Template:Livescores editnotice/sandbox

Live scores and live updates

Please do not update statistics or scores while a match is in progress. Instead, wait until the match has finished before updating.
At WikiProject Football there is a consensus not to add live scores and not to update any statistics while a match is in progress.
Without live updates it is easier to avoid duplicate information and errors being published on the article.
