Evidence before certainty
Material factual claims should be supported by an identifiable source. Official league, team, tour, manufacturer and direct participant sources are preferred when available.
- We publish claims that can be traced to a source.
- We distinguish current records from historical observations.
- We date details that can change over time.
Changing information
Paddles, sponsors, rankings, rosters and roles change. We use wording such as documented, observed or announced with a date so readers know when each detail was current.
Editorial and commercial separation
Editorial conclusions are based on the record. Commercial links are clearly disclosed and checked for the correct product and destination.
Use of video and social media
Videos, shorts and official social accounts can provide useful context and direct evidence. We identify the publisher and distinguish promotional material from independent reporting when that distinction matters.
