Editorial policy

Open Sports Bulletin aims to explain sport accurately, fairly and in language readers can follow. Our articles focus on evergreen understanding rather than live results or claims that a game has one simple explanation.

Accuracy and clarity

We check explanations against relevant rules and reliable reference material before publication. Rules and formats can vary between competitions or change over time, so we identify the context where that distinction matters and avoid presenting a general explanation as universal. We define specialist terms and distinguish a rule from a tactical choice or a common convention.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for reader value and clarity. A commercial relationship does not guarantee coverage, a favourable view or editorial approval. Where a contribution or placement has a partner relationship, we label it clearly so readers can recognise its nature.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or an unclear explanation, contact us through the Contact page and identify the article and the passage in question. We review credible reports and correct material when needed, making the change clear where it affects a reader's understanding.

Illustrations and generated images

Some illustrations on Open Sports Bulletin are AI-generated. They are used to explain or represent a subject, not as documentary evidence of a real match, person or event.
