Editorial Coverage and Limits of Responsibility
How the editorial desk operates, the limits of the desk's responsibility, and the intellectual property terms for the site.
iplfantasynow is an editorial desk covering the IPL through the lens of fantasy team building. The site does not run contests, accept deposits, sell paid picks or operate any fantasy platform. The terms below describe how the editorial coverage is provided and the limits of the desk's responsibility.
Editorial coverage
The desk publishes match-day reporting, fantasy analysis, captain picks, role-change alerts and venue reports. Every published claim carries a source and a data cut-off where possible. The desk publishes correction notes visibly when material details change.
Limits of the desk's responsibility
Predictions and captain picks are reasoned recommendations based on the data the desk has at the time of publication. They are not guarantees. Selection conditions change after toss and confirmed lineups. The desk is not responsible for fantasy outcomes based on the analysis published.
Intellectual property
Editorial content published on this site is the property of iplfantasynow. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link to the source page. Republication of full articles requires written permission. Imagery used on the site is generated for editorial illustration; underlying rights may vary by image.
Third-party platforms
The site may reference third-party platforms (for example, official IPL sites, broadcast partners and fantasy platforms). The desk does not endorse or operate these platforms. Any engagement with them is at your own discretion.
Changes to these terms
If we update these terms, we will publish the updated version on this page with the date of the change. Material changes will be called out in the desk's editorial feed.
How the editorial coverage is provided in practice
The editorial coverage is provided on a best-efforts basis. The desk commits to showing the work, updating as the day changes, and publishing reasoned picks — but the desk does not guarantee any particular outcome, win rate, or fantasy return. Predictions are reasoned picks, not certainties.
Selection conditions change after toss and confirmed lineups. The desk publishes a labelled post-toss panel within the update cycle, but the desk does not guarantee the panel will be available before every reader's team-locking deadline. Readers should always re-check the latest update before locking their team.
The desk is an editorial operation, not a platform. The site does not run contests, accept deposits, sell paid picks or provide customer support for any fantasy platform. Engagement with any third-party fantasy platform is at the reader's own discretion, and the desk does not endorse any particular platform.
If the desk updates these terms, the updated version is published on this page with the date of the change. Material changes are called out in the desk's editorial feed. The desk's commitment is to publish the terms clearly, with the date of the most recent update, so readers can see what has changed.
How the desk reads this through the season
Reading this page across a season means tracking the inputs that shift week by week. Squad moves, role changes, venue conditions and toss-time news all feed the desk's read. The page is updated whenever a material input shifts, with the reasoning visible so you can challenge the desk's read.
The desk's editorial discipline on this page is the same as across the rest of the coverage. Every published claim is dated, every prediction carries the data cut-off used to build it, and every correction is published visibly on the affected page. The desk never claims certainty it cannot substantiate.
Where the underlying data is thin — early-season matches, small sample sizes, brand-new squad combinations — the desk publishes a small-sample warning next to the relevant claim. The desk does not invent probability percentages or claim prediction accuracy it cannot substantiate.
Reader feedback shapes the page. What is working, what is missing, what could be clearer — the desk reads every email and acts on the most useful feedback. Where a section is consistently less useful to readers, the desk reduces its prominence or merges it into a related section.
The desk's commitment is to publish the reasoning behind every claim so you can challenge the desk's read. Where a claim turns out to be wrong, the desk publishes a labelled correction note with the original line, the updated line, the reason and the time of correction. The desk does not silently rewrite claims.
