The caption should contain a full description of each photograph and every relevant information. The information needs to be arranged in a consistent and
structured pattern, and should follow a simple RULE:
RULE: Who What When Where. (Photo by Photographer/Pacific Press)
Sports Caption Format:
Player Name, Jersey number and Full Team Name, remember to use an action verb and present tense.
Common examples of a verb: Gestures, speaks to, waves to, walks, walks with, accompanies, arrives, arrives with, smiles for the camera, poses for photographers, brandishes, decapitates, etc… Avoid using passive (non-action) verbs such as is SEEN and is SHOWN.
The opponent name must also be in the caption even if a player from that team is not in the picture. Citing the player's score is always a plus. No nicknames and No Jargon.
