What the courts are telling us
Dink Digest scores club visibility using public evidence of courts, recurring programs, tournament cadence, neighborhood utility, and source freshness. It does not claim to measure revenue, membership, or player quality.
Why this shift matters for players and organizers
The board is designed to reward useful infrastructure rather than the loudest marketing. A club can move up by publishing a better schedule, not only by adding another logo.
Practical takeaways from the field desk
• Evidence, not vibe
• Public footprint, not audited size
• Recheck every monthly issue
