Editorial policy

We aim to make sport easier to understand through accurate, clearly written explanations. Our editorial choices are guided by reader interest and clarity, not by a promise that every call or interpretation will be beyond dispute.

Accuracy and clarity

We check explanations against relevant rules and established descriptions of the sport, and distinguish a rule from a tactical interpretation or common convention. When a subject is complex or disputed, we say so and avoid presenting one reading as the only possible one.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for the usefulness of the subject to readers. Commercial relationships do not determine our conclusions or give partners control over independent editorial coverage.

Corrections

If you spot an error or unclear explanation, contact us with the article and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when warranted, making significant corrections clear to readers.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid placements and other partner material are labelled so readers can distinguish them from independent editorial articles. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where used, they are identified as such and are not presented as documentary images.
