zero points

Scoreless game result

Zero points is the condition of having scored nothing in a game, competition, or grading system.

It emphasizes total failure to earn credit: The team finished the season with zero points.

In casual speech, zero points often dismisses something as worthless or unimpressive: That joke gets zero points for originality.
