Source hierarchy
How we decide what gets published
The newsroom uses a fixed source hierarchy: official league and team announcements first, named journalist reports second, statistical inference third. We never invent testimonials, win rates or expert accuracy claims.
| Source tier | Examples | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Official | BCCI, IPL, team franchises. | Confirmed data input. |
| Named journalist | Senior reporters with track record. | Probable data input; revised if not confirmed. |
| Statistical inference | Our role, matchup and venue reads. | Editorial inference, labelled. |
| Single-source report | Unverified social media or anonymous tips. | Not published unless verified. |
FAQ
News section questions
How current is the news section?
Confirmed announcements are published within hours. Probable reports are published with a probable label and revised once a second source verifies.

No. We publish verified information and clearly labelled editorial inference. Single-source or anonymous reports are not published unless verified.
Can I send you a tip?
Yes. Use the contact page with the source you observed the news from. We verify before publication and credit the tip if you ask.
Do you cover other T20 leagues?
Our focus is the IPL, with cross-references to international T20 cricket where the data is fantasy-relevant. We do not run dedicated coverage of every T20 league.
