📝 Editorial Policy

The standards we hold ourselves to when publishing Teer results and related content.

InstantTeerResults.in is an independent sports-information publisher. This page documents the standards that govern everything we put on this website — how we gather information, how we correct mistakes, how we handle conflicts of interest, and what we will and will not publish. These standards exist so readers can hold us accountable.

Core Principles

Accuracy Over Speed

We publish results as fast as we can verify them — never faster. If a number cannot be confirmed through our verification pipeline, we show a "pending" indicator rather than guess. Being second with the correct number is better than being first with a wrong one.

Independence

We are not affiliated with any Teer association, counter, booking operator, government body, or advertiser. Editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of accuracy and reader value. No external party — including advertisers — has influence over what we publish, correct, or retract.

Transparency in Uncertainty

When a result is contested across our sources, we say so visibly rather than picking a number and hoping. When a published value is later corrected, the correction is logged to a permanent audit record with the previous value, the new value, and the timestamp.

No Predictions, No Advice

We publish historical records of publicly declared archery outcomes. We do not publish predictions, "sure-shot" numbers, paid tips, or any form of advisory content. Historical analysis (common numbers, house-ending frequency) is presented as statistical reference only, with clear disclaimers that these have no predictive value.

Corrections Policy

Every published result may be corrected if credible evidence emerges that the number is wrong. Our correction workflow:

Intake: readers can submit a correction request via our contact page. Staff-initiated corrections follow the same workflow.
Evidence review: we require a credible source — a photo of the official declaration, a link to the association's own posting, or corroboration from multiple independent publishers.
Re-verification: the disputed number is pushed back through our verification pipeline. For results less than 24 hours old, this means fresh scrapes across all our sources plus manual review. For historical results, we weight the HTML archives of the three most reliable upstream publishers.
Decision: if the evidence meets our threshold (at least three agreeing independent sources, or one ground-truth source with a photo), we update the record and log the change to our permanent audit file.
Visibility: when a published number is corrected post-publication, the results file exposes a fr_prev / sr_prev field and a changed_at timestamp so the change is machine-readable and not silent.

We do not silently overwrite history. Historical results in our archive are never changed without the correction being logged. If you see a number on this site, it is either the original verified publication or it has an audit trail showing what it was changed from and why.

Source Standards

Sources we treat as authoritative:

Official archery association announcements (KHASA for Shillong, counter associations for Khanapara and Juwai)
Allowlisted Telegram channels operated by observers physically present at the ground
Data APIs run by established teer result publishers with visible date-verification

Sources we treat as corroborating only (never sole basis for publication):

Third-party aggregator websites that republish results
Social media posts from non-allowlisted users
Forwarded messages without a verified origin

Conflict of Interest

We will not:

Accept payment to feature, hide, or adjust any specific result or counter
Accept payment to link to betting counters, bookmakers, or gambling platforms
Publish sponsored content disguised as editorial coverage
Recommend any specific numbers, strategies, or participation-related actions

If we accept advertising (via networks such as Google AdSense or contextual ad partners), those ads are clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Ad networks do not see or influence our editorial queue.

What We Publish Beyond Results

Our blog publishes educational and cultural content about Teer as an archery tradition: history, how the game works, legal framework, comparisons between counters, and responsible-participation awareness. All blog content is reviewed for factual accuracy and alignment with the standards on this page before publication.

We do not publish:

"Paid tips" or "sure-shot" content of any form
Content that encourages wagering beyond informed personal discretion
Content that misrepresents statistical references as predictions
Content targeted at minors

User-Generated Content

At present we do not host comments or user-submitted posts. Any feedback sent via the contact form is handled privately by the editorial team and is not republished without explicit permission.

Privacy & Tracking

Our handling of reader data — analytics, cookies, push notifications, ad personalisation — is described in our Privacy Policy. We collect the minimum necessary for the site to function and for aggregate usage analytics.

Accountability

If we get something wrong, we want to hear about it. Send detailed corrections, factual disputes, or policy concerns via our contact page. Every substantiated correction request results in a review within our published accuracy workflow.
