Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All three platforms (Limitless, Polymarket, Predict) apply identical resolution logic: Yes if the specified team wins the 2025–26 NBA Western Conference Finals, No otherwise, and Other if no winner is announced by June 30, 2026. The primary resolution source is the NBA.
Primary resolution logic:
Official NBA announcement of the 2025–26 Western Conference Finals winner
Core resolution logic:
Market resolves to Yes if and only if the specified team wins the 2025–26 NBA Western Conference Finals
Market resolves to No if the specified team does not win the 2025–26 NBA Western Conference Finals
Market resolves to Other if the 2025–26 NBA Western Conference Finals winner is not announced by June 30, 2026
Exactly one team will win the Finals; therefore, exactly one Yes resolution will occur across the team-specific markets on each platform
The Limitless 'Other' market resolves to Yes if any unlisted team wins or if no winner is announced by the deadline; all other Limitless markets resolve to No in that scenario
Polymarket and Predict include an explicit 'Other' or 'any other team' market that resolves to Yes if a team not listed on that platform wins the Finals
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Impossible to Win (Polymarket/Predict only): Polymarket and Predict include language that markets resolve to No if it becomes impossible for a team to win based on NBA rules (e.g., team eliminated from playoffs). Limitless does not include this clause; however, this is a clarification rather than a divergence, as an eliminated team cannot win the Finals under any interpretation.
Deadline Miss: If the 2025–26 NBA Western Conference Finals winner is not announced by June 30, 2026, all markets across all platforms resolve to Other. This is a unified fallback and does not create divergence.
Team Coverage Gaps: Limitless explicitly lists 5 teams (Denver, OKC, San Antonio, Lakers, Timberwolves) plus Other. Polymarket lists 11 teams plus Other. Predict lists 14 teams plus Houston Rockets (15 total). If a team not covered by a platform wins (e.g., a team only on Polymarket wins but not on Limitless), that platform's Other market resolves Yes and Limitless's Other market also resolves Yes, creating no logical conflict.
Single Winner Guarantee: Exactly one NBA team will win the 2025–26 Western Conference Finals. Across all platforms, the sum of Yes resolutions will equal 1 (one team-specific market) plus 0 or 1 (Other market, depending on whether the winner was explicitly listed). This is mathematically consistent.
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon official NBA announcement of the 2025–26 Western Conference Finals winner. If not announced by June 30, 2026, all markets resolve to Other on that date.
