Trust Center

Clear standards for a confident competition season.

How we verify information, protect independent rankings, label paid visibility and handle corrections.

Listing verification

Verified badges reflect identity and listing checks. Organizers remain responsible for keeping dates, fees, rules, venues and policies current.

Independent rankings and reviews

Paid plans can add clearly labeled visibility, but cannot buy higher ratings, favorable reviews, leaderboard points or verified competition results.

Editorial transparency

Guides distinguish editorial recommendations from sponsorships. Material corrections are reviewed and updated when reliable evidence is provided.

Privacy and security

We collect only information needed to operate listings, registrations, ticketing and communications, and provide email preference and unsubscribe controls.

Directory limitations and corrections

Competition details can change after publication. Studios and families should confirm deadlines, pricing, eligibility, refund terms and venue information with the organizer before making non-refundable plans. To report an error, include the listing URL and supporting source.

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Sponsored listings and promotional placements are labeled. The directory may earn fees from featured listings, annual studio profiles, ticket transactions and selected partner referrals. Commercial relationships do not determine rankings or verified results.

Accessibility

We aim for readable contrast, keyboard-accessible navigation, descriptive image text and mobile-friendly pages. Contact us if a feature or document creates an accessibility barrier.
