6 bundles · 12 layers · 16 findings · 48 questions

Discipline and rules Define the context and its applicable sporting rules.

Identity and classification

Context and discipline identity.

Context identity and discipline placement

Bind the local collection and each discipline to issuer-scoped identities. Recognition is an assertion with scope, not universal ownership of sport.

Which master identifiers distinguish the context, sport and discipline across aliases? identity
Which taxonomy and recognition scope classify this practice? classification
How is an informal or disputed discipline represented without a recognized federation? exception

Rules and variations

Applicable rules and variations.

Applicable rules and local variation

Pin rules by discipline and applicability interval. A source edition is not proof that it governed a particular event.

Which rule edition and approved variations governed this activity? requirement
When did this rule binding take effect and which contests retain an earlier edition? temporal
Which scoring, tie-break and progression provisions need a sport-specific profile? constraint

Competition context Represent competitive structure and fixture changes.

Programme structure

Optional leagues, seasons and rounds.

Competition structure and sanction scope

Represent seasons, divisions and rounds as optional scoped relationships; a standalone meet and a multi-sport programme must remain possible.

Which competitions, divisions and rounds belong to this programme? composition
Who recorded sanction or organizing responsibility and for which scope? authority
How is a standalone contest represented without a league or season? exception

Staging and state

Time, location and contest state.

Fixture scheduling and sporting state

Separate planned and actual timing from contest status; rescheduling preserves identity unless an authorized replacement is declared.

What are the planned, revised and actual start times of the fixture? temporal
Which venue or course reference and conditions apply to this contest? spatial
Which evidence supports postponement, abandonment, cancellation, resumption or completion? lifecycle

Sporting participation Bind participant roles and externally determined admission.

Entries and rosters

Sporting entry membership.

Competitor entries and roster intervals

Maintain individual, pair, relay and team entries separately from people and organizations. Enrollment and participation are distinct.

Which persons or teams occupy each entry and sporting role? relationship
Which roster interval and substitution evidence apply at the contest time? temporal
How are duplicate registrations and reused bib numbers distinguished? identity

Eligibility bindings

Scoped decision and classification references.

Eligibility and classification decision references

Record minimum scoped eligibility and classification assertions. Neither model population nor physiological inference determines admission.

Which competent decision reference establishes eligibility for this category and event? authority
Is the classification or eligibility assertion applicable at the participation date? validation
Which minimum classification fields may this recipient access without underlying medical evidence? privacy

Performance and outcomes Distinguish observations, result dispositions and derived recognition.

Observed and decided outcomes

Performance evidence and result versions.

Performance measurement and observation

A measured or scored performance is evidence with conditions and provenance, not an official result by itself.

What measured value or judged score was observed and under which conditions? measurement
Which observer or instrument produced the performance assertion? provenance
How are missing splits, invalid attempts and corrections distinguished from zero values? quality

Result versions and dispute effects

Store asserted outcomes with source status, effective scope and revision history. Final in a feed does not mean immune to later review.

Is this result provisional, confirmed, disputed, corrected or withdrawn under the applicable profile? state
Which decision or source correction changes the result and which entries does it affect? decision
What source and review evidence justify presenting this result version? evidence

Standings and records

Derived rankings and recognized records.

Standings and ranking snapshots

Treat standings as scoped derived assertions with input versions. A model function may inspect a snapshot but cannot certify the sporting outcome.

Which result versions and period define this standing or ranking snapshot? composition
Which points, tie-break, exclusion and carry-over rules produced the ordering? process
How is a snapshot marked stale after an upstream result changes? validation

Record claim and ratification

A performance claim and its recognition as a record are separate. Athletics provides one bounded example, not universal record criteria.

Which discipline, category and comparison scope define the claimed record? classification
Which conditions and supporting references are required by the selected record profile? evidence
Who ratified, rejected or revoked the record claim and when? authority

Recreation and provision Represent noncompetitive activity and proportionate participation evidence.

Sessions and participation

Activity context and minimal participation evidence.

Recreation programme and session context

Support informal and organized noncompetitive activity without requiring sanction, a season, a winner or individual surveillance.

What activity and participation purpose define the recreational session? definition
Was a session planned, held or cancelled and what evidence distinguishes these states? event
Who stewards the session record when no club or federation is involved? ownership

Minimal participation and inclusion evidence

Use attendance or aggregate evidence proportionate to purpose; registration, attendance, engagement and health benefit are different claims.

What does the participation count measure and how are repeat visits handled? measurement
Which accommodations or access barriers are recorded for programme improvement? access
When should identifiable participation evidence be removed or replaced with aggregates? retention

Safe and inclusive provision

Assurance and sustainability references.

Safe and sustainable provision references

Capture accountable policy and assurance references for spaces, equipment, qualified personnel and environmental impacts. This is not safety certification or clinical advice.

Which safeguarding and risk policies apply to this activity and participant group? requirement
Which competent assurance references cover facilities, equipment and supervising personnel? evidence
Which environmental or resource limits constrain the session or competition plan? constraint

Integrity and exchange Govern sporting effect references and evidence release.

Integrity and rights

Restricted policy and disclosure context.

Integrity policy and disposition interface

Keep report routes and sporting effect references separate from allegations, investigations and findings of misconduct. No automated sanction follows a report.

Which protected reporting route and integrity policy govern a concern? security
What sporting effect has a competent external decision established? decision
Which unresolved or stayed decision must be withheld from automatic result changes? exception

Disclosure, retention and rights

Public visibility of sport does not make every linked record public. Apply adopted law, purpose, data rights and specific disclosure authority; consent is not the only possible basis.

Which fields are authorized for this audience and purpose? privacy
Which minor, protected-person or recreational-participant exceptions affect disclosure? exception
Which retention schedule and lawful hold govern deletion of these local records? retention

Exchange and provenance

Versioned mappings and projection loss.

Exchange mapping and evidence lineage

Align sports data and public event views without claiming lossless interoperability. Preserve issuer identity, source revisions and mapping losses.

Which pinned vocabulary and mapping profile represent this exported sport record? interoperability
Which source revisions and transformation activity produced the projection? provenance
Which statuses, restrictions or relationships are lost in the target representation? validation

What it is Filled

A Sport context is a bounded collection maintained for a declared discipline, competition programme or recreation programme. It groups separately identified sport records without requiring one global sport authority, one season, a federation or a competitive outcome. Its collection identity does not replace child master identities.

In scope

Discipline and ruleset references, local variations and recognition assertions
League, season, competition, round and fixture sporting context
Team and individual entry roles, roster validity and referenced eligibility decisions
Performance observations, versioned results, standing snapshots and record claims
Recreational sessions, minimal participation evidence, inclusion and safe-provision references
Sport-specific integrity disposition references, restricted release decisions and exchange lineage

Out of scope

Person identity masters, medical records, diagnosis and training prescriptions
Organization, venue, equipment, land, tourism, finance and ticketing lifecycles
Anti-doping testing or investigation, disciplinary adjudication, legal enforcement and betting operations
Automatic determination of eligibility, classification, sanctions, official standings or record ratification
Universal taxonomy of all games; esports and nonphysical games require an explicitly reviewed extension
Operational control of hazardous equipment or controlled items; policy references only

Why it exists Filled

Represent a governed sport context across disciplines, competition and recreational participation with evidence-backed sporting roles and outcomes.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

Unlike Person and organization masters: Keep scoped sporting roles and time-bounded references; a team entry is not necessarily a legal organization, and a bib or jersey number is not a person identifier.
Unlike Event and facility models: Sport retains contest status, applicable rules and sporting outcomes; generic event logistics and physical venue maintenance remain externally mastered.
Unlike Health, classification and integrity case systems: Use minimum authorized decision references and effect scope, without reproducing assessments, laboratory evidence or investigation workflows.
Unlike Legacy D5 and unreviewed card supplement: Reconcile as leads only. Remove mandatory season and federation assumptions, single-result cardinality and blanket participant-consent publication rules. No inherited conformance claim survives.

Note: Derived from boundary notes against neighbouring models.

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

Must not

Deny access to participant-level, eligibility and integrity artifacts unless an explicit purpose and field scope authorize it.

Only with a human decision

Adopting-Dimension records policy and its authorized storage operator own deletion execution; referenced person, case and venue masters are not deleted here.
Minor, protected-person and recreational-athlete rules depend on the applicable regime; adult elite disclosure rules are not defaults for all sport.

May

Bind sport context references: Proposed, unimplemented local operation. Does not recognize a sport or sanction a competition.
Record fixture revision: Proposed, unimplemented local operation. Does not reschedule an external event or notify subscribers.
Link entry decision evidence: Proposed, unimplemented local operation. Does not determine eligibility, infer a class or admit a participant.
Record outcome revision: Proposed, unimplemented local operation. Does not adjudicate protests, impose sanctions or certify records.
Inspect standing lineage: Proposed, unimplemented local operation. Does not compute or ratify official standings or award promotions.
Prepare authorized sport view: Proposed, unimplemented local operation. Does not publish, transmit, notify or expand access.

Note: Derived from functions, policies, CRUD and access rules; prohibitions were not authored for agents as such.

Moral aspects Derived, awaiting review

Use a governed sport context namespace with stable child and artifact identities.
Keep child safeguarding, health and classification evidence restricted; store minimum decision references rather than sensitive source dossiers.
Privacy and safeguarding reviewer
Minor, protected-person and recreational-athlete rules depend on the applicable regime; adult elite disclosure rules are not defaults for all sport.
Issuer-scoped collection and child identities; unresolved aliases are explicit.
Purpose, field scope, safeguarding and qualified disclosure.
Local data protection law, safeguarding duties, accessibility standards and retention schedules need qualified review.
Its collection identity does not replace child master identities.

Note: Sentences mentioning harm, privacy, consent or similar, collected from the specification.

Owners Filled

Steward

Declare an accountable adopting-Dimension steward role and issuer namespaces; no named commercial owner is prescribed.

Roles

Context steward: Defines scope, namespace, dependency pins and accountable local policies.
Sporting authority liaison: Verifies issuer and scope of external rule, eligibility and result decisions without issuing those decisions locally.
Evidence editor: Records minimum evidence with revisions and flags unresolved claims.
Privacy and safeguarding reviewer: Approves necessary disclosure and retention bindings for the applicable population.
Mapping reviewer: Checks projections, licenses, redactions and transformation loss.
Authorized reader: Uses permitted views and reports stale or conflicting assertions.
