Exactly winning is not everything. But putting efforts to show your capabilities to the ultimate level defines the winner. Every field is competitive and only a person's competencies define his or her level for the particular field. So, to define a winner, organisations conduct exams to look forward to the skilful and competitive workforce. Hence, the score is a must to define a winner.

Hi guys.

At first, we need to understand that Score is like a target we need to run towards that. Winning isn't everything, but we need to keep the Score.

That tells the person where they stand in the team. In the team, the person who scored more than others should not think that he is the best or No. 1 why not someone would be there like competition.

Hello I am Shubh.

We all know that every coin has two sides either good or bad. In the same way when two persons try for the same thing then there is always a competition. Same condition is in case of sports winners get good prizes i.e. medals and looser don't get anything at that time the question comes if is it really right?

Friends, winning and loosing never matters in any case on how much did you contribute in doing that task matters so much. And if we think on other side that if winning is not everything then why there is competition. Then I wanna say that if there will be no competition then people won't give their best because people work with exception that they may get something and if there isn't any competition then no 1 will take interest hence competitions is necessary.

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.

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.

Winning or losing is not the matter, participation is important. Participatio certificate is provided to motivate the players. Score is there to know where the players are? Participating on everything is good. Winning is secondary. Just participate and success will come for you.

Hi friends.

" If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?".

My answer to this is of-course winning is not every thing the high score you got today may not be useful to got the today's cup but it will surely it will became a great inspiration for others and every one will get the result for their work so no matter on winning the current situation winning in your life is actually the great thing.

Your score may not help you for today's winning but it will definitely give you great achievement on tomorrow never give up.

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.

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.
