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

According to me Score is the measure of the capability of every person and helps to perform well. Winning is not very important but everyone plays to win. If a person fails he/she knows his/her weaknesses and work hard for the next time. Score is only the mirror which shows everyone strengths and weaknesses.

Hi,

Obviously winning isn't everything but sometimes we should consider score also. Why, because without judging capabilities of team player if any team win then it may be all players cannot get chance judge their own self that may decrease confidence of players so that score matters and as we know performance is mirror of every players to improve himself. So, I think score must be considered. Thanks.

Winning may be the primary goal for each game but what is the use of that game where scores are not kept. Scores help an individual, be it the performer, be it an opponent or be it an audience, it shows the calibre of a person, the form of the player and at the same time, it alerts opponents about the other's strength and weaknesses.

Hi friends,

It is true that winning is not everything in the game, sports spirit is the most important because playing with the true spirit is the thing that matters the most. Discussing about scores they are kept to analyze the performance of every team and every player. Scores also help in deciding which team has won and which team not because in the end there will be only one winner.

Even in a student life, this principle applies. It is not important to get first rank in the class but to analyze the performance of every student the criteria of marks is followed. Marks help in deciding which student has performed well in the class and who is not.

So, friends scores are only there to evaluate an individual and keep a check on his/her performance. In the end, there will be only one winner but everyone tries to win the match and the criteria is score.

Thank you.

Hi friends.

The topic "if winning isn't everything, why do they keep the scores" is about two things mainly- winning and scores. According to my point of view winning is not so easy, to become winner one should know how he/she has to perform, how much more efforts he/she has to give, how many more steps he/she has to take, how long he/she has to survive etc. These can only be known if we know the score.

Score tells the way to become winner. Scores are necessary to know individual performance. We can identify the winner on the basis of scores only.

As water is necessary for life, in the similar way scores are necessary to become a winner.

No winning a game is not necessary we should always show our spirit by participating in game. It doesn't need you win or loss. But score show how best you are.

Hello everyone, I'm suganya. Yes winning is not everything but it is something. One cannot simply participate in a game and win. You need to put in a lot of effort and hardwork to win. At the end, when each individual is given a score, it indeed helps them a lot to evaluate themselves on where they stand.

Scores are for the people watching the game and for the players to know where their team or they stand among the rest. They are there to keep the winning spirit and excitement in place. But yes, winning is not everything. Some people cheat/ use unfair means just to register a win in the books. This is not ethical. Participation with full enthusiasm and interest is much more important according to me.

Hello Friends,

In my opinion, if somebody has taken a profession as a sportsman, he wants to be at no. 1 position and if he achieves that still he wants to improve as whole or change its techniques so that he can retain that position. For Example - Rafael Nadal trying very hard to retain its position.

Yes Winning is not everything but yes it has got a lot of value. For a person who is new to a sport requires score so that he can improve more. For a swimmer every second counts to win, to IMPROVE.

When a sportsman achieves a score every second after that is spent by him on thinking how can he score more than the previous one.

So yes scoring is good and creating a score better then the previous one is what sportsman wants but without cheating himself.

Yes winning is not everything in any game. If we keep score in mind than we can not win the game or I can say we can not do our best. I like to tall you a example one day Sachin said when I play the game that time I forget my records or score. Just do our best.
