This page describes how Elite Match Press produces its coverage, what its scores mean, who is accountable for them, and how commercial support is disclosed. It is meant to be read, not skimmed.
How we assess a membership
We assess what a membership demonstrably buys against what it costs. Prices and terms are quoted only where the provider publishes them, with the date, and described as subject to change — and where a provider does not publish prices, we say so, because that opacity is itself part of the review. We cannot audit a vetting process from outside and never pretend to; we report what a provider states about its vetting and label it as such.
What our scores mean
Scores run 0–10 and grade what a membership demonstrably buys against what it costs — never romantic outcomes, which nobody can measure and we will not pretend to. A high score means the price is accounted for. No score can be bought.
Disclosure
Elite Match Press is a commercially supported publication. Posts containing affiliate links, and posts that are sponsored, carry a disclosure with the post. Sponsored and affiliate links are marked rel="sponsored" in the page's code. Sponsors never see, edit or approve editorial copy before publication, and no score can be bought — see the advertising page for what is and is not for sale.
Bylines
Elite Match Press publishes under house bylines maintained by the editorial team. Camilla Vaux, the editor's byline on our reviews, is a disclosed house pen name — the accountable editorial identity for everything published under it, in the tradition of publications that write under a house name rather than inventing biographies. News runs under “Staff, Elite Match Press.” There is no invented journalist behind any byline on this site.
Corrections
If we have published an error — a figure, a date, a term, a price — we want to know. Reach the editorial desk via the contact page and say “correction” in the first line; that queue moves fastest. We correct promptly and note material corrections in the post.
