It's not unusual for American youth soccer leagues to officially not keep score. My nephew's league does that. Of course, that doesn't keep the parents and kids from keeping score unofficially. But at least they don't post the scores in the paper, as they do in the UK. There one newspaper reported on a 29-0 drubbing in a junior league match in Sheffield. As a result, the local newspaper is banned from reporting on any further matches. It violated, it seems, the rule to not publish scores worse than 14-0. As if 29-0 is really worse than 14-0?
