Yes, we all admit that winning isn't everything but according to me scores are mandatory because whether it is cricket, hockey, badminton or something else, 1 thing is similar in all of them, they all are a "game" a play of performance, and performance can only be measured in terms of scores.
Moreover, if scores were not there it would be very difficult to know where to stop. As apart from time score is the biggest factor that fixes the end point of a game.

Winning is not everything it doesn't mean that we don't require to compete or fight. Everytime we compete for something we require to put our full effort but sometimes even after giving your 100% you lose. Then we say that winning is not everything and things which you learnt from this lose is of more importance. But obviously scores or rank is necessary as it is benchmark of performance and it keeps passion in competition and keep you motivated to compete.

Hi, I partially agree with the topic that winning isn't everything, but it is something. One always has a second chance to do better and for the same score is used. It is to scale ones effort and talent. If someone loose because the other one is more talented, than he/she must use more effort next time, so to win over other's talent. It matters when someone is paid for winning or they do lots of hard work. It does not matter only when it is just for fun.

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.

Scores play the same role as the marks play in the student's life. It actually tell as our level at which position we are. Suppose if there is no score then how we got to know which rank you get in our class. This is most important because everyone can't be consider at first position to hold the first rank and for making the things interest. So that everyone give their best. For raising the competition feeling. This score system play best role.

Scores are not kept just to determine who wins. Scores can help in pushing the players to perform better. Competition motivates an individual to perform to his best potentiometer and with all spirit. Scores also make the game interesting for viewers and participants. Competition is essential to judge a person's confidence. Also, scores will tell which player performed the best. It will be a good indicator of performance.

Dear friends,
In my opinion winning is surely a good feeling a sense of achievement of one's hard work and determination and in the other hand scores reflects how much hard work we have to do and workout on our mistakes again and again. Scores makes a game or an exam more interesting, it creates competition among the players and urge them to give their 100% without scores it would be like food without salt in it.

Yes, winning isn't everything but it starts new beginning it may be in sport or job.
If a cricket team needs a huge total to chase and winning a match and all batsmen failed to score but still the match goes till the end may be a new player can show skill and talent in the match even in losing cause there is always some positive. Life is not always about winning there is more than winning.

A score is necessary because,
* It used as a measure of the performance index.
* It helps the player to compare their performance and encourages them to perform better.
* Awarding prizes and medals to the highest scorer motivates him and encourages other players.
* Prizes can be awarded only if scoring system is there.
* In the absence of scoring system no player will take the pain to perform better.

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.
