Open is visible. Official is earned.

Verification Statuses

• Unverified: saved on the open leaderboard, but no accepted proof yet.
• Pending Review: proof has been submitted and is waiting for staff/admin review.
• Verified: accepted by EarnedClub as official platform/community verification.
• Rejected: proof or result did not meet the platform standard.

When Proof Is Required

Proof may be required for strong results, official rank, Official Hybrid Score, suspicious submissions, disputed results, or any performance EarnedClub needs to review before trusting it as official.

Valid Proof

• Clear workout or test video for strength submissions.
• Race result screenshots or public result pages for 5K submissions.
• Strava/activity links or similar proof links where the performance can be reasonably checked.
• Proof that matches the submitted discipline, athlete identity, and performance claim.

Why Proof May Be Rejected

• The athlete, movement, distance, time, or score cannot be checked clearly.
• The proof does not match the submitted result or discipline.
• The video is cut, obscured, manipulated, or missing key parts of the attempt.
• The race/activity proof looks edited, private, broken, duplicated, or not connected to the athlete.
• The result is impossible, unsafe to accept, or inconsistent with platform standards.

Fake Or Manipulated Proof

Fake, edited, stolen, duplicated, or manipulated proof can lead to removed scores, rejected submissions, adjusted rankings, account removal, and loss of official status.

Ranking Changes

Open leaderboards may include visible unverified context. Official rankings and Official Hybrid Scores require verified performances and may change after review, moderation, scoring updates, or new athlete results.
