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

Hello, Guys, I think the first and foremost important thing about a game is participation.

Considering the Winning factor, it is the potential of an individual as to how as a team they are playing together against another team. WINNING defines the criteria or the difference between the two teams on that particular day & location. It is rather more important to rely on the fact that one should play its own game and compete with its own the next time.

The Score to be precise is the measurement/quality which a player inputs into the game, and at the end, the well-deserved player is awarded based on this score.

I think winning is everything no matters how as everything is fair in love and war and Sports is like a war. Thank you.

Well, friends the topic in discussion here is forcing us to focus deeply on the root level of games and sportsmanship. Winning is not everything, it means that there is no value of a win if someone does not possess sportsmanship. It's a fact that every team on the field plays for victory only and to compare the performances of the team, the score is necessary. That's why it is said winning is not important, the way you play the game is important. As match score can only calculate one's performance but not sportsmanship, they are restricted to field only whereas sportsmanship is a part of personality.

Well, in my point of view, winning and losing is a part of life. But in the other hand If you can't win then other can win your game. So it is necessary to win in every competition not only in games but also in other works as well. And scores are the most important things in every games or works, without scoring you can't measure the capability of an individuals or a team.

Winning is not everything it doesn't mean that we don't require to compete or fight. Everytime we compete for something we require to put our full effort but sometimes even after giving your 100% you lose. Then we say that winning is not everything and things which you learnt from this lose is of more importance. But obviously scores or rank is necessary as it is benchmark of performance and it keeps passion in competition and keep you motivated to compete.

According to me, score is not just a number. It shows the performance level of a team or an individual. If you we go in deep we find, it's true that matches are only for amusement and fun but a team/individual wins that only because of their practice and support of associations. That also shows how their countries support sports. Lastly, score helps in keeping the spirit and motivation of game alive.

Yes, winning isn't everything but there is a requirement of something to measure one's performance. So that it will help to improve once performance & to give better result next time. It will also help to play more enthusiastically So I think there is need of score for performance measurement.

Yes, winning is not everything but it means a lot. I would like to say;

By keeping score, performance between the participating teams can be compared and analysed. It tells about the strength and weakness of a team.

By keeping score, there will always be an enthusiasm among the players to do better the every next time.

It also makes the game interesting, the players, as well as spectators, enjoy the games.

The Score system is one of the best criteria to award any deserving candidate/player.

And this is all how the scoring system keeps the spirit of games alive. Thanks.

Yes, we all admit that winning isn't everything but according to me scores are mandatory because whether it is cricket, hockey, badminton or something else, 1 thing is similar in all of them, they all are a "game" a play of performance, and performance can only be measured in terms of scores.

Moreover, if scores were not there it would be very difficult to know where to stop. As apart from time score is the biggest factor that fixes the end point of a game.

Hello everyone.

Acc. to my point of view, there is two meaning of this statement, first, participation in the game and second proof for what you are participating for, if we take part in the game, it shows that there is a quality of accepting the challenge and there is a challenge in the game if we set a target (score). Yes, it is truth that winning isn't everything but if we didn't get anything after participation, it will totally useless and if there isn't any target then we keep moving and moving in the space. So if we win or loose the game doesn't matter but what you get from this, is the point.

Thank you.
