-**<font 16px/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Toplists</font>**
 To appear on [[https://the-grid.org/r/?page=newtoplist&rand=137908|Toplists]] you need two updates in the current period and two updates in the previous period. So, to appear in March Toplist you need to be in February Toplist. This is to prevent new users taking the top position.
-Same for monthly and yearly Toplists.
+**To clarify:** \\
+Your __first upload__ in a week on, lets say, Monday 0:01 AM is your start count. Then you upload as often you want to for the week. On Sunday, latest 11:59 PM (23:59), should be your last upload. Then we wait till everybody in the world is on Monday (Thank god for timezones) and start counting the Week Toplist. (Monday's at 14:00).\\
+\\
+Same for monthly and yearly Toplists. (Month is always from the 1st - till the last day)\\
+\\
+All-time-Toplists automatically update every upload.

+**<font 16px/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>When are toplists updated?</font>**
+Top lists are updated continually after (app) updates. Normally that happens anywhere between a few seconds and up to a few minutes after the update. It may also takes more time if there are many agents updating their stats at the same time.\\
+There's also scheduled jobs to take care of a lot of oddities that happens in top lists, for example if one top list update slipped through the cracks. Give it up to three hours if your stats aren't updated as you think they should be (also, give the section "To clarify" a read if you missed it).
-**<font 16px/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Toplist generation</font>**
+Top lists may also be changed, for example, when moderators correct updates from agents for numerous reasons.
-New weekly, monthly and yearly Toplists are generated when the last Timezone on earth has finished the measurement period.

+  * In some cases top lists are changed enough after Top Smurf has been awarded that we're forced to change it. That's normally not the case though.

+  * All time stamps in this text are subject to change, but were correct at time of writing this text.
