Both Polymarket and Predict define the same resolution criteria for the second half result, including the handling of draws, postponements, cancellations, and data source fallbacks.Primary resolution logic: Official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers.

Core resolution logic:

The team scoring more goals in the second half (including stoppage time) wins.

If the game is postponed, the market remains open until completion.
If the game is canceled, the market resolves to 'Draw'.

Edge cases & clarifications:

Data Availability: If official statistics are unavailable within 2 hours, Flashscore data will be used. If Flashscore is unavailable, Sofascore data will be used. If neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting will be used. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours, the market resolves 50-50 or to 'Draw' where applicable.
Postponement/Cancellation: A postponed game will have the market remain open until the game is completed. A canceled game will resolve to 'Draw'.

Timing: Resolution will occur once the second half of the match (including any added stoppage time) has concluded and the official result is available, or within 24 hours using the defined fallback data sources.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.
