My dear brother, who has 2 daughters that were in that Youth Soccer League, (that does not keep score), explained to me in a condescending tone that, "Without scores, everyone can be a winner".
I countered that "Without scores everyone is a loser".
I really hate that crap.
Not the same thing. I know whether I've won or lost regardless of the 'points'. You get in a cartoon dogfight, and you shoot the other guy down, you know you won. If you get shot down. You know you lost. Needing points or rank as a reward seems silly to me. The "competition" ie; the fight is all I need to keep coming back.
If folks need more then that, so be it.
