If Winning isn't everything, why do they Keep the Score?

According to my point of view, winning is important because it gives so much motivation to enhance your skill but if your fail then its not your end, you should work hard again and again until you not getting success and scores is like a mirror which shows that where you stand and how much hard work is required, so I think keeping score is very crucial for players as it works like a catalyst for players.

Winning might not be important, but in order to improve oneself, the scores cannot be overlooked, in order to estimate oneself, scores are necessary, scores are necessary for self-assessment. Winning gains its essence from scores only! as in case of exams, one needn't be a first ranker, but if scores hadn't been there, would any one of us have taken the exams seriously?

We do not keep score for the sole purpose of deciding the winner. Scoring is used as a feedback mechanism.

In exams or sport, how do you know that a concept is wrong, a strategy is not working, a performance is not up to the mark if we are not keeping score? Scores help us to quantify our efforts, and help us achieve more and move more closely to the idea of perfection.

Of course this only applies when you are trying to enhance a skill, arts, sports etc. If your sole purpose of a activity is to have fun, like a friendly children game etc, keeping scores is unnecessary.

Hi everyone, score is to analyze and improve the performance not to only know winner or loser. Score is only the factor which holds the attention of people.

For example in case of Cricket, if winning will only be most important thing than none of the audience will watch the complete innings, audience will only check result of the match. On the other hand the players of losing team will not have the target to work-out for improvement in their performance.

Another example is, if students will get result in form of "pass" or "fail" they will not know about their rank or position in competition.

So, it is concluded that winning isn't everything but scores has a great importance.

Winning isn't everything but winning is most crucial part in life. Scores are mostly to show the difference between two or more people, I mean to know them in which position they are in their lives. Going blindly is not correct every time we need to evaluate our performance. Score is one way to evaluate our performance and move ahead as high as we can. Thank you.

Scores play the same role as the marks play in the student's life. It actually tell as our level at which position we are. Suppose if there is no score then how we got to know which rank you get in our class. This is most important because everyone can't be consider at first position to hold the first rank and for making the things interest. So that everyone give their best. For raising the competition feeling. This score system play best role.

We need to understand the term Score. Scores are there as a measure of your performance. If there are no scores, we can't measure our performance. Hence evaluation becomes difficult. Winning is nothing but the outcome of the game. Whoever performs well, wins. Hence, the losing team has a chance to check, what are their lacking points. And based on that, they can improve next time. After all, winning is also necessary to boost your confidence and to let you know that you are doing well and your efforts are going in right direction. Thanks.

Scores as many of them expressed is a measure of your capability to do that work in this case how well you can play. Learning is just gathering the knowledge but once you test it we get to know how much we have learnt in the same way in my point of view scores are essential and tell us our performance. So even winning isn't everything we need to have scores.

If we are not recording the scores during the play then we won't have any sportsman spirit. Nowadays without competition it is quite difficult to survive in this world. So for competition, scores should be recorded so that we could identify our weakness and thus we can reduce it by our hard work.

In my opinion a score is a measure of how well the person is ready to face the thing which he has learned, and recording the score makes him to think the new ways to improve the score. This way the sport improves and creates perfection in enthusiasm.
