Is anyone watching the Little League World Series playoffs?

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.

Don't worry, we can lose a game and still win it all. Go Naamans!!!

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.
