Loose example:
When you play football, you score a goal when the ball goes between the goal posts. and the team with the most goals get 3 points for the win.
At Bury we have scored points for each series round and was £100 prize to winners of series.
Both of these are the rewards for winning action..
So around easter, imagine the outcry as they announce "oh we decided not to award 3 points for winning now, you've got to come and mow the grass and paint the lines for that you turds!"
