Partnerships
Open Match Review considers collaborations that fit its subject and let readers identify commercial material without guesswork.
Suitable collaborations
We consider relevant partnerships such as clearly identified resource listings, event or activity information, and editorially separate contributions about open play. A proposal should state what is being offered, who it is for and what the partnership would ask the publication to do.
Partner placements
We may accept clearly labelled partner placements across the site when the subject is relevant to open-format sport and the placement is useful to readers. We do not present a paid placement as an independent recommendation or allow a partner to dictate editorial conclusions.
How material is identified
Sponsored or partner material will be labelled clearly where it appears. Editorial coverage remains separate, and any proposed arrangement that would make that distinction unclear will not be accepted.
Make an enquiry
Use the Contact page and select the partnership reason. Include the proposed format, subject, intended audience and any conditions, so the fit can be assessed plainly.
An open match still needs a clear frame
A few shared agreements can make changing teams and formats easier to follow. We look at what to settle before play, and what can stay flexible.
