# 14-Day Contributor Ranking

> Understand PoA ranking rounds, tie-breaking, and final revalidation.

PoA ranks contributors over a 14-day round. A round begins every other Sunday at **00:00 UTC / 09:00 KST**.

```text theme={null}
Round Start
→ Activities Registered
→ Eligible Evaluations
→ Content Revalidation
→ Final Score Calculation
→ Contributor Ranking
→ AE Distribution
→ Next Round
```

The top 100 eligible contributors can receive AE from that round's PoA Rewards Pool. Round scores restart for the next round; long-term Activity History and Reputation history can remain.

## Tie-breaking

1. Higher Net Score
2. If equal, more Helpful
3. If still equal, fewer Not Helpful
4. If all three are equal, shared rank

```text theme={null}
netScore DESC
helpfulCount DESC
notHelpfulCount ASC
```

When users fully tie, they divide the AE assigned to that rank equally. Example: if Rank 100 receives 100 AE and five users share Rank 100, each receives 20 AE. The tie does not mint extra AE beyond the pool.

## Revalidation before distribution

After the round, RocX checks the original content again. Deleted content is excluded from ranking, not merely assigned zero. Private, unavailable, author-mismatched, malicious, duplicate, manipulated, or policy-violating content can also be invalidated or reviewed. Evaluations attached to excluded content do not count in the final ranking.
