The Film Room Begin

FAQ

Common questions.

What if I disagree with the report?
Reports are corrected for factual errors (wrong player, wrong game, wrong statistic). Professional judgments stand. We'll discuss any disagreement on the debrief call or during the 30-day follow-up window.
Why are sales final?
The evaluator's time is reserved as soon as film is confirmed usable, and the report is custom work. The only exceptions are a report not delivered on time, or film the evaluator cannot use and that the client cannot replace. See the refund policy for full detail.
How reliable is a projected level for younger players?
Less reliable on the current-level read — less film, bodies still changing — and the report says so plainly. The ceiling projection runs the other way: a longer runway raises what's reasonably reachable, as long as the named development areas get closed. The two-level framing holds both at once — lower confidence on today, more honest upside on tomorrow. Time is a real asset for a younger player, not just a caveat on the number.
What film counts?
At least two full-game films, viewable without a login (or with access instructions). Highlight reels may be included as supplementary material. The evaluation is based on the full games.
Who sees my child's film and data, and how long is it kept?
Only the evaluator. Clip highlights are hosted as unlisted YouTube videos linked from the report; the clips themselves are never shared or indexed. Player data and dispute evidence are kept for 18 months and then purged automatically, unless the family becomes an ongoing client.
Why is the debrief call recorded?
So there is an accurate record of what was discussed, for both the family and the evaluator. Recordings are stored privately with access limited to the evaluator.
Is this a recruiting or placement service?
No. This is an evaluation. It does not include contacting college coaches, promoting the player, or any promise of placement.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within one business day (Monday–Friday, Eastern Time, excluding US federal holidays). A reply may be an acknowledgment with a timeline rather than a full answer.
I live outside the United States. Does that work?
Yes. Clients can be anywhere in the world. We schedule the debrief call around your time zone; the intake form asks for it directly. Payments and reports are in USD.
