No they do not have to state a name, but it sheds much clearer light on the topic.

Go back and read what others posted and you will have the reason the example was given. People were asking what happened. 9 different players scored and rules were given by the coach.

Running up a score is running up a score. Unless in your book 13-0 is not running up a score.
