According to My Opinion Winning is Not Permanent, Failure is Not final So, Play game To know your ability not to Judge your fate, Peoples love winners, So Everyone trying To Win, Failures teach you How to Win.

Definitely, winning is not everything. Every experience in our life teaches us something to learn. Suppose, there is a task: There are a group of 20 people and the person who climbs the mountain first will get 20,000 cash. Now, all the 20 people can't win the game. But, all of them will make new friends, share each others stories and while climbing the mountain they may even get to see beautiful scenery. More than 20,000 all these are the moments we will remember life long that 20,000 might get done in 2 months. So, participating and enjoying things matter a lot more than winning.

Winning and losing both are the part of the game. We have to accept both equally. Winning one game will not decide that you will win all the games like this losing will also not decides you are a looser. So, trying hard and hard we can improve our skills that makes a man perfect.

Yes, Of course, winning isn't everything. By keeping the sores, you can know your capability. Once you know that, keep working on it and increases it day by day. Just work hard to increase your skills and your talent not for the victory because victory is temporary, if you take that seriously, it will always become a burden on you. So when you won in something don't take that seriously that gives you the pressure of winning all the things which will be in the next. The same comes to losing as.
Well if you lost, don't feel that the whole world is crushing on you. Just chill. Keep working on your skills. The most important thing is don't let others estimate you, you only know what you are capable of. Take a deep breath and start again. Winning or Losing doesn't matter. Your dedication and hard work, passion and love towards the work which you are doing is important.

Hello, Everyone.
"Sports without Competition is like a Meal without Spices".
1) Keeping scores raises the competitive spirit between the participants so they are pushed to perform better.
2) Any sport is nothing without the viewers, Maintaining scores make the game interesting for the participants as well as the viewers.
3) Scoring acts as a catalyst in improving the standard of sports.
Although scoring and competition are essential ingredients for any sports but I will conclude that "Winning in a game is not everything" but "Wanting to win" is the most important thing in any sport.

Hello everyone,
Consider that, we are in a GD room in this topic, we all must have been selected from a larger lot (Exam) which means we all have won a game and many would have failed in that. All those were governed by a scale 'SCORE'.
So score always just gives provides a means of the healthy competition and provide the chance to prove yourself in the game.
Next, some of us will be selected after GD and again others will not. Few win and others not but those who have failed will definitely try in another game, considering he works hard and again does not win the next game, he again works hard and plays times after times finally he wins.
When we play it's all about how we play to achieve his target or score. Win or lose doesn't matter at the very particular moment, but in a long run, we all play to win. And ultimately we all win. All we have to do is put our focus on our work which is nothing but the SCORE and win will be yours.

Everybody proclaims that winning isn't everything, well that has a modicum of truth but the question is why do we keep the score?
The answer to this question is pretty simple, people work to satiate their hunger for success and scores are just the motivation to get ahead. Everybody needs some motivation or incentive which the scoreboard is providing in this case. Scores define your performance, it reflects those areas where you lag so that you can work upon it and also highlights the areas where you excel. Participation and sincere efforts that you put in is for a purpose and winning is that purpose, it is that goal which has to be achieved.
Goals in life give you a certain direction. People move in the direction of their goals and defeat every hurdle with zeal but if there's no goal there's no direction. When we say winning isn't everything, we imply the fact that our life does not depend on the outcome of a game. The cardinal point is the learning process which is facilitated by the scoreboard. Winning and losing are just the superficial parts of a game, the main aim is to improve, participate, perform and do better every time.

I do agree that winning is not everything but keeping the score is necessary as it can create a competition between teams so that all of them could play with interest.
The one who has scored well would be happy for his hard work and the one who has scored less would try to improve.

Yeah, it's true, winning is not everything.
Think if a person wants to win every time even without doing hard work and when they lose suddenly then they will find mistakes in others, not in themselves.
Winning and losing is like a double-edged sword. If winning encourages us to continue same work in future then Losing equally teach us to do hard work, to realise our mistakes. Every time it does not matter to win but its matter to learn every time. When we lose we try to search for new ideas and we do lots of hard work for the great victory. After a lot of hard work and after searching new and great ideas to win, when a person succeeds with a great victory then he/she realise the importance of losing a game and realise how that lose turn them into a strong man.
So winning does not mean to think we are stronger then anyone but its like to realise that we are capable to do anything and there is nothing impossible to do any task unless we put our hard work. Winning is just to encourage people but a person who chooses his field with passion and interest, for them winning and losing does not matter. The only thing is matter is to do their best in that field and to learn from mistakes.

A score is necessary because,
* It used as a measure of the performance index.
* It helps the player to compare their performance and encourages them to perform better.
* Awarding prizes and medals to the highest scorer motivates him and encourages other players.
* Prizes can be awarded only if scoring system is there.
* In the absence of scoring system no player will take the pain to perform better.
