Editorial Standards

Chirp City Sports Media publishes independent educational material for students and early sports media creators. Aaron Seminoff is responsible for the publication.

Research and source checks

Articles use primary sources for claims those sources can establish. Sports rules come from the applicable governing body. Equipment details come from manufacturer documentation. Practitioner advice is attributed to its source, and examples written for a guide are labeled as practice examples.

A source’s limits belong with its claim. A rule for one league is not treated as a rule for every competition. Dates and governing bodies are named where they affect the answer.

AI-assisted production

AI tools assist with research, drafting and illustrations. Generated images are illustrative and do not document real games or events. The publication does not claim firsthand reporting, product testing, qualifications or expert review that did not occur.

Corrections and updates

Send the article URL and the suspected error to info@chirpcitybsu.com. Substantive corrections receive a dated note describing the change. A material update changes the article’s update date; a routine formatting fix does not imply new reporting.

Independence and historical material

The publication is independent of Ball State University, Ball State Sports Link and all university athletics programs. It does not speak for the former operators of this domain. Archived material is not republished without rights to use it.
