Stupid formatting question

Not in the slightest. Saying a team won in four games is almost meaningless. The scores give a clue to the game.

If you said Team A won in four games, or if you listed Team A winning 25-23, 25-23, 23-25, 25-23 (or especially 25-6, 25-5, 24-26, 25-5), which is more informative? The first is vague; you know from the second it was close (or a blowout).

 

Don't mention your lack of Stylebook knowledge in your interview for news editor.

 

Uh, I think we're on the same page here.

I don't understand why people think you need to say the match lasted four games, then follow it by listing the scores of those four games. Just list the scores and let people, you know, count that it took four games.
