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

Hello everyone,

Yeah, we often say winning is not everything and we really mean it too. But we are participating in a competition, the goal is to give your best, to be on the top. How can we compare ourselves with our competitors without maintaining score? This is the one thing that keeps us pushing forward to work harder, to play more dedicated if we score lower than our opponents. The aim is to give your best shot and to get better and better every time. The moment you stop counting scores you are gonna lose your interest to play. So after everything winning doesn't matter.

Games and sports are loved for their competition entertainment zeal and teamwork. A country like India where cricket is part of day to day life of people if scores will not be kept then there will be any competition as players will know that they are not going to loose team spirit will vanish there will be no entertainment and zeal as there will be no hustle and games and sports will lose their fan following and charm.

However, this is also right that winning isn't everything because by participating you at least learn every time. So scores do matter.

Thank you.

Hi, everyone,
The score is the thing which can show the capabilities of teams which are fighting for the win. Scoring is like a scale to measure the capabilities.

Hi everyone,

In my opinion winning is not everything and scoring criteria should be kept because If people don't keep the score then there will be no race and no excitement. And If scores are kept we can understand what level of expertise they reached. So Score is importance for the individual.

Hello everyone,

What my opinion here is scores are the points which we are getting in any competition. As far as competition is concern competitions are there to judge the one's ability that how can he or she handle's the situation in the given sort of time.

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.

Thanks.

They keep score to evaluate the performance of the people.

I think that winning is important but only up to the point where you are satisfied with your win but not angry or too upset with your loss. As for keeping score, it's a way of determining how you need to improve and how you're already doing. Before even trying to win you need to know you strengths and weaknesses. Also, if you work hard, you are obviously more happy with your win. Even, so dwelling too much on a bad score prevents you from moving forward and trying harder.

I agree that yeah score is not at all important in the game, but can anyone please tell me how will you evaluate the performance of the players. I think it's quite impossible without score. It is only the score which enables the players to watch their performance. I think game without score is same as ship without radar.

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.

It is important (I mean score) because it tracks us where we are, and what should we do in order to move forward.

We can compare it with our education as here knowledge is important than why we keep examinations. Here come the point, that is to track ourselves and to think where we are lagging and what measure we should take in order to reach where we want to.

The win comes with an accuracy of multiple factors and these factors are dependent on what is our score.
