Corrections

Our approach

Eleven checks every name, score, date and quote against its source before a story is published. When something still turns out to be wrong, we correct it as quickly as we can and say so.

How we correct

Factual errors, such as a wrong score, result, name, date, ranking or quote, or a quote credited to the wrong person, are corrected in the story. A note at the foot of the story says what was wrong and when it was fixed, and the correction is listed below.

Small slips, such as spelling, typing or style mistakes that do not change the meaning, are fixed without a note.

Updates are different from corrections. When a story develops, for example a result comes in or a player withdraws, we update the story and change its date, without a correction note.

We do not delete stories to hide mistakes. A story is only taken down for legal reasons, and if that happens we say so here.

Tell us

If you spot a mistake, tell us through the contact page, with a link to the story and, if you can, a source. We check every report and reply when a correction is made.
