Methodology

How events are sourced, verified, and corrected.

Trust is the point of this site: players book flights and hotels and plan trips around what it says, so a wrong “verified” signal is worse than a missing one. When something is not confirmed, the page says so rather than guessing.

Where information comes from

In order of priority:

  1. Official organiser, tour, or venue pages for the specific edition.
  2. Official schedule documents, such as published PDFs.
  3. Venue or event material for that edition.
  4. Other clearly labelled references — used only as a starting point and confirmed against an official source before anything is shown as verified.

What the verification labels mean

  • Last checked — the date an event's schedule was last confirmed against its official source. It records when the data was verified, not when the event itself changed.
  • Verified schedule — a schedule is shown as verified only when it has an official source link, a last-checked date, and actual tournament entries. Otherwise it is shown as listed, or as not yet published.
  • Exact dates — an event's start and end dates are published only when an official, current-edition source confirms them. Dates from a previous edition are never used to fill in a new one.

Trust rules

  • Schedules, dates, buy-ins, and guarantees are never invented. Every published detail is backed by a source.
  • When a schedule has not been published, the event shows “schedule coming soon” rather than a guessed one.
  • Verified events show when they were last checked and link to their source, so you can confirm the details yourself.
  • Cancelled or postponed events are marked as such and are left out of the sitemap, so they are not presented as active.

Corrections

When the evidence changes, or a schedule or date is found to be wrong, the affected claim is re-checked against its official source and corrected or removed — a “verified” signal is never left standing once it is in doubt. Each event page links to its official source, and that source is always the final authority: if the two ever disagree, prefer the official source.
