We need to understand the term Score. Scores are there as a measure of your performance. If there are no scores, we can't measure our performance. Hence evaluation becomes difficult. Winning is nothing but the outcome of the game. Whoever performs well, wins. Hence, the losing team has a chance to check, what are their lacking points. And based on that, they can improve next time. After all, winning is also necessary to boost your confidence and to let you know that you are doing well and your efforts are going in right direction. Thanks.

Dear friends,
Winning is not everything and why scoring is needed.
According to me winning is not everything because every person gives his 100%. They always play like a competitor and the only one person can win. If we are assuming wining is everything it will hard to respect failure.
A score is also a important factor of any competition because it give you performance statistics. It gives your strength and area of improvements. Score brings positive attitude and caliber to do things next time. Score is used to do things confidently.

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 every one. I am Shashi. In my opinion in this competitive world we need scores to differentiate between two or more teams. If anyone play with enthusiasm and spirit he will certainly win the game. In every aspect of life we need scores go ahead. One more important thing it's your score which defines you that what you are not look or personality. Scores tell others that how consistent you are. If any person or team win any match by cheating or luck it's their score in their past matches put them on backfoot.

A game is compared to life a win is set as goal.
If we want to win you have to score, similarly if we want to reach our goal in life we have to plan ourselves and try to achieve it, no matter if we failed we have to be confident and should progress with every step to reach goal.
This matches with winning in game that whether we win the game or not is not important we have to make sure not to repeat mistakes and keep progressing with every attempt to score runs.
So that one or other day we can finally win.

Not everyone can win but learn for sure. And it has seen people with clear objective evolve faster. Similarly if we scale one's win with scores there nothing wrong in it. Definitely one has to score highest to be a winner but it doesn't mean others don't have the skills/knowledge.
Yes, it may be that runner-up lose somewhere but it doesn't mean that can't bridge the gap. They are lacking somewhere which winner could lead. You do not need to be upset every time you lose but you should find the remedy.

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.

Hello everyone,
My opinion on this is I would like to quote that winning and losing is just part of life but not final of course after winning you feel better, gain confidence and are worthy of your efforts.
Keeping track of scores is also important as it tests how much of your capabilities can be compared with your opponent and where you stand against your competitors so its good to know and can improve yourself based on performance which is great for your growth.

Yes, winning is not everything. But it is a step towards achieving your goal. Keeping no score is equivalent to being stuck in one place. If you want to move forward you need to know where you stand and where you want to stand. I am not saying losing is a step backward, in fact, thats what helps you understand your position and help you overcome your flaws. Winning is the reward you get for doing so. So, while the score is important, do not let it get to your head.

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.
