My guess would be that it is there to keep track of the best players, give you a goal to work towards, a reference point to help you figure out just how high your score really is, and also to give the gamers a feeling of satisfaction. But that's just my guess. :)
There are over 50 trophies for scoring very high on games.
High Noon won the Oscar for Music - Scoring - in 1952.
In cribbage, it is better to have aces low for scoring purposes.
There is no certain high scoring judo throw. The type of throw does not give you the points but how the throw is done is what gets you points. To get a high score you need good delivery, power, and sometimes air (how high he goes).
The "old" volleyball scoring system is know as "side-out" scoring which essentially means that you can only score a point when you are serving. So for example, if the opposing team serves at you, and you win that play, then it is called a side-out, and it is your turn to serve for the next point. No points are given for side-outs, which lead to some very lengthy games (if teams are just siding-out back and forth). Side-out scoring was played to 15, win by 2. The "new" scoring system is known as "rally" scoring which means that points are given on every play, even side-outs. The change to this type of scoring was an attempt to speed up games, as well as give more weight to mistakes made by players. In almost all types of volleyball today (high school, club, international, and now even college volleyball), games are played to 25, win by 2. In beach volleyball however, games are played to 21.

Michael Jordan had a total of 10 single-digit scoring games in his NBA career. These occurrences were rare, especially considering his overall scoring prowess and ability to dominate games. Most of these low-scoring performances happened early in his career or due to injuries. Despite these few outings, Jordan is widely regarded as one of the greatest scorers in basketball history.
The highest scoring game in LSU basketball history occurred on December 30, 1996, when the Tigers defeated the University of Iowa 111-105 in a thrilling overtime match. Another notable high-scoring game was on February 6, 1987, when LSU triumphed over the University of Alabama with a score of 109-102. These games reflect the explosive offensive capabilities of LSU basketball throughout its history.
Add out is a term that was used before in scoring meaning that the receiving team had to win the rally to get serve, then they could start scoring points. While the opposing team is serving, the receiving team is in add out. This method of scoring isn't used anymore in rec leagues, high school, or college volleyball. It changed simply because the games were taking entirely too long.
