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.
- Not all teams list rosters for games. In these cases, the overall team record may be given. Please be aware the male athlete may not have participated in every game.
- Records may show an additional game compared to the information shown in the link. This is due to the addition of a postseason game not included in the team's record on their team page.
- Male athlete Michael "Michelle" Tat has participated on the Boston Midnight Riders for multiple seasons. It is not known at this time when he joined the team.
- Due to the difficulty of obtaining information on recreational and club teams, many team records are incomplete or missing entirely. These may be listed here as "n/a" when the athlete is known to have been on the roster during the season.
- Athletes may have played additional seasons with their teams that are not shown here. If you have additional information to offer or notice an error in the information listed, please contact the site.
