In North American sport, "increase score" occurs as the team continues to play in such a way as to score additional points after the outcome of the game is no longer questioned and the team is guaranteed to win. In the United States and Canada, it is considered bad sportsmanship to "raise the score" in most circumstances (exceptions listed below). Alternative sports include attracting most of the team's first string players, or playing dramas designed to spend time ( for example. , in American soccer, kneeling or running the ball in the middle). Its terms and concepts are not common elsewhere in the world. Mercy rules are used in many amateur sports, which end the game when the score reaches a certain point.
Negative consequences can occur from increased score. These include early game player injuries, lack of experience for non-early players in teams, and motivate future teams of opponents. Players on the losing side who feel underestimated may decide to vent their frustrations through violent or unsportsmanlike games, which can cause injury and fights, and even post-match penalties such as fines or suspensions of future games.
Conversely, there are arguments in favor of running a score. This includes catering for polls, gain additional experience, and prevent comeback.

Description
Running a score occurs as the team continues to play in such a way as to score additional points after the result is no longer questioned and the team is guaranteed to win. In the United States and Canada, it is considered bad sportsmanship to do so in most circumstances (exceptions listed below). Its terms and concepts are not common elsewhere in the world. Alternative sports include attracting most of the string players or play early-game teams that are designed to spend time ( for example. , in American soccer, kneeling or running the ball in the middle). Mercy rules are used in many amateur sports, which end the game when the score reaches a certain point.

Consequences
The most common negative consequences of running a score are injuries to early game players, lack of experience for non-starting players in teams (in cases where beginners are left in the game well after the result is certain), and motivating opposing teams in the future front. Players on the losing side who feel underestimated may decide to vent their frustrations through violent or unsportsmanlike games, which can cause injury and fights, and even post-match penalties such as fines or suspensions of future games.
Running scores is considered a bad sportivity by many fans, players, and coaches but with differing opinions how big the insult is. Accusations of bad sportifitas often appear as soon as the team scores a few times towards the end of a one-sided game.
Justifications
Benefits in BCS and other polls
Some sports have used polls to determine matches and championships. Certain coaches are notable for getting scores to impress coaches and sports writers who choose in the Amway Coaches Poll or AP Poll. It is a common assumption that some poll voters only see box scores before punching their voices. When the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is in college football, the vote has a huge impact on who goes to the BCS match, including the national championships. Just by watching a game or game recording (or with careful box-score supervision) can the coach determine whether the score of 49-21 is caused by a one-sided game or a winning team that tries to make the score look even more impressive when the game's results are fixed. The BCS computer initially included the margin of victory as a component, but the BCS removed the element after seeing a large increase in the team running the score.
From the 2014 season, BCS was replaced by College Football Playoff (CFP). Polls do not play a role in determining CFP participants; instead, these teams are selected by a selection committee similar to those used in the NCAA basketball tournament selection process.
Practice
Some team fans who coaches often raise scores may also note that running a score has its advantages. Although many coaches who run scores do so only with their first string player, coaches who use third and fourth string players can give them an important in-game experience if they allow them to do more than just kneel in football or run the ball in the middle. When they are not allowed to create passing and running dramas that can be made by first and second stringer, their skills may not develop quickly.
Or, in a college sport with many players from successful teams who have hopes of becoming professionals, running scores gives players a chance to improve their stats and to show off skills not allowed by conventional offenses. Although it may be seen as bad sportsmanship, as there is no guarantee that every player will be selected for a professional league, any chance to improve the stats and impress the scouts can be seen as improving the professional prospects of the players.
Gameplay
It also argues that it can be used as a precaution to prevent a big comeback. In 2006, Penn State lost to Notre Dame 41-17. Notre Dame justified running a score because Penn State is known for its late comeback. Supporters who preventatively run the score will often point to games like Insight Bowl 2006 in which Minnesota blew a 38-7 advantage in the third quarter, to finally lose 44-41 for Texas Tech.
In addition, many leagues use a tiebreak if two or more teams are tied in the standings; one common tiebreak when several teams are involved (such as when three teams are tied, without teams beating them both) are "differential points" (calculated as the difference between the number of team score points vs the number indicating the team allows against a common opponent); "running scores" can help their chances of winning positions and stopping other teams from scores too (although some leagues fight it by placing a hat on the number of points that can be counted in point differentials, like no more than 14, then, even if the score is 49-0, only 14 points will be counted in the tiebreaker).
Other justifications
A commonly used argument for winning scores is the belief that it is not the coach's fault or the winning team if a weak team is unable to stop the giant powerful attack. Florida State coach Bobby Bowden argued that it was not his job to call a drama inconsistent with his regular offense. He feels that further scoring prevention is the defense responsibility of the opposing team. Also, some coaches advocate making scores to make other points, such as showing rejection of comments made by opposing players, coaches, etc., in the media.
Generating scores in professional leagues generally results in much less controversy and indeed the term is much less common. While there are many reasons to run out of time, there is no reason not to score more points if the situation allows. Because all teams are professionals, even those who are considered underdogs have the potential to score points quickly if they are given a chance. Even teams with dominant leaders have a strong interest in maintaining possession to run down hours, which often puts them in position to score more points.
At all levels of the game, it is generally accepted that a player or team close to breaking a significant record can increase the score without being seen as being rude. In fact, many offensive records almost necessitated the score to rise to be in conflict as a result of records set in an era in which the league is less balanced, seasons have different lengths, or rules are substantially different.
Example in college football
Florida
With Alltel Stadium (now EverBank Field) still under construction in 1995, Florida visited Georgia in Athens, Georgia at Sanford Stadium for the first time in 63 years. With a 38-17 advantage entering the fourth quarter on a beleaguered Bulldogs, Florida head coach Steve Spurrier decided to raise the score to "hang half a hundred" on the scoreboard to embarrass their opponent on the pitch of their home, something that has never happened before. has been done before. His team succeeded with a final score of 52-17. The record still survives to this day as the most points ever printed by the opposing team at Sanford Stadium.
Georgia Tech
On October 7, 1916, Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland College Bulldogs 222-0. Cumberland had previously disbanded their football team, but quickly formed a scrub team when facing fines if they refused to play. Georgia Tech scored 63 points in the first quarter and 63 points in the second quarter, then 54 points in the third quarter and 42 points in the fourth quarter. None of the teams got their first win during the game, because Georgia Tech's defense prevented Cumberland from progressing for the first drop and Georgia Tech scored in each set of declines. Georgia Tech won under the guidance of John Heisman, who wanted revenge after an embarrassing 22-0 loss at the start of the year to the Cumberland baseball team that he suspected had used professional players as a student.
Houston
On November 23, 1968, the University of Houston defeated the University of Tulsa 100-6. Although they had a 24-0 lead at half-time, Cougars scored 11 goals in the second half for a staggering 94 points blast. They came again in 1989, directing the Southern Methodist team who just came out of the so-called death penalty with a score of 95-21.
Houston coach John Jenkins is known for leaving his starter to move their stats during an explosive match but against high school he did not do it. In 1990, Houston defeated Eastern Washington University 84-21 to help QB David Klingler set a NCAA 54 touchdown record in 11 games that season. The following year, 1991, they will blow Louisiana Tech University 73-3 in the opening game of the season.
Miami
On November 30, 1985, the University of Miami Hurricanes played the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the last game of Gerry Faust as head coach of Notre Dame. The Hurricanes, led by Jimmy Johnson, are trying to impress the survey institute because they are ranked fourth in the poll before the game. The Hurricanes called a fake punt on fourth and 11th in the fourth quarter with a 44-7 lead, scoring from a blocked shot with less than six minutes left, and then winning 58-7. Miami is rewarded in an AP poll as it passes idle Iowa to reach No. 3 and organize a possible national championship with a victory over Tennessee at Sugar Bowl. Receiving criticism after the game, Johnson replied, "No one apologized to me when Oklahoma did it", a reference to a 1980 defeat with a score of 63-14 when Johnson was head coach at Oklahoma State University. Miami will continue to lose to Tennessee, 35-7, at Sugar Bowl 1986.
Notre Dame
Notre Dame destroyed Georgia Tech 69-14 in 1977. The Fighting Irish led 21-7 at half time but scored 21 points in the third quarter and 27 in the fourth quarter. Only an extra point is missed after the eighth touchdown of the ND which makes Ireland from scoring 70 points for the first time since 1932 and only for the second time in the history of the Notre Dame Stadium. After the ND led 62-7, Georgia Tech scored the only points of the second half on kickoff return for touchdown by Eddie Lee Ivery; Ireland would not give up another kickoff for touchdown until 21 years later, against Kevin Faulk and LSU in 1998. The blast was a reply to an angry 23-14 victory by Georgia Tech over Notre Dame in 1976, after which Yellow Jacket players were cited as mocking Irish resistance as fat and slow. There is also bad blood between ND Dan Devine coach and GT coach Pepper Rodgers, who came from a time when they trained their arch-rivals Missouri and Kansas respectively; Devine's Tigers have molested Rodgers's Jayhawks 69-21 in the final of the 1969 season at Lawrence. 1977 Georgia Tech's humiliation did not affect the Notre Dame poll; they remain No. 5 in an AP poll - but the struggling Irish won their remaining game to finish 11-1 and win the 1977 national championship.
Notre Dame wiped out Boston College 54-7 in a 1992 game where Ireland's coach Lou Holtz was called a fake punt in the first series of the third quarter, with his team already having an enormous 37-0 advantage (though technically insurmountable). A year later, Boston College was stunned then-No. 1 Notre Dame 41-39 in the last regular season game of the year, beating Irish Fighting to No. 4 in an AP poll and paving the way for Florida State to be selected as the national champion.
While playing at longtime rival Stanford in 2003, Notre Dame head coach Tyrone Willingham allowed his players to call a fake kick in response to the reading of the block while the Irishman led 57-7 at the end of the fourth quarter. Willingham was previously the head coach at Stanford.
Ohio State
In 1968, Ohio State Buckeyes, en route to the national championship, defeated their bitter rival, the Michigan wolf, 50-14. At the end of the game, Ohio State held a 44-14 advantage and scored one last goal. Instead of taking a more general extra point kick, Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes opted for a two-point conversion, which did not work. When asked later why he went for two points, Hayes said, "Because I can not go for three!", Although the player has commented that there is some kind of confusion on the extra kick point, and Hayes just covered for his players..
Oklahoma
On November 8, 2003, the Oklahoma Sooners showed little compassion for Texas A & amp; M Aggies, sailed into a 49-0 lead in the first half. Oklahoma's head coach Bob Stoops denied that his score improved as the second striker came out in the 3rd quarter and collected 28 more points to finish with a final 77-0 and 639 yards total score. This is the worst defeat in Texas A & amp; M. In the Stoops defense, the coaches agreed to run the clock for most of the second half and throughout the fourth quarter. Also, at one point in the fourth quarter, Oklahoma had the first goal and goal inside A & amp; M five-yard line with chances to score over 80 points, but Stoops called the fourth consecutive run down to the middle to prevent another score.
Oklahoma State
In their 2012 season opener, Oklahoma State Cowboys defeated Savannah State Tigers 84-0. To maintain a one-sided result, temporary defense coordinator Glenn Spencer claimed that the closure was a tribute to the full-time team's defense coordinator, Bill Young, who recently underwent anonymous medical procedures. It ended as the most oblique victory for OSU since the 117-0 defeat of Southwestern Oklahoma in 1916 and Savannah's worst state loss since a 98-0 defeat against Bethune-Cookman in 1953, the season when the Tigers Outscored 444-6.
Penn State
Although long-time head coach Penn State Joe Paterno was considered by some as a man who did all he could to avoid running a score, as in a 63-10 victory over Illinois in 2005 in which Penn State held a 56-3 first-half lead, Pitt reporters partisan, Beano Cook, claiming that he made an exception in 1985 against a contender that Pitt despised. The match went well with the score 31-0 when the assistants called the first strings off the pitch. Paterno should immediately order them back, saying, "I want to bury Pitt." The Penn State team of 1991 Paterno is often accused of running it in Cincinnati 81-0, but this is disputed by Bearcat coach Tim Murphy, who says, "I think Joe is a class man and I do not believe he will do it in a hundred years," Murphy said. "We made a lot of mistakes even for the first game of the season and that's my fault I'm embarrassed, not Joe Paterno."
Stanford
In the early 2000s, Stanford was regarded as the bottom dweller of Pac-10, while rivals in USC were named "Team of the Decade" by CBSSports.com and Football.com, and "Program of the Decade" by SI.com. However, following the arrival of head coach Jim Harbaugh to The Farm in 2007 and breaking Stanford's record breaking violation of the falling Trojans, the Stanford-USC rivalry began to increase in intensity and interest. During their 2009 meeting, Stanford destroyed USC in the Coliseum, leading 42-21 in the middle of the fourth quarter. After a touchdown run by Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart's future to bring the score to 48-21, Harbaugh continues Cardinal's offense in the field to try a two-point conversion. When asked what was happening, Harbaugh said, "I want to give fifty to these bastards." The two-point conversion did not work, but Stanford then scored in the final minutes of the game, and eventually won 55-21 after scoring 27 points in the fourth quarter. It was the worst home loss in USC history at the time, and was the biggest margin of USC's defeat in the Stanford-USC rivalry.
After the game, USC chief coach Pete Carroll approached Harbaugh and, looking angry, asked, "What's your business? Are you okay?" Harbaugh replied, "I'm fine. What's your business?" Currently (in addition to Stanford annoyance of # 1 USC in 2007) is seen by many as the turning point of the Stanford Cardinal football program, which since 2010 has become one of the most promising programs in college football.
Texas A & amp; M
In the same 2003 season that Oklahoma beat Texas A & amp; M 77-0 (see above), A & amp; M himself scored in a 73-10 home game against Baylor University. A & amp; M naturally re-matches a year later as a big favorite, and the match should be played a week before the main rematch with Oklahoma. Probably too busy waiting for their moment of revenge against Sooners next week, Texas A & amp; M surrendered to the Baylor team they haunted the previous year. Since Bear only managed to win three wins throughout the 2004 season, Baylor's 35-34 team victory free of the revenge team may be the biggest disappointment of the year. (Texas A & M eventually lost to Oklahoma again the following week, too, although this time only with a score of 42-35.)
Washington and Oregon
The biggest margin of the turnaround victory in Division I-A football in the following years belonged to the University of Washington and the University of Oregon and showcased two main examples of running a score. In 1973, Oregon ran the score at home, burying Washington 58-0. A year later, Washington responded with a 66-0 defeat of Oregon back home in Seattle. In the game, early quarterback Washington, Chris Rowland played longer than necessary and suffered a season-ending knee injury. Rowland recalls that Washington's head coach, Jim Owens "wanted me in and said, 'We will beat these people more than they beat us.' He [Owens] apologized to me because it was personal for him. "
BYU and Utah
The history of BYU-Utah football matches is full of oblique games on both sides. During the early days of the BYU football program, Cougars will often be detonated by Utah's physically superior teams. At one point, between 1931-1937, Utah defeated the BYU with a combined score of 200-6. The tide changed with BYU employing LaVell Edwards, which brought the program's credibility (not to mention the national championship consensus in 1984). During Edwards's years, Cougars was regularly accused of running a merciless score against Utes. The years in which this is particularly true include 1977 (38-8), 1980 (56-6), 1981 (56-28), 1983 (55-7), and 1989 (70-31). Typically, this practice was designed by Edwards's assistants, such as Douglas Scovil's offensive touchdown coordinator. Perhaps the most notable example of Scovil's propensity to judgment at any time is the 1977 match between the two teams. BYU Quarterback Marc Wilson is in the midst of a spectacular sophomore season, and Utah struggles to defend himself. During the fourth quarter, after passing 555 yards and four scores, Wilson was provided with his team leading 31-8. However, a member of the stadium press contingent admitted that Wilson had left the game just six yards off the record of the NCAA single game. Scovil was notified, and immediately sent Wilson back to the game; quarterback immediately threw an eight-yard pass that gave him a note. Scovil indicated for him to stay inside the game, and he then threw a fifth goal, giving BYU a 38-8 victory. Utah Wayne Howard's head coach was very angry, and the incident helped fuel the toxic competition that continues.
In other sports
Australian football rules
There is no negative stigma associated with increasing scores in Australian rule football. The only tiebreak used in most leagues is the ratio of points to against points, so the system encourages teams to record big scores and win margins, and this often happens when there is a difference between capabilities. This happens at all levels of the game, especially in the metropolitan and state leagues, where weaker teams can often be defeated by as much as 200 points. Significantly, the sport has no clear way to turn off the match quickly and painlessly, and wasting time is equally unpopular with fans and is discouraged by the law of the game.
Baseball
In baseball, an unwritten male agreement between teams is said to prevent teams from sacrificing bunting, stealing bases, or other small ball tactics while leading by a big margin at the end of the game, even though the losing team can theoretically return from any deficit. for win. The guards did not specifically try to make the outs (eg by swinging on the field without intending to attack them) because this would insult the opposing team, break the spirit of the game, and injure their own average blow.
Amateur, high school and international baseball games often have a rule of mercy so the game ends faster when the prospect is considered insurmountable (eg 10 times after 5 innings). However, as the home team always get one last hitter if they are left behind, the visitors can in theory score run unlimited at the top of the innings.
Basketball
In basketball, some excellent team coaches will remain at their start in the final stages of a very bad one-sided game (for example, less than ten minutes left in the second half of a college game, or deep into the fourth quarter of a high school game or NBA). Players can be asked to continue to aggressively apply full-court pressure (to steal the ball), block shots, break away for slam dunks, or try a three-point basket and shots that delight other fans.
A team that is left with undefined margins can sometimes extend the game by dropping an opponent on each possession, in an effort to extend the chances to get back - though the team that uses this strategy often does so only when the game is still somewhat competitive. However, this strategy does not always work, especially if dirty players or teams can connect with free throws.
In cases where the score is very skewed at the beginning of the game, the most common option is to just "play it" as if it were a struggle, by trying to take the best chance and also trying some kind of defense (no taboo on shooting and games that are fun for fans). This is usually referred to as "garbage time", and while generally favored for lack of excitement it is considered the best way to end a game that is completely uncompetitive with the minimal amount of pride lost by the weaker party.
Going score was a key element in the Knicks-Nuggets fight on December 16, 2006, when New York coach Isiah Thomas accused Denver coach George Karl for implementing it at the end of the game. Karl defended himself by quoting many games where his team lost a big lead late.
Former Oklahoma Sooners basketball coach Billy Tubbs, often accused of scoring against lower rivals. On November 29, 1989, the Tubbs team went further with a score of 97 points in the first half of the game against the U.S. International. Oklahoma won the game in the 173-101 defeat. Asking repeatedly about running a score against an opponent, Tubbs once famously replied, "If they do not like it, they should get better."
Sometimes, the team will raise the score because of the crowd's encouragement. Mass encouragement can occur whether there are physical incentives involved or not. Often, the crowd will start shouting "X more points" near the end of the game, where X is the number of points needed to reach 100. This usually happens when the team is in 5 points to reach the 100 points mark. Also, crowd impulse can occur as a result of promotion for ticket holders. In Bradley's home game against Wichita State, coach Jim Les put some reserve players during the last 1-2 minutes of the game after scoring 62-50. During the final mastery, the crowd began shouting "Shoot firing shoot" because season ticket holders will get a one-get-one-free rib-eye steak dinner at a local restaurant if the score reaches 63. One of Bradley's players launches buzzer-beat 3 because of the audience's encouragement and entry, making the final score 65-50. Similarly, during the 2014 game against Southern Virginia, BYU basketball led 98-48 with hours running down. Responding to the cries of "One Hundred!" from the student section, Cougar's reserve guard Jake Toolson launched a three-pointer in the end time. That's good, make the final score 101-48. Although BYU fans and benches reacted with joy, Cougar's head coach, Dave Rose, was annoyed with the incident. Toolson himself was personally reprimanded.
Curling
One of the unique curling rules allows a losing team to recognize a match at any time, thus preventing a burst from occurring. In fact, it is sometimes considered unsporting for a team that loses badly to not admit. For some major events, the game must play a certain final amount to be considered complete. In protest, some teams that had previously conceded a match may not take the game seriously at the time.
Before the team is allowed to follow the match long before the normal end of the game, the explosion is common.
Ice Hockey
In ice hockey, complaints are quite rare, for the simple reason that unless there is a huge skill difference, the team generally does not score in large numbers as per the opponent's wishes. The rules of compassion may also apply to the pre-secondary level, where such differences may act as a matter of course. Another tactic could be the first team coach to tell his team that everyone should touch the chip before a shot is taken.
Associate Football
In professional football, the concept of "running the score" is almost unheard of; many league competitions use goal difference or the average goal as a tiebreak, meaning there is enough incentive to win as wide a margin of victory as possible. The method produced a world record for the number of goals scored in one game, in the 2001 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Australia and American Samoa, where the Australian team scored 31 goals.
SMA
The great talent difference between opponents is more common in high school sports than in college or professional sports. This is especially true in district competitions (where schools of the same size are grouped by geography) and single elimination tournaments in which all schools (regardless of note) participate. It is even more prevalent in Kentucky high school basketball, where single state championships for each sex are performed; this in turn means that district and regional competitions, and even state tournaments, will feature games involving very different schools in enrollment. Often, a country's athletic association will equip a very superior team (who has been unbeaten or has very little loss) against a very weak team in the first half (to avoid an early round match against top seeds, hoping to leave the game for the next round) , and the disparity of talent between the two teams quickly became apparent. (Kentucky never won the tournament of his country, using a blind pull to fill the brackets.)
One notable example of the many incidents that occur every year across the United States is the Walkerville, Michigan High School (98th) victory 115-2 in the upper state of Hart, Michigan Lakeshore Academy (registration 49) in the opening of Class D districts during the Basketball Tournament State 2004 Michigan High School Girls.
Given similar incidents, coaches are often accused of running scores and taking the opportunity to embarrass and humiliate a weak opponent. Sometimes, the big margin of victory happens in games where the winning school reserves (second string players and university junior players) play a good part of the contest and are only able to score at will against weaker opposition. However, when the star player is left in for a record, as happened with the 113-point Epiphanny Prince basketball game in 2006, critics usually follow.
Since 2006, the Conference of Interscholastic Athletic Connecticut has considered every winning limit of 50 points or more in soccer matches to be unsportsmanlike. If this happens, the winning team coach will be suspended for the team's next match. This was in response to one coach, Jack Cochran from New London, whose team won it four times during 2005. During the 2005 season, New York High School Jack Cochran football team, the highest scoring offense in CT, closed 16- 0 by Windham High School Whippets. In response to being closed for the first time in his career, the following week Cochran got his team to a 90-0 score against a much weaker opponent. The victory triggered a fight and led to allegations of irregular behavior against a losing coach. Cochran coach defended himself by saying that in a 90-0 blast, he has been trying to get both teams and timekeepers to run the clock continuously, as was done in Iowa when one team had a 35 lead lead. CIAC considers similar proposals but is rejected as some members feel it will cut back playing time.
During the Kansas State State High School playoff play 2007, Smith Center High School set the National Federation of State High School Association records by scoring 72 points in the first quarter vs. Plainville. Coincidentally, the two same teams played each other just 25 days before the playoff contest, with Smith Center winning 72-0. During regular season matches, a continuous hour is triggered when the differential score reaches 40 points, but there is no such provision in the rules at the time for use in the playoffs. Administrator Smith Center contacts the KSHSAA office and gets permission to use the running clock starting with the second quarter of the second game with Plainville. (In order to avoid recurrence, in 2011 KSHSAA adopted a modified mercy rule for the playoffs, stating every 11-person postseason contest before the championship game will use a running hour in the second half after the margin reaches 45 points.)
In October 2008, Napoli High School defeated Estero High School, Florida 91-0. Napoli are the reigning champions of the Florida Class 3rd Class Athletics Association. Regardless of the allegations that Napoli ran the score, Coach Bill Kramer kept most of his star players out of the game for the most part, if not all the games. Some Napoli parents consequently call coaches to complain that their son is not playing.
Another 91-0 score, this time in 2013 between two Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex programs, state-level power plants (and ultimately Class II Class AAAA Class UIL champions) Aledo High School and West Bukit High School without a win in Fort Worth , leading to Western Hills Parents filing allegations of bullying against Aledo football coach.
In January 13, 2009, the women's basketball game, the Dallas Covenant School defeated the Dallas Academy 100-0.
In 1926, Haven High School of Haven, Kansas beat Sylvia High School with a score of 256-0, the highest score recorded in American football history.
On January 5, 2015, San Bernardino Arroyo Valley (CA) High School Girls' basketball team wiped out Bloomington High with a score of 161-2. Ten days later, San Bernardino stopped coach Michael Anderson for two games.
American professional football
Score scores are rarely done by teams in the National Football League (NFL) and other professional American football leagues. The main reason is that beginner players and coaches are paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars each year, which is influenced by how players and teams perform during the season. Any attempt to raise the score increases the risk of losing key players for injuries that could affect the team's chances for the rest of the season. So, if a team decides to save their stars during the blast, it's usually seen by the opponent as an insult. Another factor is that the parity that the pay cap has been brought to the NFL in the 1990s has equalized the competition somewhat, with the difference of less talent between the best and worst teams compared to the past. It is much more difficult to raise the score to embarrass (50 points) margin in a modern game at pro level. The biggest winning margin at professional level took place in the 1940 NFL Championship Game won by Chicago Bears over the Washington Redskins 73-0. In 1976, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Atlanta Falcons 59-0, a margin matched in 2009 when the New England Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans in the snow of New England. Recently, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 62-7 on October 23, 2011, and Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 58-0 on December 9, 2012.
One exception to this general rule is the NFL tiebreak rules used to determine which teams qualify for the playoffs if they are tied in the standings. One criterion for breaking relationships is to compare the number of points printed by each team during the regular season. Under this scenario, running a score in the final game of the season is not considered a poor sportsman because there are benefits to having a higher score. This scenario almost happened during the 1999 season when the Green Bay Packers might be able to make the playoffs if the Dallas Cowboys had lost and they had scored enough points against the Arizona Cardinals in their last regular season game to surpass the Carolina Panthers in total points scored. They eventually defeated the Cardinals 49-24 (not a huge margin of victory by football standards), but Dallas then beat the Giants on that day to get the last playoff spot and beat the Packers out of the playoff picture.
The charge ran an unusual score in the NFL (except in the race playoffs), but was unheard of. One of the most famous happened on November 17, 1985, when the New York Jets defeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers 62-28 in regular season matches. The two teams last met in the last game of the previous season, when the somewhat controversial Tampa Bay seemed to stop playing defensive and let the Jets score in the final of a 41-21 victory in a clear attempt to get the ball back so that running back James Wilder could try to break the NFL record for some big yards of soccer practice in one season. Commentators wondered whether Jets' big win was a way of revenge against Bucs for bad sportsmanship, but the Jets and their coach denied that there was a conscious effort to run the score. The Jets denial may apply because Bucs coach John McKay, who allowed the Jets to score at the end of the 1984 contest, retired after the '84 season and has been replaced by Leeman Bennett, and also the Jets were 11-5 in 1985 and reached the playoffs while Tampa Bay was in the midst of back-to-back 2-14 seasons in 1985 and '86.
A Monday Night Football match in 1996 between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys ended in a 21-6 Cowboy victory and several complaints by Green Bay players that the home side's final goal was an insult to them, as Dallas had a ball deep inside the Green Region Bay with the game well in hand as it ends, but chooses to score more points anyway. However, the last field goal is not an attempt to embarrass, but on record - Cowboys coach Barry Switzer wants to give goalkeeper Chris Boniol the chance to tie the NFL record for most of the field targets in a game (seven). Similarly, during the 2011 Saints 62-7 victory, while the margin of victory was huge and the game was almost unquestionably part-time, Drew Brees had been thrown out below the average number of yards. Keeping him and his first offense play contributed to solving the single season all the time through record at the end of the year, and edging out Tom Brady who also broke the old record of the season. While it may be regarded as an insult for opponents for coaches to push records, they are a mark in history for players and coaches and it is generally accepted among critics that pursuing records is not a bad sport or running score per se.
While some teams that regularly score enormous amounts of points are sometimes criticized for running scores, it can still be debated at what point the extra score points into scores. In light of recent comebacks such as The Miracle at New Meadowlands and Super Bowl LI, and how quickly points can be accumulated (through the return of interception, onside kicks and back kicks), it is understandable that coaches are cautious to be overconfident in their offenses and they are usually would rather run out of time than risk an unlikely but possibly endless comeback perhaps at the end of the game, especially for teams that have a stronger offense but weaker defenses.
During the 2011 season, three teams with the best offense (New England, Green Bay and New Orleans) also had the worst defense, which explains why none of the teams are happy to run out of time, instead of always pressing for points. The current salary cap rule means that it is almost impossible for teams to have extraordinary offenses and defenses over a period of time, especially since cheaper players who play very well in a year are likely to be more expensive next year. Such tactics are generally called 'Keep their feet on the gas', and are generally disliked in the NFL.
The most frightening famous case of running scores in professional football is believed to have taken place in 1904, when the Massillon Tigers, in an era of pre-forward passes, scored 26 goals and 18 extra points to collect a 148-0 score against teams from Marion, Ohio. (Touchdown only counts five points in this era.) Similar defeats occurred in 1903 when Watertown Red & amp; Black eliminated opponents from Cortland, New York with a score of 142-0. Under the current rules, the team that has scored received the match instead of kicking it as it is now; However, it's much easier and more common to do an onside kick in this era, and as far as it is known, neither Marion nor Cortland did not try it. Thus, both teams never touched the ball after receiving the opening ownership. The third highest total in the history of professional football is much newer. In 2011, indoor soccer team Erie Explosion recorded 138 points in a shutout victory over Fayetteville Force. After beating Force 42-0 in the first quarter alone thanks to three Force pick-sixes (including those reached laterally), the Blast continues to pile up, offering free tickets if the Explosion reaches 100 points; when the players and head coach Shawn Liotta were told that the indoor record was 133 points (they were not informed of the overall pro record), they decided to try to solve it, a feat they had achieved.
In popular culture
The Funky Winkerbean comic strip has an all-weekend storyline in September 2015 in which Westview High School football coach Bull Bushka was brought before the school board after parents from high school opposed complaining that Bushka had been with deliberately raising the score; Westview, often portrayed humorously as a loser in a one-sided game, has beaten his rival, Optimism High 93-0. Bushka, however, was quickly justified when he mentioned that he had pulled his start, there were hours continuous throughout the second half and he was not running a passing game.
