Editorial Policy

Fresh Sports Compass aims to explain sport with care and a clear sense of what an article can and cannot establish. We value accurate wording, useful context, and corrections that make the record clearer.

Accuracy and context

We check factual statements against suitable sources before publication and take care to distinguish a general explanation from a rule that may vary by competition or setting. We avoid presenting personal opinion as established fact. Where information may change or depends on local arrangements, we say so and encourage readers to check with the relevant organizer.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial choices are made for reader interest and clarity. A commercial relationship does not guarantee coverage or determine an editorial conclusion. Sponsored or partner material is labelled clearly so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or unclear passage, use the Contact page and identify the article and the point at issue. We review correction requests and, when a change is warranted, amend the article so the revised wording is clear. A correction does not mean every disagreement about interpretation will change the text.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. Illustrations are used to support the page, not as documentary evidence of a real match, person, venue, or event.
