Data Update Frequency

We aim to deliver real-time updates across all matches and competitions:

  • Live scores are updated every 5–10 seconds.
  • Standings, player stats, and match events are updated as soon as provider feeds refresh.
  • Final scores are confirmed against official sources before being marked as complete.

Accuracy and Possible Discrepancies

While we strive for 100% accuracy, live sports data can occasionally differ from official results due to:

  • Delays in third-party API updates.
  • Post-match corrections from leagues or referees.
  • Technical interruptions in data transmission.

In such cases, we always prioritize official league confirmations to ensure final accuracy.

Data Verification Process

To maintain high accuracy standards, we:

  • Cross-check data from multiple sources.
  • Manually verify critical match outcomes in disputed cases.
  • Maintain logs to track and resolve discrepancies quickly.

Technical Reliability

Our platform uses low-latency servers and CDN technology to reduce delays. We also maintain backup data channels to ensure uninterrupted live score coverage, even during high-traffic events.
