26cup Editorial Policy

The editorial goal is to make it obvious which statements are official facts, which are dated analysis and which cannot be supported.

Evidence status: legacy numeric claims withdrawn where no retained input table, raw output or version record exists.

What this page can support

Material corrections are dated. Forecast pages remain frozen in purpose, but unsupported details can be removed with an explanation rather than silently converted into hindsight.

Evidence checklist

  1. Cite official sources for scores, fixtures and standings.
  2. Disclose advertising and affiliate relationships.
  3. Do not accept payment for editorial placement.
  4. Do not publish fabricated first-hand experience or model output.
  5. Provide a contact path for correction requests.

Limit of the archive

General information on 26cup is not betting, financial, legal or travel advice.

A forecast and an official result are different records. The forecast must remain dated and frozen; the result should come from the competition organiser.
