Odysseus

Open — no finish number to “close”. The table ranks total verified volume among valid results (Rulebook).

Clock (UTC). Open from 00:00 on 10 November through 23:59 on 15 December. Only swims published to Odysseus in that span count.

After the period ends. 15 December closes the live phase; Results out follows later.

Over a month of optional volume that still has to verify. Easy to picture as “just keep swimming”; harder to hold while Maldives, Dolphin, and Cape Horn pull attention elsewhere.

• Steady accumulation vs uneven blocks — Which pattern life and proof can sustain.

• Front-half vs back-half — Bank kilometres early, or treat Odysseus as a late reservoir.

• Enter vs stay out — An open Navigator line with proof, or no passage on this race.

Odysseus draws an open Navigator line: who owned the published kilometres before mid-December. At Results out totals freeze; until then provisional distance can move.
