You win or lose, your life doesn't end there. Here the importance is given to the participation.
If you win it shows how hard work you're.
If you loose it shows where you have missed. So that you can work on it, and correct them in the next match.
They keep the score because to increase the level of competition between two teams, If there is no competition there is no game.

Yes, I agree "winning isn't everything but we can't ignore that after wining how we feel. Winning a game increase our confidence, level, personality. Based on that one can't be judged on his/her performance throughout life. Scores show the areas to develop and finally, at one day we will also be a winner. This is true as the two complements of the world like light and dark, true and false etc but they both are made for any reason. So what I think here is competition is something which is needed to judge an individual and his mental ability as well. Also, it tells us how confident one is in handling a situation.

Dear friends,
In my opinion winning is surely a good feeling a sense of achievement of one's hard work and determination and in the other hand scores reflects how much hard work we have to do and workout on our mistakes again and again. Scores makes a game or an exam more interesting, it creates competition among the players and urge them to give their 100% without scores it would be like food without salt in it.

Yes. Winning is not everything. But if there will be no scores there would be no competition. If there will be no competition there would not be any zeal and enthusiasm. And most important if there would be no winning then there would be no losing also. Which is integral to move forward whether in games or in life.

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.

Let me start with definition of Score!. Score is that value/figures that is given to a person or a team based on its performance in a given field or work. This score signifies how good or bad he is. It could be either GDP of a country, runs scored by a player, etc these help to determine how well he is been in his field of work, which in turn defines his dedication towards work.
Winning is that moment that is achieved when a person/team performs good, which in turn is dependent on scores.
Yes, Winning is not everything, but having scores will appreciate the player/team/country to boost themselves into being good at what they do. In this process if they fail to get a good score, scores help them to know where the undermine is, and they work on it to improve it. Which will certainly help them to improve their score in next term and might help them to win a match.
Bottomline, Scores help us in determining how well we are at a given work and gives us a chance to work on it, to build ourselves and win in our life if not in the game.

Hai everyone.
In my point of view, if you want to win or lose. i.e whatever the is, you must give a try on something. Winning is a heavenly feeling, and failure is better than not even trying. Because failure itself means that you have tried at-least one.
Winning or losing is always secondary. And the primary thing is to give an attempt or try. You have played means you have won somewhere in your journey of life. Even considering life as a big game, you are playing it because you are born in this beautiful earth. Score is just an add on factor to keep the spirit and not to let ourselves down.
Thank you.

Hello guys. I am shankul.
I really want to say this to all of you. Why we all are considering game as cricket, any other sport or School /College exam. Our whole life is a game in itself. And we might not get whatever we want in life, there could be our different wishes we try to have them but if we didn't get, this doesn't mean we stop trying. We came to know at every step where we lag behind. It is not the matter of winning or losing at all. Neither winning or losing make us stronger or weaker. It is just the weakness of ours we came to know at every step and correct them. It is our competition with our own. No one else.
So for me there is no term like winning or losing for me.
It is just improvement of our own.
It is just the scores we get at every step we makeup with our Mistakes.
Thanks.

Because if you don't keep the score, it means that you have already accepted the defeat without even giving it a try and there can be nothing worse than this. Yes, winning is not everything, but trying for win and giving your best is something that matters the most.
Irrespective of the strength your opponent, you should come on the field with a winning mindset. If you are not able to win, learn from the mistakes that you did in the game and try not to repeat the same in coming games.
Winning and losing are part of a game and also our life. What matters is your attitude after a win or loss. A win does not mean you have achieved everything and a loss doesn't means you are left with with nothing. In both the cases you have to try to improve yourself and move on.

Hello everyone.
In my opinion we do need to keep scores in any game because these scores make the game more interesting for the player as well as for the audience to watch out. Scores are important to analyze the strength and weakness of a player. If there were no scores there would be no enthusiasm because there would no benchmark to judge the performances of the team.
Also winning is not necessary since its just the outcome of one game. There may be just one winner in a game but there are many winners in life. Winning and losing are just parameters of life to inculcate sportsmanship in players. There is nothing bad in losing, bad is to consider yourself as a loser. So one should refrain from that. When we lose we learn from our mistakes and when we win we cherish our leanings. So in nutshell winning is not everything, its scores that judge ones performance.
