Publication and update policy

Event facts can change quickly. Before a tournament post is published or promoted, recheck the official source, keep the post clear that MRH is not the organizer, avoid copied rules text, and use only images or flyers with recorded rights. After an event passes, update its calendar row or post with a short recap or next-year watch note rather than letting stale event details sit unchanged.
