OPEN COURT · SOURCES
Sources, verification and update methodology
OPEN COURT is designed to be useful to players and easy to verify. We prioritise official and operator-confirmed information, preserve source links where practical, and separate directory coverage from claims about the whole Hong Kong market.
Source hierarchy
1. Official government / venue sources
LCSD, SmartPLAY and official venue websites are preferred for public-facility facts, booking links, opening information and notices.
2. Governing bodies / organisers
Recognised sport organisations are used for programme, league, event and sport-specific information.
3. Operator-verified information
Private venues and businesses may claim or verify their listings and submit corrections.
4. Public references
Other public references may be used for discovery, but material facts should be checked against a stronger source before publication where practical.
Freshness and updates
Venue and business records carry update timestamps, and supported LCSD public information can be refreshed from official/open-data sources. Dynamic OPEN COURT pages use the current public database rather than fixed marketing numbers.
Corrections
If an operator or user spots inaccurate information, OPEN COURT accepts corrections and verification requests. Public listings should not imply endorsement, sponsorship or partnership unless a separate agreement exists.
What our counts mean
OPEN COURT statistics describe the current public OPEN COURT directory. They are not presented as a complete government census of every Tennis or Pickleball court in Hong Kong unless an official source explicitly supports that claim.
