Eligibility
Rankings include verified competitors in an eligible division. League membership and ARE eligibility are related but separate statuses.
Rulebook.
The public operating principles for eligibility, sanctioning, verification, ranking publication, titles, corrections, and appeals.
Sanctioned competition
A result affects ARE standings only when the competitors, event, and bout satisfy the applicable sanctioning and verification requirements.
Verified results
Results and statistics pass through submission, verification, and finalization before changing official records or ranking points.
Published rankings
Champions are displayed separately from numbered contenders. Published snapshots preserve the ranking state and its calculation basis.
League championships
Participating leagues may recognize champions within the same division. League titles do not erase or replace another league’s championship lineage.
Corrections and appeals
Verified errors may be corrected through the published governance process. Appeals are time-limited and do not silently overwrite the audit history.
