you get a 111 in the 7th frame, tnen you buy a round. In recent years it has gotten out of hand though and the 11 buys in any frame, as does any other 11 score. 11, 11, 211, 411 series, 511 series, 611 series etc. . .
One team that I sub on has a simple coin game. You get a double, everyone gives you a dime. you get a turkey, everyone gives you a quarter. for everything after that each person gives you $0.50. And every 5th strike pays $0.25 by everyone else.
Then there is another game played that usually involves 5-6 people, often not on the same team, where in the third game, you pay out a dollar to everyone else that gets a strike. I once payed out $27 playing this on an off night for me.
