Answer

The accumulated score would be an example of data coupling. Other “couplings” that might exist would include fatigue, momentum, the knowledge gained about an opponent’s strategy, and perhaps self-confidence. In many sports, the cohesion of the units is increased by terminating the action and restarting the next unit from a fresh beginning. For example, in baseball, each inning starts without any base runners, even though the team might have finished the previous inning with the bases loaded. In other cases, the units are scored separately as in tennis where each set is won or lost without regard for the other sets.
