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

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.

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.

They keep score to evaluate the performance of the people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello, Everyone.

"Sports without Competition is like a Meal without Spices".

1) Keeping scores raises the competitive spirit between the participants so they are pushed to perform better.

2) Any sport is nothing without the viewers, Maintaining scores make the game interesting for the participants as well as the viewers.

3) Scoring acts as a catalyst in improving the standard of sports.

Although scoring and competition are essential ingredients for any sports but I will conclude that "Winning in a game is not everything" but "Wanting to win" is the most important thing in any sport.

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.
