Frequently asked questions

Do editors receive API upgrades?: Approved editors receive Pro-tier API access for staging plus portal tooling needed to perform reviews. Production usage still follows your paid tier.
Is there a minimum time commitment?: We ask for at least four hours per week to maintain queue velocity. Editors who exceed eight hours unlock roadmap votes and deeper tooling access.
Can I focus on a single sport or league?: Yes. We staff specialists per league and region. List your expertise during the application so we can align you with the right queue.
