1. Start with a verifiable football fact
Each question begins with an identifiable fact about a player, club, competition, match or record. Where possible, we prefer official competition and club sources, established statistical databases and reputable reporting over unsourced lists.
2. Check the answer and the alternatives
We review the correct answer, the wording and every alternative together. A distractor should be plausible enough to make the question interesting, but it must not create a second defensible answer.
3. Add a date or season when facts can change
Transfers, records, rankings and current squads change. Questions about moving facts should include the relevant season, competition or date so the answer remains unambiguous.
4. Set difficulty without using tricks
Difficulty should come from the football knowledge required, not confusing grammar or hidden assumptions. We mix accessible questions with deeper facts and review performance data when enough players have answered.
5. Keep public quizzes separate from ranked availability
Publishing a quiz for search visitors does not automatically publish those questions into ranked matches. Public quiz pages and the competitive question pool have separate availability controls.
6. Correct material errors and record real updates
When we find a material error, we correct or remove the affected question. Page update signals, including sitemap dates, should change only after a meaningful content update—not automatically on every request.
