# Dispute Phase

* After the verification phase ends, the dispute period begins. The minimum time for dispute is 12 hours, and the maximum time is 96 hours.
* Users and High Guards can create a dispute by voting FORE as a ‘dispute fee’ (returned to the dispute creator if the dispute is deemed necessary). The dispute phase has four outcomes:
  * No dispute: validation was correct. 
  * Won A/B: Analysts who validated the wrong outcome lose their NFTs and the FORE locked into it. 
    * Successful dispute: Dispute creator receives dispute fee back and 50% of FORE locked into incorrect Analysts’ NFTs (other 50% is sent to the High Guard). 
    * Unsuccessful dispute: Dispute fee is sent to the High Guard (100%), NFTs and FORE from wrong validators burned.
  * Draw (validation power is equal and not zero): the verifier award is divided equally among the High Guard and the creator of the dispute.
  * Invalid (single sided liquidity or no validation): the Analyst award is divided equally among High Guard and the creator of the dispute.
