All-play and schedule comparisons need complete weekly fields and career history. Career rates require at least 20 weeks across 2 completed seasons and 2 qualifying teams. Pregame comparisons use only earlier weeks.

Seed and elimination records need complete winners brackets, independent playoff seeds and verified first-game chronology. Byes do not count as played wins.

Contextual matchup records use verified entering records, eventual season outcomes and complete actual-week fields. Unsplit multiweek games do not receive a weekly scoring rank.

Annual history records need complete published participation, title outcomes and official season ranks. Unknown years and unpublished results cannot extend a dynasty or drought.

Postseason runs need a complete winners bracket and verified game durations. Playoff rise and decline compare complete regular seasons and playoff runs within matching scoring and playoff formats.

Points titles and playoff comparisons need complete regular-season fields and verified postseason results. Points records use separate scoring eras when rules, league size or season length differ.

Career milestones start with each team's first season in the published history. Missing seasons or uncertain game order cannot establish a first or fastest achievement.

Annual records require complete regular seasons. Unknown years cannot count as losing seasons or extend a consecutive-season run.

Some seasons lack verified final standings or playoff seeds. Finish records use official finishing positions; regular-season ranks cannot substitute for them.

Player records use verified scores and starting assignments. Some historical rosters lack complete weekly scores or position evidence; those gaps cannot qualify for position or full-lineup awards.

Season totals require a completed schedule and verified scoring periods. Career averages also require complete participation history. Missing seasons cannot become a zero or a smaller average. A verified multiweek total contributes its known duration without inventing weekly scores. Seasons that have not started do not count toward completed-season records.

Some histories contain games whose sequence is incomplete or ambiguous. Those histories cannot qualify for uninterrupted career streaks. Verified full-game totals remain available.
