IMSA Overall standings - confusion

[Natow]

Hi everyone!

I need some clarification regarding the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series, particularly concerning the overall standings.

I've recently begun following the series, but I find the standings rules a bit unclear to me.

After each race, points are awarded for each class and drivers, whether it's GTP, LMP2, GTD PRO or GTD. However, I'm wondering why not all drivers are included in the overall standings which is shared on an official website.

Thanks in advance!

Drivers aren't always in and Daytona runs more drivers than Sebring and some drivers moved cars between the two. We've had a few times where one driver won the title in the car cause a driver missed a round or was moved to another car

Do I understand it correctly, in overall standing list are included only that drivers who are signed up for the entire IMSA season and it's certain that they are going to take part in every race?

From what I see all drivers are included in the official standings:

Some drivers will have less points later on due to what broadrun96 mentioned as not all of them are full-season drivers and some do endurance races only.

That's what I thought I saw too, only Top 5 seemed to appear on mobile but full list on my laptop

That's so weird, I can see only top 5, not only on my mobile but on my laptop as well. Also checked on three different browsers and the same, only top 5 visible...
