THE PLAYBOOK

Sources before scores.

Chicago, daily is a researched digest, with Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs leading the lineup. We also follow the Bulls, White Sox, Chicago Sky and Northwestern Wildcats college football.

A daily snapshot

Each team has its own verification time. Game times use America/Chicago, including daylight saving changes. Schedules can move; follow the official link before making plans. This is not a live scoreboard.

When a source is unavailable

We retain the last verified team snapshot with its original timestamp and a visible warning. If we have never verified it, we publish no score. After 36 hours, the page flags aging checks. Scheduled games whose start time has passed are marked for a status check, never automatically converted into finals.

Official sources, original summaries

We use team and league news, schedules and recaps: ChicagoBears.com, NHL.com, MLB.com, NBA.com, WNBA.com and NUSports.com. Bears RSS is a discovery source, not automatic proof of a result. Headlines and short summaries link directly to the source; no footage, logos or full articles are republished.

A small, static site

No accounts, tracking, score polling, video embeds or paid data feeds. Videos open at their official source. A daily publisher prepares a checked edition; a missed update leaves the previous edition in place.

Corrections appear in a new dated edition with the corrected fact and its source. Old snapshots remain in the archive unless a factual correction is necessary.
