Athlete Status

An athlete in RUN carries status on two independent axes that you should not confuse with race entry or access gates.

Exempt

Exempt is the temporary state defined under Institutional integrity: while Exempt is active, race outcomes do not move career level inputs (defense / promotion), Discipline, Accuracy, or URX Points tied to verified race results the way they normally would (Exempt status, Part VI). Exempt is not a ban and does not, by itself, remove the ability to use the product—see Level-Based Access for what actually blocks entry to a given race.

Challenger vs Viber

URX assigns an athlete type—Challenger or Viber—for RUN. That label does not change who may enter a race or bypass level requirements; wildcard rules apply the same to both types.

It does change scoring on race outcome: for Challenger, published race outcomes carry a 1.3 multiplier on the points that URX awards for that result; for Viber, that same outcome multiplier does not apply. Other progression mechanics stay governed by Part VI and the product as implemented.

Division

Division does not determine which races you may enter (eligibility stays level / wildcard in this Part). It also does not change career level thresholds or the core progression math that moves you between QLF→PRO-I (see Part VI Division).

Division does group you in the League by the profile of your best verified performances (speed vs distance trade-offs); AA denotes the top profile band. League status and global ranking windows are covered in Part VI and Part VII—not here.

Words that look alike

• Athlete (account / profile) ≠ Participant (someone who already holds a race entry for a specific race).
