A saved score remembers the result while forgetting the afternoon around it.

Records keep whatever fits the form. A score holds the outcome and loses the light on the grass, who arrived late, the argument about a rule, the food afterwards, which is where most of the day actually was. Years later you may find you have the number and not the thing it was attached to. What gets stored shapes what you are able to recall.

Alongside any result you write down, add one line about the circumstances; a sentence about who was there will be worth more in ten years than the figure.
