http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_up_the_score
Absurd and yet at the same time ridiculousIn sports in the United States, "running up the score" occurs when a team continues to play in such a way as to score additional points after the outcome of the game is no longer in question and the team is assured of winning.

The term and concept are not common elsewhere in the world
So seems like an American thing. No wonder we Euro weenies have never heard of such a thing.
