Score (sport)

For example, in association football and hockey goals are achieved by putting the ball in the opposing team's net.

Most sports have time limits, which means point-based victories are usually the result of obtaining more points than one's opponent.

In boxing and mixed martial arts, a match runs an agreed number of timed rounds, each scored at its conclusion with a mandatory 10 points for winning and 9 or fewer for losing, depending on relative inefficiency.

Live scores is a type of service offered by many sports-related websites and broadcasters as well as online sports betting operators.

The idea of live scores is to provide real time information about sports results from various disciplines.

Some sites provide additional information, such as a player list, card details, substitution and an online chat where sports fans can gather and discuss the current event.

Types of scoring include; time duration, physical measurement such as distance, faults made, or rallies won.
