All markets will settle based on the official final result as recognized by the governing body or event organizers. Revisions to officially declared final scores made after market resolution will not be accounted for in determining the outcome.

The governing rules emphasize that Kalshi is not officially connected with the league, and all trademarks remain property of their respective owners.
Prediction market odds on this market often differ from traditional sportsbook lines because they reflect real-time trader sentiment and can price in nuanced outcomes like exact scores, whereas sportsbooks typically offer simpler over/under or spread bets. The trader-driven nature of platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi can lead to sharper or more volatile pricing, especially as new information emerges about team form, injuries, or weather conditions.
On Polymarket and Kalshi, prices can vary due to differences in user base, liquidity, and how each platform weights its trading activity. Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. For instance, one venue might attract more sharp traders focusing on detailed score outcomes, while the other could have a broader base placing general bets. These dynamics often produce divergent implied probabilities for the same event, creating opportunities for arbitrage or insight into shifting market sentiment.
Injuries to key players, weather updates affecting match conditions, and tactical changes announced by coaches can all shift this market. Additionally, early goal momentum during the live match may cause rapid reassessments on Polymarket and Kalshi, especially if one side dominates play or concedes early.
