Data and trust

Data sources and accuracy.

MeetMate is designed so published event information can be traced back to the source that supports it.

Source types

Swimming organisations

National and regional swimming bodies, official event calendars and competition pages.

Clubs and organisers

Official club or organiser websites, event pages and published notices.

Meet documents

Meet information, programmes, qualifying criteria, entry documents, psych sheets and results where relevant.

Registration platforms

Entry links, deadlines and competition information published through an organiser's authorised registration service.

What MeetMate calls an official event page

Calendar pages, search results and event-listing pages may be used to discover a meet, but MeetMate should label a link as an Official event page only when it resolves to a current page dedicated to that specific event. A general calendar, category page or parent listing is not treated as a substitute.

PDFs, entry portals and other documents may provide important supporting evidence, but they are not treated as the event page itself. If a specific event page cannot be verified, MeetMate may leave that field unavailable rather than present a broader page as though it were the event's dedicated page.

Publication workflow

MeetMate may use automated tools to discover and extract information, followed by event-identity checks, field validation, source-evidence checks and publication rules. Automated extraction is a processing method, not independent proof that a field is correct.

Publication means the listing passed MeetMate's current publication rules; it does not mean that MeetMate is the event organiser or that the organiser has reviewed or endorsed the MeetMate listing.

Missing or uncertain fields

A blank or unavailable field means MeetMate did not obtain enough reliable source support to publish that field. MeetMate should not infer an entry deadline, venue, qualification requirement or other material detail simply because a similar event used one previously.

Before you act: confirm current entry conditions, session times, venue information, fees, qualifying requirements, postponements and withdrawals with the organiser or other authorised official source.

Third-party material, names and links

MeetMate does not claim ownership of third-party event notices, documents, organisation names, logos or trademarks. Rights in third-party material remain with their respective owners where applicable. References and links are used to identify events, attribute sources and help users reach the original information.

A link to an organisation or service does not by itself imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership or affiliation with MeetMate. Third-party sites may change, move or remove content without notice.

Updates and corrections

Meet information can change after MeetMate has collected it. Source changes may not appear immediately in MeetMate, so the source's current publication remains the best place to confirm time-sensitive details.

Where a correction can be verified against a reliable source, MeetMate should update the affected listing in a subsequent publication cycle. If you are a rights holder, organiser or affected person and believe a link, attribution or displayed item should be reviewed, use the Report an issue channel or email mmeetmate@gmail.com.
