One of our local teams is there and doing very well. It's fun to watch -- they're just kids but playing like pros.
It's over -- Chandler AZ won 5-1.
The morning paper had profiles of the kids and nearly all of them said their favorite subject in school is math. Such nice kids.

2. Doesn't keeping score in these types of things |
|
foster competitiveness among children and low self-esteem among the children who lose?
I see how more and more youth sports leagues no longer keep score.
