‘Classified’ Football Results

[Cloverjo]

With all the hoo ha about the Beeb no longer reading out the classified football results, I was just wondering why it’s called ‘classified’.

Thanks

Just means 'arranged in classes or categories' i.e by division

Thanks, gg.

I was thinking of it as classified in the secret and secure sense.

Ha, well they wouldn't be secret for long after being read out :)
