Politics is contentious. This page explains how Politiplay tries to stay consistent, transparent, and fair.
Source standards
- Editors use reputable sources and require clear attribution to the figure.
- Paywalled links are allowed when the outlet is reputable and the headline is verifiable.
- Duplicate coverage is handled to avoid double-counting.
Tie-breaks
- Primary: total points.
- Secondary: most recent scoring moment within the Sweep window.
- Final: if still tied, shared placement.
Disputed calls & appeals
- If a moment looks incorrect, report it. We review attribution, duplication, and scoring consistency.
- If we update a moment, we preserve the audit trail so changes are explainable.
Transparent criteria Consistency first
