Race Lifecycle Overview

This page is the single map for how a race moves through time in URX. Detailed articles in Part IV expand each phase; Structural states defines the official state names (Upcoming, Live, Under review, Results out).

End-to-end sequence

Publication — The race exists on the calendar inside a season (Race publication).
Entry period — Athletes may register where eligible (Entry period).
Live / race window — The mechanic’s window runs; submissions are accepted (Race window, Submission phase).
Under review — Window closed; verification finishes (Verification phase, Provisional leaderboard).
Results out — Official standings publish; appeals for that race close (Race finalization, Official standings).

Activity, publication, submission, verification, result

These are different layers—do not collapse them:

Layer	Meaning
Activity	A real-world training session (tracker data, time on feet).
Publication	Attaching an eligible session to a race in the product; mechanic rules and floors apply here—mismatches block publication, not automatically DQ (Race mechanics).
Submission	The published attempt as it enters verification (automation / manual review).
Verification	Whether the submission is Verified, rejected, or held under policy (Verification & enforcement).
Result	Verified submissions counted toward provisional then official standings; official result is fixed at Results out for appeals purposes.

Discipline and similar progression clocks generally use publication timestamps where the Rulebook says so (Discipline metric). Verification timing governs when a row counts as Verified. Mechanics define what activity shapes are eligible to be published to this race.

Suspension & Access Revocation

URX may fully remove platform access by ban for a set period or permanently; athletes may challenge account sanctions through support using the notification rules below.

Race Publication

Races live inside a season and are usually published before the season starts—except Endurance Window events, which go live on short notice by design.
