No... a military insertion is combat. Sports are intended to be fun for someone, whereas combat is terrifying and despairing. MMA is sport, paintball.
Of course the score counts, if the players stipulate to it, that's how a game works.

Also, Ice hockey, best sport. Offense, defense, speed, strength, skill, agility, blood, sweat, grace, ferocity. The only major sport where everyone carries a weapon and wears armor.
