From a claim to an official result.
Every result travels the same path. That path is the product.
A team submits the result
The submitting team enters the score. It is recorded as a claim, marked pending, and it moves nothing yet.
The opponent confirms
The opposing team has 72 hours to confirm or dispute. The team that reported a result can never be the one that confirms it.
Disputes go to the league
If the teams disagree, the league adjudicates. Silence past the deadline escalates too. Silence is never treated as agreement.
The server finalizes it
A trusted server-side finalizer is what promotes a result to official. Clients submit, confirm and dispute; they are designed never to write the official record themselves. That separation is what makes standings trustworthy.
