Three newsrooms of the same local radio network, myFM, have covered the program since it reached Canada: four pages from October 2025 to March 2026. So far the Canadian coverage is local radio only.
The Ukrainian trail is the long one: the tournament system has been running there since before the Canadian program existed, and the pages above are the outside record of it.
Three Ukrainian universities keep four pages about the methodology, and one of them is a journal article with a DOI. All of them were written by other people.
