Contributions make up the bulk of the information found on CFLdb Statistics. Any and all contributions, big or small, are welcome. Before starting any data gathering or major information submissions, please contact CFLdb so we may coordinate efforts and agree on formats and delivery to make the process easy on all sides.
Please submit small contributions (additional information or corrections on individuals or games, for example) using either the contact form or contact email. These contributions are appropriate from family members, or other individuals, who have specific information on an individual player, season roster or other information to share.
CFLdb appreciates contributions of existing, large, bulk research that has aleady been completed. Please use a contact method to confirm the best way to share your contribution. Contributing time to research, document and compile missing information for the database are very welcome. Please see the information below for more details how to proceed.
CFLdb Statistics provides no direction or assignments to volunteers looking to contribute. All contributors are expected to focus on areas that align with their interest, expertise and resources. In order to assist contributors, the Contributor Tools page is available to provide summaries of some of the items missing data in order to direct research efforts where it is needed. For information not listed, please submit an inquiry about the usefulness of your planned research area. For those interested in advanced and difficult research, the Research Assignment series of articles on CFLdb lists mysteries and gaps in the collective record that are in need of research. Contributors may also reach out with offers of data and areas of research to confirm it is of interest and not in the process of being added.
CFLdb Statistics is looking for help to complete the following data:
All contributions must come with an explanation of sources or they cannot be used. Ideally, links to the source, electronic copies of the source information or source reference attribution is provided with donations so the original source can be credited. Initial discussion of contribution can negotiate the best way to manage and submit the contribution.
Due to limited availability to work on the CFLdb family of sites, there is no guarantee when a contribution may be added to the site. The more organizing and data entry required from a contribution, the longer it will take before the data appears on the site.
