This event group covers a professional KHL (Kontinental Hockey League) ice hockey match between Severstal Cherepovets and Ak Bars Kazan scheduled for March 16, 2026 at 12:30 PM EDT. The markets track the outcome of this single game, with resolution dependent on which team wins in regulation, overtime, or shootout.
Kalshi uses a binary Yes/No resolution structure where both team wins resolve to Yes, while Polymarket uses categorical resolution naming the winning team. Polymarket explicitly addresses postponement and cancellation scenarios; Kalshi does not.
Hero Tip:
Confirm your platform's resolution mechanism before trading. On Kalshi, understand what triggers a No outcome (likely cancellation or indefinite postponement). On Polymarket, note that a canceled game with no makeup resolves 50-50, providing a defined fallback. Both platforms agree on including overtime and shootout results in the final score.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi:
Binary Yes/No market. Both Ak Bars Kazan win and Severstal Cherepovets win resolve to Yes. No explicit edge case handling provided. Key Quote: 'If Ak Bars Kazan wins... then the market resolves to Yes. If Severstal Cherepovets wins... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket:
Categorical market resolving to winning team name. Includes explicit postponement rule (market stays open) and cancellation rule (50-50 resolution if no makeup game). Shootout adds one goal to winner's score for resolution purposes. Key Quote: 'If Severstal Cherepovets win, the market will resolve to Severstal Cherepovets. If Ak Bars Kazan win, the market will resolve to Ak Bars Kazan. If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve 50-50.'
