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.

See previous post :)

I want to win every 'fight' I get into in AH.  Again, I don't need any artificial number or attaboy to get me to go into a fight.  The win is the fight.

Come to think of it, in a ball game you need points to win.  I don't recall a dogfight ever where you got points prior to winning or losing.
