Editorial policy

Curious Sports Journal aims to explain sporting ideas accurately, fairly and without making a match sound more certain or complicated than it is. We value clear sourcing, honest limits and straightforward corrections.

Accuracy and sources

We check factual claims against appropriate, identifiable sources and distinguish established rules from interpretation or opinion. Rules can differ by sport, competition and version; when that distinction matters, we name the scope rather than treating one account as universal. We do not invent quotations, examples presented as real events, or expertise.

Independence and partner material

Editorial choices are made for reader interest, not as a promise of favourable coverage. Paid or otherwise partner-supported material is clearly labelled where it appears, and partner links or placements are identified so readers can distinguish them from independent editorial work.

Corrections and illustrations

If you spot a factual error, contact us with the article and the point in question. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; they are illustrative, not evidence of a real match, person or place.
