Remember:

• The site is built by its users, all data and artwork you see was contributed by someone.
  
• That can be from individual users, or someone who wrote a script, or commercial imports.

Event Schedules:

• One of the biggest jobs on the site is to add new events to each season. 
  
• We have a number of importers that can do this but they are not always reliable Sports such as Motorsport, Tennis, Fighting etc are all done manually by our users.
  
• If you see something missing, just go to the league page and hit "Add Event" and add some details.
