Methods, sources and correction policy

How this independent recreational reference decides what to publish, update or reject.

EDITORIAL STANDARD

What is the site's evidence policy?

We separate organizer rules and official technical sources from general editorial advice. We cite a source when a factual claim depends on it, label uncertain or event-specific guidance, and remove content that creates brand confusion or unsafe real-world implications.

Source hierarchy

  1. Current event rules, venue instructions and manufacturer documentation for event-specific decisions.
  2. Primary public references such as USGS map resources for general map literacy.
  3. First-party game or organizer announcements when a future editorial comparison requires a brand mention.
  4. Community observations only as leads, never as confirmed facts by themselves.

Editorial boundaries

  • No copied maps, screenshots, logos or proprietary guide text.
  • No claim of official, partner or military status.
  • No real-world combat instruction or universal safety guarantee.
  • No fabricated volume, ranking, equipment or performance statistics.
  • No paid placement disguised as editorial advice.

Update and correction process

Each guide shows an update date. A change to event rules, a broken source, a factual error or a repeated reader misunderstanding triggers review. Corrections should change the source text and date, not only add a footnote.

Public references used for general literacy

These references support general map-literacy concepts. They do not endorse this site or any recreational event.
