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

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.

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.

According to me Score is the measure of the capability of every person and helps to perform well. Winning is not very important but everyone plays to win. If a person fails he/she knows his/her weaknesses and work hard for the next time. Score is only the mirror which shows everyone strengths and weaknesses.

Hey, Guys.

I would like to say something about this. Sports is not about win or loose something. All you have to do is show your passion, everyone has their own style. Never hide it.

According to my point of view, winning is important because it gives so much motivation to enhance your skill but if your fail then its not your end, you should work hard again and again until you not getting success and scores is like a mirror which shows that where you stand and how much hard work is required, so I think keeping score is very crucial for players as it works like a catalyst for players.

In my opinion, winning is not everything but it is most of everything, when person strives for something with his whole heart and puts in efforts he deserves it and for that scores are must, even for the loser he gets to know where he lacks and can always improve as there is always a room for improvement.

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.

Hi friends,

It is true that winning is not everything in the game, sports spirit is the most important because playing with the true spirit is the thing that matters the most. Discussing about scores they are kept to analyze the performance of every team and every player. Scores also help in deciding which team has won and which team not because in the end there will be only one winner.

Even in a student life, this principle applies. It is not important to get first rank in the class but to analyze the performance of every student the criteria of marks is followed. Marks help in deciding which student has performed well in the class and who is not.

So, friends scores are only there to evaluate an individual and keep a check on his/her performance. In the end, there will be only one winner but everyone tries to win the match and the criteria is score.

Thank you.

The topic is if winning isn't everything then why do they keep score. The score should be kept because it shows our performance and with the help of score we can improve our future performance.

Hello guys,

If an individual or a team is on a winning streak there is no big issue. That particular individual or a team will always be motivated and he/she/they will definitely try to win the next challenge which life throws at them. They will be having high probability to win the next challenge.

But what if someone is on a losing streak, for them "winning is not everything" this acts as a motivation line. Just to ensure that after their failure they shouldn't stop themselves to participate for next challenge. This justifies that they should keep try and shouldn't lose hope. Failure in one phase doesn't mean they will be failed in next phase.

And talking about scores, score is a numeric value onto which status of an individual or a team is determined. Let's assume scores are not included or we are not aware of score, then on what bases we'll be deciding one's status that is whether he/she/they lose or won.
