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

A game is played between two nations not merely for fun but far beyond it. It depicts the whole population of the nation. Of course, winning isn't everything, recently England has lost to India but a fantastic innings was played by hammed who was injured to just delay the inevitable loss for England which was appreciated by many. That shows the spirit of players. The scores are counted because obviously, everyone can't represent a nation unless he is best the nation can send to represent. It also pushes the players to perform consistently. One more reason could be that viewers get bored if there is no competition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Instead of focusing on what other people are doing, just try to realize your own dreams. Dreams can turn into reality, if we move towards them consistently. Just be focused towards your dreams and goals of life. If you want to achieve your goals, it simply means that you have to take proper steps at the right time. It is never too late to realize your dreams and follow them with full passion and enthusiasm. If you work hard and do all the planning, then you can surely achieve your goal easily. Through competitions, you can get a chance to win many opportunities which can help you to fulfill your dreams.

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.

Hello, friends as there is a famous quote I will not win immediately but definitely, it depicts the whole meaning of our topic as t in a game there are two teams one team wins and the other loses and the third condition is a tie. But the team which wins is not winning immediately they might also lose some games and then reaches to this position so this statement depicts that you have to give a healthy competition to others so that they give best of them there might be chances that they win. But if they lost then the score not stops the score runs and they practice well and they finally get their win.

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.

Let us take an example if suppose I gave an exam and the results are out and they only gave the list of qualified and the non-qualified without giving their scores individually without any marks this is where the problem lies if suppose I didn't qualified for the exam I will not know my scores and will not know where I am lacking in my exam Conversely if suppose the scores are given then I can easily understand where I am lacking and will put extra efforts in those areas and will try to qualify in my exam. So according to me, Scores must be definitely given irrespective of the results.
