1. Topic and Tone

• Submitted articles must focus on sports, athletic life, or topics closely related to sports.
• The tone must remain respectful and sportsmanlike.
  Constructive criticism is allowed; however, personal attacks, hateful language, defamatory statements, or content published in bad faith will not be accepted.

2. Respect and Prohibited Content

• Content that is hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic, religiously discriminatory, or otherwise exclusionary is strictly prohibited.
• Harassing, threatening, or degrading language is not permitted, nor is content that humiliates or attacks a specific individual.

3. Language and Formatting

• Articles should be clear, well-structured, written in complete sentences, and reasonably free of major spelling or grammatical errors.

4. Original Content, Sources, and AI Use

• Only original articles written by the submitting author and not previously published elsewhere may be submitted.
• When using statistics, quotations, or information from external sources, proper attribution is required (e.g. league websites, statistical databases, news agencies).
• Plagiarized content or articles copied from other websites will be removed.
• AI-generated or heavily AI-assisted content is only acceptable if clearly disclosed in advance and if the article provides genuine, original added value.

5. Advertising and Self-Promotion

• Hidden advertising, affiliate links, gambling-related content, cryptocurrency promotion, or other promotional material is not permitted.

8. Advertisement Placement

• The website owner reserves the right to place advertisements, sponsored elements, or other commercial content alongside, before, or within submitted articles.
• Submission does not imply exclusivity and does not entitle the author to any form of automatic compensation.
