Morphology
unscored = scored (transparent) = un + score + ed
Simple negation of the adjectival/past-participle 'scored' meaning 'having received a score'.
Etymology
The word unscored combines un- 'not' and score, and score also came to mean 'a mark for counting' or 'points' because people once kept score by making marks. So unscored means 'not given a score', as when papers or entries have not been graded or given points.
