OUR REPORTING STANDARDS
Earn the community’s trust.
Clear sources. Real athletes. Room to correct the record.
Submitted and verified are different.
Community results are labeled as submitted until a 32 Sports staff member reviews them. Staff-verified results can support draft daily roundups. Verification reflects a staff review, not an official league endorsement.
Real reporting comes first.
Articles use submitted facts and identified quotes. We do not invent plays, player statistics, records, offers, or quotations. Draft roundups may be assembled automatically; staff review them before publication.
Recognition has clear rules.
Staff select Player of the Week. Fan Favorite is a separate community vote with one choice per signed-in account each game week. Voting is open only for staff-verified current-week nominees.
Photos and profiles need permission.
Submitters must have permission to publish athlete names and photos, including parent or guardian permission for players under 18. Public athlete profiles require an additional opt-in. Registration details and parent contacts remain private.
Correcting the record.
Use the correction form on any game page to report an inaccurate score, request an edit, or request a photo/profile removal. Staff review requests. When a source result changes, related coverage returns to editorial review.
What our records mean.
Team records are calculated from verified reported games. They are not complete official standings. Teams in different divisions can share a name; include the division in the team name when needed to distinguish them.
