Boxing matches are scored by judges round-by-round, but neither the fighters nor spectators know the official scorecards until the decision is read at the end.

In baseball, the defensive team (fielders) always has possession of the ball, whether with the pitcher, catcher, or in the field. The offensive team scores by hitting the ball and running around bases without needing to touch the ball again. Basketball and football involve the offense handling the ball, while golf is individual.

The term 'home run' originated in cricket in the mid-19th century, referring to a hit that cleared the boundary and allowed the batter to score all runs. Baseball adopted the term later, adapting it to mean hitting the ball out of the playing field. Cricket's usage predates organized baseball's adoption.

Ludo is the odd one out as it is a board game played indoors, while cricket, tennis, and hockey are all outdoor sports played on fields/courts. Ludo also relies more on chance (dice rolls) compared to the skill-based nature of the other three sports. Note: 'hocky' is misspelled - should be 'hockey'.

In tennis terminology, 'love' means zero or no score. The term is believed to come from the French word 'l'œuf' (egg), which represents zero due to its shape. It's a unique scoring tradition in tennis that differs from other sports.
