In testing and In validation

Some numbers carry a small label.

What In testing means

We have not confirmed this number yet. Use it as a rough guide.

What In validation means

This number did better than the one we showed before when we checked it on past seasons. We are still confirming it on new games.

What removes the label

If the check on new games goes well, the label comes off. If it does not, the number comes off the site.
