You can import more items and invite more players to an event while it's active. You cannot update its details, such as its name, description, allowed domains, and prizes while it's active.

3. Finalizing points – If an event contains imported profiling groups, then after its end time, its status changes to finalizing points. When an event is finalizing points, profiling group improvements submitted by players are evaluated to determine by what percentage they improve the profiling group's application's CPU usage. When this process is complete, the appropriate points are assigned to players who submitted profiling group performance improvements.

4. Closed – After the event's end time, and, if the event contains profiling groups after the finalizing points status, the event status changes to closed. When an event is closed, all points are assigned and the ranking of all players is complete. The event administrator is responsible for prize delivery after the event is closed.
