The listing ladder · JOXSTOX"Listing" means going live on JOXSTOX — not your JRZY profile.
Every athlete has a free JRZY profile the moment they claim it. Listing is different: it's becoming a tradable market on JOXSTOX, which requires economic viability — real demand a walk-on doesn't have. You list when an objective event fires, or when you clear a viability override. Below that, you're reservation-only.
◈
Free JRZY profile
Anyone claims & verifies — stats, tape, score. Not listed; not tradable.
Source · JRZY verification + consent
JRZY only
⚡
Viability override · pre-listed
Not pro yet, but economically viable: projected NBA / G-League pick, a blue-chip recruit (5-star, McDonald's All-American), or a popularity/demand threshold — scanned & combined from recruiting sources, projections & signal.
Source · rankings + projection + demand
Reservation · review
🎓
D1 roster / commit
Verified NCAA roster alone doesn't list you — a walk-on isn't economically viable. Lists only if you also clear the viability override (demand/projection).
Source · roster + viability check
Reservation unless viable
📝
Pro contract
Signed NBA / WNBA / G-League contract — an economically-viable pro level. (Generic overseas pros aren't auto-listed — see below.)

Why a viability gate + overrides? JOXSTOX is a market, so a listing needs real demand behind it — a D1 walk-on isn't economically viable, but a projected pick or a blue-chip recruit (5-star / McDonald's All-American) absolutely is (they reliably matriculate to the NBA or a G-League roster). Objective pro events auto-list; everyone else lists only by clearing the viability override, scanned & combined from recruiting rankings, draft projections, and live demand.
Overseas & lower-tier pros = a JRZY strength, not a JOXSTOX listing. There are thousands of EuroLeague / overseas players who aren't economically viable to trade — but they're hugely valuable to discover. So they get rich JRZY profiles & scouting infrastructure (coaches badly need a better way to find and organize overseas talent), without auto-listing on the public market. JRZY = find everyone. JOXSTOX = trade the viable few.
Listing is a badge of honor — and it's basically permanent. Getting listed means you were economically viable at least once; that fact doesn't expire. Markets are perpetual — a player who's drafted, washes out, resurfaces in the EuroLeagues and builds an active card market stays listed and is entitled to their profile. If interest fades the market just goes quiet — more a living Wikipedia page than a hot ticket, but still worth keeping. There's no refund and no real reason to delist; true removal is a rare edge case (compliance, integrity/fraud, or opt-out), settled at last traded price from float — never a platform guarantee. Anyone who's ever met the bar can list to validate their record and re-activate whatever market they have.
