[quote=Anonymous]Most competitive leagues and some rec leagues use score differentials in determining rankings. Don't expect coaches or the boys to back off when that's the case. Personally, I think it's less good sportsmanship and more in line with giving everyone a trophy not to let both teams play their best. I say that as the parent of a child whose team was blown out by more than 40 points in a basketball game when they were 9 years old. What did my child's team learn? That as good as they thought they were, there were boys out there who were a lot better. Some kids found this discouraging. Others got motivated to work harder. [/quote]
