| I agree that yeah score is not at all important in game, but can anyone please tell me how will you evaluate the the performance of the players. I think its quite impossible without score. It is only the score which enables the players too to watch their performance. I think game without score is same as ship without radar. |

| Score is very important for winning. For instance if there would be no score, then there would be no sports only. Every sport has a score. In cricket score is equivalent to runs, in football it is goals, in swimming, racing score is taken in the format best time. To sum up, if there would be no score, there would never be an existence of sports in our life. |

| Winning is everything. If there is no winning, there would be no update in technology, the countries, the world would be still using technology of our ancestors. Score creates a sense of winning. The world would be still using Thomas Edison's bulb, Graham bell's telephone, wright brothers would have not come up with airplane. Because of score or records, there is competition and because of competition there are discoveries, inventions and innovations. Therefore score is an important part of winning and winning is essential in one's life. |

| To measure one's competitiveness score is really important. If there is no score, there is no competition, if there is no competition there is neither winners nor losers. The flip side score or competition has wiped the moral values of the individuals, companies and country. Competition has to be taken in sporting way. For example some students in order to pass (win) in board exams by hook or crook, they use illegal means. Hence if winning is everything, score can come either legally or illegally. |

Winning is everything as well as scores. , because scores create differences thats helps someone to judge his inner potential, it rise the label of competencies and give us a platform to others to judge the important of that person, ex sachine dada and dravid, why nt others, ?
Winning also important, it will lead the history, ex--when we are listening our forefathers they fought against british and gave freedom, hau anybody seen that? answer no, but it creating inspiration, if they never today can we celebrate all this republic day and independent day, ?, nope, so friends winning as well as scores hau equal important in everybody's life. |

Hi everybody,
Before putting my views, I would like to remember some of the world records in the field of sports:
- 100 international centuries by great Sachin.
- 800 test wickets by Murlitharan.
- Longest ever tennis match between John Issner & Nicolas Mahut for 11 hours & 5 minutes.
- Batting average of 99.94 by sir Don Bradman.
Friends these figures and many others like this thrill any sport lover and inspire young sports persons to set new records by beating such records, if they can.
I think that's why keeping score is as important as playing any game. |

Hi Friends,
Some are right from the way I think and some are wrong. PLEASE the one who are wrong should not feel bad or sad. I think winning is everything and scores are also important. Life is a game the way we win it matters. The scores are also important because they helps us to improve if we have lost or makes us happy by winning and we always see the scores from how much we have won.
For example:we write our opinion if there is no importance of score. Why have this site gave the option of rating. If there is no importance of score. The more positive rate we get it makes us happy that we are on the top. I think I have told much I would conclude by saying that winning is everything and score is important. I am very happy to write my opinion before my dear friends. Have a nice day. |

| I think winning is important for every person in every walk of life, its may be in education field or may in game. Only two things can happen during the game, one side can win or loose. If one wins then its obvious that their score will be good and other side if looses the game but having good score, at this situation they shouldn't demoralise themselves, instead of that they should learn from the previous mistake and try to do better in next matches. So we can say that score is a measure of performance of individual in game. If winning the game is not the target then how one can think of doing a good score, then there will be no competition. |

| I agree with the statement that playing is not all winning but scoring is a real essential part of a game or a sport. Because it helps us to improve upon our skills and improve upon what we have played whether won or lost. It helps us compare ourselves with our past performances and strive for a more better ones. It also tests the capabilities of a person during critical situations for example when a match is at its dead end and prove one's ability of fighting the stress within. It makes the really exciting and inculcates competitiveness among the players. |

| I agree with the statement that winning is not everything but Score is an essential part of winning. As we know that Little efforts systematically put on would allow to accomplish the task, similarly in a game each individual score would lead to Winning of game. To a player, his score in the previous game becomes a TARGET in his next game. He will come to know where he is standing and how much he has to improve. Even if by his good score, his team looses but in the next game his moral will be high and with more positive thinking he will try again and keep a better score which tends to greater chances of success for his team. Having the score can judge the individual strength, and it helps to make a good team with different combination of players. |

| Always winning is not important, sometimes just completing the game is also important. Winning the game show that you are stellar in that particular field but score is necessary to keep the track on how much u r ahead of the others who are also on the same track. Score are just to check your performance, just to grade u with respect to others. |

Hi friends,
If you are working hard surely you will get success. But when you succeed the answer of this question is decided by the score. I agree with the point that winning is important but if we didn't win & if we have good score then we should have positive attitude, we should boost ourself & give the best next time. So, score not only increase our interest but also it help to know our caliber and it also help to know were we loose. By knowing this we can increase our score rate, our streangth & we can remove our weakness. So I think score are very important part of any game. |

It not only brings excitement and interest in game, it also help in judging the performance and ability of the players of a particular team as compare to other team. Finally we shouldn't forget the fact that, the whole world is a "Number game". So numbers does matter everywhere including the games. |

In my opinion winning is not everything, but teams play for winning the match. No player want to lose a game. But the result is not more important than the moral and ethics of the game.
So they keep score to decide result of the game and to evaluate the performance of individual players.
A game has no meaning without result. So winning is not everything but it matters. |

| The players who play the game at the present feel has winning is everything but if they loose the game winning is not everything. But they keep scores because to guess who is the winner of the game and to keep the difference between the two teams which will be helpful to conduct a new game with another opponent team which have won in another game. Scores have been important to identify the team strength, capacity, intelligence, hard work and soon.Scores play a vital role in bringing up a concentration and spirit to the players in the game and which may even create a new sportsman. These are some reasons for which they keep score. |

| Winning is not everything that doesn't mean one shouldn't play well. It actually means that if you played well then also you defeated then no need to get disappointed. Its life - Winning or Lose is very common here, not a big deal but one has to learn from his/her defeat. But if there wouldn't be any score then players will not play well, they will not motivate themselves for winning, there will be no competition then. So all I want to say Scores are important. |

I think any game from indoor games to outdoor games from the street games to international games are played as a kind of competition between players wherein each one will try to prove themselves as a best performer.Here winning is'nt evrything means that if after many preparations if u loose the game than dont worry,without loosing confidence appear with more new preparations and techniques next time because it is the game one may loose...
And the score ultimately represents the performance of the individual or of the team and it brings a sort of excitement and competition in the game. |

| Yes I agree that winning is not everything but if the game has no scores. It will be very boring. Players will not motivate themselves for winning, they don't feel competition between their co-players because scores encourage them for performing their best. On the other hand, audiance also find game boring without scores. Without scores to whom they will cheer in the game. So its a preety good thing to have scores in any game but its not more important than the sport-spirit always. |

| Scoring is imp. Because it gives real excitement and competition to the game. Imagine the excitement when sachin is there on 99 or Imagine India need only one run to win on last ball. So you will never feel the real excitement of the game without scores. Scores gives speed and enthusiasm to the game. Winning and loosing are the results of the scoring process. How can we determine the winner without scoring? players should not focus too much on scores. They should give their 100 percent on field and the scores will take care of itself automatically. |

Of course every team will not be the in the topmost position in the same way every team will not be in the least position. In order to distinguish their positions score plays a very important role. Score shows their present performance capacity and helps to improve in the stepwise manner. Definitely score will help to improve the spirit in the players such that they will focus on their destiny.
In the same way audience will show enthusiasm and they were eagerly waiting that which team is going to win with the help of score. We cant even imagine the game without score its really boring. |

Competition is necessary for growth. Sport spirit is important for maintaining ethics of a sport. Winning is not everything but score required so that each time a player is motivated to do better. And they should play with sport spirit so that fragrance of sport doesn't get destroyed. |

Missing out a score in one match does not mean he is weak. But his talent is not exposed in one particular match. Constant score is to be maintained through out the matches to support the team. Thus scores are important. |
