We show a report only after we check it, link it to the venue, tell the venue and get the reporter's permission. We never show names, report details, evidence, exact dates or private agreements. These figures do not change scores or rankings.
There are no reports we can show since 1 January 2026. This does not mean nobody reported a problem. Some reports stay private or could not be checked.
