  Marquee Poker — sitemap.xml (A72 SEO foundations)

  Lists the indexable marketing surfaces. Auth-gated app pages
  (dashboard, control, configure, etc.) and token-gated public pages
  (display, player, cash-signup) are deliberately omitted — see
  robots.txt for the matching block list.

  Maintenance: when a new marketing page ships, add a <url> entry
  below AND verify it isn't blocked by robots.txt. Keep changefreq
  honest — most marketing pages are quasi-static so 'monthly' is
  appropriate; 'weekly' for the pricing page would over-promise
  update cadence.

  Last full sweep: 2026-05-24 (A111 ship adding /events directory
  entry on top of A72's marketing-page set).

  A111 note: per-room pages (/r/<org-slug>) are deliberately NOT
  enumerated here. They're discovered via internal linking from
  /events, which is the canonical entry point for crawlers. A
  follow-up could emit a dynamic sitemap of rooms (Netlify build
  step against the org list) but the static lift would over-promise
  freshness for what's effectively long-tail directory pages.
