HOW THIS DESK WORKS

How the COMESPORTSBUZZ desk operates

The editorial routine that runs every section of COMESPORTSBUZZ, from the morning brief to the corrections log.

The morning brief

Published at 06:00 IST, the morning brief summarises overnight football results, the day's cricket fixtures, the editor pick of the day and one correction from the previous day. The brief is written by the desk editor on shift, with input from the cricket, football and tennis correspondents.

The live desk

The live desk refreshes inside 30 seconds of every wicket, goal and set point. Score ticks, possession and run rate update on the same cadence as the official scorecard. The desk runs 24 hours, with overnight cover from the London and New York offices.

The corrections log

Every correction issued in the last 90 days appears on the corrections log, with the article link, the date of correction and the corrected text. The log is updated daily. We do not make silent edits.

The standards editor

The standards editor reviews conflicts-of-interest disclosures, signs off on the use of unnamed sources, and reviews every correction before it is published. The standards editor reports directly to the desk editor and has a separate escalation path to the publisher.

The data desk

The data desk maintains the live scoreboard, the standings tables and the verified stats referenced in every story. The data desk is staffed by two full-time editors and is supported by a network of stringers who cover regional cricket, lower-division football and the international kabaddi circuit.

The night brief

The night brief is published at 22:30 IST and summarises the day's results, the editor verdict on the day's three biggest matches, and a look ahead to the next day's fixtures. The night brief is written by the on-shift editor and edited by the standards editor before publication.

How the ATP and WTA rankings work

The Grand Slam format

Each Grand Slam is a 128-player single-elimination draw, played over two weeks. The men's singles is best-of-five sets; the women's singles is best-of-three sets. The draws are seeded 1-32, with the top two seeds placed at opposite ends of the bracket.
