This section provides context and methodology details for the data presented:
- **Data Scope:** This table focuses exclusively on each instance where a Male athlete has participated on a women's team. Win-loss records for each team are recorded for the games the male athlete has participated in. If exact games are unknown, the team's general record will be used instead. Each instance represents lost playing time or a lost roster spot to a female athlete for the entire season and each win consitutes an unfair loss to the opposing team due to the advantage conferred by the male athlete.
- **Link Verification:** The provided links are to external sources. These sources include official results directly from the event webpages, sites that aggregrate athletic results from various organizations (such as MileSplit.com), news stories, and social media posts from team and athlete accounts. Archived links (Ar.) are provided in the case that these results are removed or websites are no longer functional. Not all pages were able to be archived. When possible, archived links can most often be found in the second (2) link.
- **Athlete Verification:** Athletes have been verified as male through the use of public sources: news articles, personal declarations from the athletes, name changes, past photos, and other public records including job history, school records, and family records. In the case of males with DSDs, athletes are included if they have previously failed a sex/gender test.
- **Athlete Identification:** "DSD" refers to male athletes with a disorder of sexual development. These athletes are male but may have been mistaken for female at birth due to underdeveloped male genitalia. "Trans-identified" refers to male athletes who have had healthy male development but deny that they are men and boys and claim to be something else, typically "women" or "nonbinary". "Other" refers to males who do not belong in either of the former categories but participate on female teams due to rule exceptions.
- **Sorting:** The table is sorted by **Date (newest first)** by default.
Other Notes:
- "Conf. W-L" refers to the win-loss record of conference or league games only.
- * Team record differs slightly from what is shown in the source due to the athlete not competing in every tournament on the schedule or additional post-season games added.
- Win-loss records here reflect women's teams only. Mixed team records may possibly be added at a later date but have not been recorded at this time.
- Many team records are missing or incomplete. There are also many teams athletes have participated on that remain unknown at this time along with athletes who have not yet been discovered. As such, the numbers represented here are a severe underestimate of the total games male athletes have participated in and the total number of wins they have unfairly contributed to.
- Male athlete Eddie "Addie" Ruter missed part of the 2023-2024 season due to a knee surgery. He returned to play on January 30th. For this reason, his W-L record shown here differs from the overall team record.
- While a specific record does not exist for the Isfeld Secondary team that male athlete Declan "Harriete" Mackenzie participated on, it can be inferred that the 2020 and 2018 teams had winning records as they qualified for the Vancouver Island championships both years.
