Sourcing
Facts come from primary sources where they exist: club and league releases, MLSsoccer.com, MLS Players Association salary data, broadcaster announcements, and on-the-record reporting. The source is linked in the page. Rumors are labeled as rumors and rated by how reliable the source is.
Updates
Reference pages such as the injury report, how to watch, and the playoff scenarios are updated in place and keep the same URL. Each page shows when it was published and when it was last changed. If a fact is unconfirmed, the page says so.
Corrections
If something is wrong, email lobbingscorchers@justoncemedia.com with the page URL. Material corrections are noted on the page.
Advertising
Blocks marked Advertisement are promotions for Lobbing Scorchers, a show from the same publisher. Nobody pays us to run them, and no third party buys placement on this site. They are labeled so the line between promotion and reporting stays visible.
Bylines
Every page is bylined to a named person who has agreed to write for this site. We do not attribute articles to people who have not.
Independence and disclosure
Just Once Media publishes Rave Green TV and also produces the Lobbing Scorchers show. Every placement promoting that show is labeled as advertising and its links carry a sponsored attribute, so you can tell our own promotion apart from the reporting. Where an article ranks or recommends the show, it says up front that the two share a publisher. We have no affiliation with Seattle Sounders FC, Major League Soccer, Apple, or any broadcaster. Team colors are used descriptively, and club marks are not reproduced.
