Production Data Sources
This page lists source families that are actually used in published AddictingSports games. A source being publicly reachable does not automatically make it eligible: we review its provenance, usage terms, coverage, update behavior, and fit for the intended question before production use.
NFL
nflverse provides season-level NFL play and player statistics under its published project terms and attribution requirements. Questions retain a season and scope so regular-season, postseason, and combined values are not silently mixed.
Soccer
Published soccer games use reviewed match, competition, roster, and geography records from approved production datasets. Club names and competition context are normalized before a record can enter a puzzle bank.
Baseball and hockey
Published MLB and NHL questions use curated, source-cited records that pass the same scope, answer, and historical-label checks. A league website being authoritative does not by itself grant the reuse rights required for ingestion.
Geography and venues
Sports Globe records include the answer place, coordinates, sport, clue family, and a supporting citation. Locations are reviewed as sports facts—not inferred from an athlete name or filled with a generic city when the real venue is unavailable.
What we reject
We reject records with unknown statistical scope, unclear licensing, missing source identity, conflicting answers, or insufficient context for a fair question. Rejected records do not trigger canned or fabricated replacement content.
Source questions
Contact us with the game, date, and question text if you need the provenance record for a published question or believe an attribution is incomplete.
