Independence & Affiliate Disclosure

Current links

Current beta retailer links are ordinary source links and do not currently earn us commissions. Pending program applications are not partnerships.

Independent recommendations

We may add clearly labeled affiliate links in future. Commissions will not affect inclusion rules or match scores. We do not sell ranking positions or accept payment to raise match scores. Any future paid content would be clearly identified.

Published sources, not hands-on testing

Product specifications come from manufacturer and retailer sources. Source verification is not hands-on testing or rugby certification. Prices and stock must be confirmed at the retailer; pitch, competition, and referee requirements must also be checked before playing.
