Standards

Editorial Policy

LawnLeagues publishes practical, independent guides to backyard games. These standards govern everything we write.

Independence

Our rankings and recommendations are editorially independent. Affiliate relationships, including the Amazon Associates Program, never influence which products we recommend or how we rank them. No manufacturer can buy a spot on a list. Picks are chosen first and linked second, never the other way around.

Accuracy & updates

We research rules from official sources and governing bodies where they exist. Cornhole rules lean on the American Cornhole League's published standards, and every other game with a governing body gets the same treatment. Where no official body exists, we document the most widely played version and say so. Gear is researched using the process on our How We Research page, which spells out what we compare on spec and why we do not publish hands-on scores.

Guides are living pages. We update them when products are discontinued or redesigned, and when owner feedback surfaces a problem. Significant updates get reflected in the page content itself rather than quietly swapped.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it. That covers everything from a bad spec number to a rules detail we misread. When a reader flags an error, we check it against the original source, correct the page if the reader is right, and thank them for the catch. Spot an error? Contact us and we'll review it promptly, usually within a few days.

Authorship

Content is produced under the editorial direction of Dani Greene, LawnLeagues commissioner. Drafts are checked against official rules and manufacturer specs before publishing. When a page describes Dani's own games, from her block's Fourth of July to a beach day, it is her real experience; product specs and durability notes still come from published details and owner reviews, not lab tests. Learn more about us.

What we promise readers

No pay-to-play placements. No fake testing claims, and no numeric scores for gear we have not tested. No recycled press-release copy dressed up as a review. If a page recommends a product, it is because the evidence held up, and if that changes, the page changes too.
