When a tournament finishes the tournament league table will continue to update for at least 1 hour after the tournament, allowing for the collection of more data. WBT allows for a 15 hour 'dispute' window in order for any teams to raise a dispute in regards to the final results. Once this dispute window has closed there is a further 9 hour window (for WBT to investigate any disputes) and the result to become confirmed. At this point any prize winnings will be transferred to the relevant WBT wallets.
