House rules of the story board

Featurd Stories writes about live competition that readers can check within minutes, which sets the following rules.

Reported, rumoured, confirmed

A team sheet, an injury report and a transfer rumour carry different weight, and each one is labelled.

A signing is described as complete only once the club or the governing body says so.

Scores, odds and status

A result carries the competition, the round and the date, and a suspended or abandoned event is named as such.

Betting odds are quoted as market prices with their source, never as a tip.

No rights, no feed

The publication holds no broadcast rights and does not present itself as a live scoring service.

Where a figure comes from an official statistics provider, that provider is named.

Corrections: Featurd Stories

A wrong score, name, minute or venue is fixed in the article, which then shows when it changed.

Readers, clubs and agents can raise a correction through the contact form.

Who writes the story

Author pages state which sports a contributor follows, without claiming accreditation, dressing room access or a playing career.

Athletes and allegations

An accusation involving an athlete is attributed to the body or the document making it, and the person concerned is given room to answer.
