In plain language
First, what happened is recorded. Officials then check and classify the events before validating the result. Calculation and sporting approval are different steps.
In practice
Play ended but evidence remains inconclusive: it needs resolution in validation. Ending play and making the result official are different steps.

Officials, conclusions and historical integrity
Operators capture sporting evidence; Verifiers establish the verified time projection; Head Judges classify, review and validate within the approved workflow. After authoritative validation, only internally authorized CENTRAL profiles may make governed changes within their specific capability and scope. Operator or Head Judge role alone gives no post-validation write authority. Corrections preserve prior evidence and versions.
Zero validated Touches produces NO CONTEST. NO CONTEST is not automatically disqualification, a numeric zero result, a ranking position or qualification. An interrupted Presentation that is ended under the approved non-resumption procedure has no final result; Head Judge-classified evidence up to the pause remains validated as defined. A serious injury preventing a Player from continuing removes the Team from the championship under the approved rule. Its previous official history is preserved.
Opposite relationships are 1↔4 and 2↔3. Distances of 4.0-4.5 m between opposite Players and 2.0-2.5 m between side Players are unofficial positioning references only. They are not simultaneous mandatory limits, measurements of an official court, compliance criteria or grounds for penalties. The diagram represents Player relationships, is not to scale, and does not establish an official area.
