Provisional Leaderboard

While the race is Live, the leaderboard shows provisional positions. Every placement is “as of now”: it reflects verified and pending material in the order the system can honor at that moment.

That provisional layer is what makes the race readable as a contest in motion—who sits on top when the next submission lands, how gaps widen or close before the window shuts. It is not a stunt or a throwaway preview; it is the live face of standings, wired to the same rules that will produce final order—only final order waits until review is complete.

Provisional leaders attract stricter scrutiny: their submissions are examined with extra care. URX recommends that anyone leading or pushing for the top attach the tracker link in the publication flow when the field offers it—clean traceability speeds review and reduces friction at the moments that matter most.

Verification Phase

After the race window closes, submissions move through verification—appeals via support are only possible before Results out.

Race finalization

Finalization is when verification concludes and the race reaches Results out—official standings replace provisional order.
