What baj999 does, and what it does not

This page is the desk's self-review. The desk is honest about what it does well and what it does not. Readers who find the desk's coverage valuable can subscribe to the newsletter; readers who find gaps in the coverage can contact the desk and the desk reads the message.

Scope

What the desk does

The baj999 desk covers IPL fantasy cricket in three editorial blocks — match reads, player reads, and platform reads.

Match reads

Pre-match captaincy reads, venue form tables, weather calls, and dew forecasts — written before toss and updated when squads change.

Player reads

Batters, bowlers, all-rounders and wicketkeepers — by role, by workload, by recent form. Same editorial frame for every player.

Platform reads

Verified trust desk — what is known about a platform, what must be verified, and how the platform's terms hold up to scrutiny.

Limits

What the desk does not do

The desk is honest about the limits of its coverage. Where a question is outside the editorial scope, the desk points the reader to the right resource.

No contests

baj999 does not run contests, hold deposits or pay out fantasy winnings. The desk does not earn entry fees or referral fees.

No bonus codes

The desk does not publish bonus codes, signup offers or welcome bonuses. Editorial coverage is independent of any platform's marketing.

No live ball-by-ball

The desk does not carry licensed live ball-by-ball feeds. After matches, the desk logs the verified scoreline and the captaincy corrections.

No invented claims

The desk never invents ownership, legal, payment, KYC, wallet, address, phone, social or contact information to fill a template.

No rumour publication

The desk publishes only verified reads. Where the source is hedged, the desk publishes the hedge verbatim. The desk never runs with rumours.

No third-party endorsements

The desk does not endorse any platform, app or operator. Where a reader wants a third-party view, the verified press contacts are listed on the contact page.

Method

How the editorial method holds up to scrutiny

The baj999 editorial method is built around three commitments: verified sources, written reasoning, and open corrections. Each commitment is auditable by the reader.

Verified sources

Every story enters the desk with a source — presser quote, training-ground observation, official media release, or physio note. The source is logged with the date.

Written reasoning

Every captaincy call, squad read and venue pick is published with the reasoning. Where the call is wrong, the reasoning is what the desk reviews in the correction.

Open corrections

Where the desk gets a read wrong, a correction appears at the bottom of the relevant guide with the date and the original claim. The corrections log is open.

Verification

The verification policy, in plain language

The baj999 verification policy is built on three rules. First, every story must have a source — a presser quote, a training-ground observation, an official media release, or a physio note. Second, the source must be logged with the date and the venue. Third, where the source is hedged, the desk publishes the hedge verbatim.

Where the desk cannot verify, the desk does not write. Where a reader disagrees with the editorial interpretation of a verified read, the corrections log is open and dated.

Corrections

The corrections log, open and dated

Where the desk gets a read wrong, a correction appears at the bottom of the relevant guide with the date and the original claim. The corrections log on baj999 is open and dated — readers can see every correction the desk has published, when it was published, and what the original claim was.

The desk treats the corrections log as the most important part of its editorial method. A desk without an open corrections log is a desk that cannot be trusted to hold itself accountable.
