Further benefits
Priority queue
Verified outlets are accredited automatically, with no wait for a decision.
Media database
Your details stay on file. The next request is a confirmation plus crew names.
Interviews upfront
For selected outlets we arrange fighter interviews in the week before the gala.
How we evaluate requests
No request is judged on a hunch. The system runs five automated checks, the person deciding sees the result — and so do you, if you ask about the decision.
Five checks
Recommended
- 01 Domain The site is live, HTTPS is valid, and the domain is older than a few weeks.
- 02 Activity When the last article or video came out, and how many there were in 30 days.
- 03 Email The email domain matches the site domain. A public address is not a rejection, only a flag.
- 04 Author The applicant name appears on the outlet site, on articles or in the masthead.
- 05 Record How previous accreditations ended: coverage delivered, or not.
Coverage after the gala
Within 14 days send links to what was published. A list of URLs in reply to the decision email is enough.
If you do not deliver
The request stays on record as unsettled. The next one goes to manual review and usually gets fewer passes.
The organiser sets the number of passes
We reserve the right to approve fewer passes than requested, or to decline a request, without stating a reason.
