Editorial Policy

Template notice: highlighted [placeholders] must be replaced with accurate details before publication. This text is a starting point and not legal advice.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently. Advertisers, sponsors, clubs, leagues and governing bodies do not review or control our content.

Accuracy and sourcing

We base explanatory articles on official rulebooks, competition regulations and reputable references, and we encourage readers to verify current details with official sources. We do not invent quotations, statistics or events.

Original content

Articles are written for readers, not for search engines. We do not publish scraped, spun or copied content. If automated tools assist drafting, a human editor remains responsible for review. Policy to be confirmed by publisher: [AI-ASSISTANCE POLICY].

News versus explainers

This site primarily publishes evergreen explainers. If news reporting is added, it will be clearly labelled and sourced.

Images

We use original illustrations or properly licensed images and credit them where required. We do not use team or league logos without permission.

Corrections

Errors are corrected promptly under our [Corrections Policy](corrections-policy.html).

Conflicts of interest

Contributors must disclose relevant conflicts. Sponsored content, if introduced, will be labelled clearly.
