Corrections & revisions
For corrections, suggested revisions, or quiet disagreements with a piece the desk has published. The desk logs every correction; material corrections are footnoted on the affected page.
The desk welcomes corrections, suggested revisions, tip-offs and quiet disagreements. The fastest way to reach the desk is email — the editor reads every note personally.
The desk prefers email for everything. Three different routes are listed below, depending on what you want to send.
For corrections, suggested revisions, or quiet disagreements with a piece the desk has published. The desk logs every correction; material corrections are footnoted on the affected page.
For tip-offs about new playing conditions, points-rule revisions, or roster moves that the desk should know about. The desk does not promise coverage but does promise to read.
For requests to republish, translate or quote longer passages from a piece. Short quotations under 100 words with attribution are welcome without a request; longer re-use needs a written note.
The desk is small. The editor reads every note personally. The desk aims to respond within five working days; corrections are usually acknowledged faster.
The desk does not use a contact form, a chatbot or an automated responder. Email is the route in — and the editor's reply will come from a personal address, not from a no-reply alias.
The desk treats the inbox as part of the editorial product. Notes that lead to a correction, a footnote, or a revised piece are credited at the bottom of the affected page. Anonymous notes are welcome; the desk does not require a name, an organisation or a return address to log a correction.
The desk does not use the inbox for marketing. The desk does not add readers to a list, share email addresses, or sell contact data. The privacy policy sets out the full picture.

The desk tries to respond within five working days. Corrections are usually acknowledged faster — the editorial inbox is checked daily, and material corrections are often acted on within forty-eight hours. Notes that lead to a longer conversation are usually answered at greater length, with the editor's reasoning visible.
The desk does not use the inbox for marketing. The desk does not add readers to a list, share email addresses, or sell contact data. The privacy policy sets out the full picture. The desk's view is that the inbox is part of the editorial product — the reader's trust in the desk depends on the desk treating the inbox the way the desk treats the writing.
Corrections and revisions go to the same inbox, with the subject line including the word "Correction" or "Revision" so the editor can route the note quickly. Tip-offs and primary sources should include the source in the note body — the desk does not open attachments. Republishing and licensing requests should include the publication, the piece, and the length of the proposed re-use.
If the desk has not responded within ten working days, the note has been missed or the address has bounced. The reader is welcome to write again — the desk apologises for the delay. The desk's standing rule is that no note goes unanswered for more than two weeks without a follow-up.
Press enquiries, syndication requests, and interview requests are read by the editor personally. The desk does not have a press office; the editor handles the note directly.

Press enquiries that involve the desk's editorial product — for example, a piece on the role lens, or a piece on the captaincy math — are usually answered within five working days. The desk's standing rule is that the editor can speak to the editorial product, not to commercial or financial questions about the desk's funding. The funding is set out on the disclosure page; the editor is happy to point to that page for context, but does not comment further.
Syndication requests for individual pieces are read on their own terms. The desk's standing rule is that short quotations (under 100 words) with attribution and a link back to the original piece are welcome without a request. Longer re-use needs a written note through the editorial inbox — the editor will reply with the desk's terms. The desk's view is that the editorial product is worth more than a single use, and that good syndication terms are part of the editorial product.
Interview requests are read on their own terms. The editor is happy to talk about the desk's editorial method, the three-pass routine, the captaincy lens, and the responsible-play strand. The editor is not available to talk about picks, predictions, or commercial questions. The desk's view is that an interview is a piece of editorial product, and the editor treats the interview the way the desk treats every other piece — with a source pass, a voice pass, and a last-reviewed stamp.
The desk does not run contests, sell picks, take affiliate commission, run display ads, host sponsored content, publish player projections, or chase the news cycle. The list is short on purpose. The reader who visits the desk should be able to assume that the editorial product is not commercially entangled — and the contact page is the document the reader is entitled to read in order to check that assumption.
Corrections are logged, footnoted and dated. The disclosure page sets out the commercial picture; the editorial standards set out the editorial process.
