Editorial policy

This page explains how Canalside Sports produces and checks what it publishes.

Sources

Rules, scoring values and measurements are checked against the published rule books of the governing body for each game. Dates and venues for tournaments are taken from the organisers’ own announcements.

Where rules differ

Several of the games we cover are played under more than one rule set, and many venues add house rules. Each guide says which rules it describes. Where common practice differs from the written rules, the guide points that out.

Dates

Tournament dates are given only where the organiser has announced them. Otherwise we give the usual month. Dates can change, so readers should confirm them before making plans.

Corrections

We correct errors as soon as we are told about them and can confirm the correct information. Significant corrections are noted on the page.

Independence

Canalside Sports is not affiliated with any club, venue, league or governing body. Guides are written to explain how the games are played, not to promote any organisation.

Updates

Each page shows the date it was published. Guides are reviewed when the rules they describe are changed.
