Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict use identical resolution criteria regarding the timing of the first goal, acceptable data sources, and handling of postponements/cancellations.Primary resolution logic: Official match statistics as recognized by the governing body or event organizers, with a defined fallback hierarchy (Flashscore, Sofascore, consensus reporting).

Core resolution logic:

The first goal scored within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time determines the winner.
If no goal is scored within the specified timeframe, the market resolves to 'Neither'.
Postponed matches will remain open until completed; canceled matches resolve to 'Neither'.

Edge cases & clarifications:

Data Availability: If official statistics are unavailable within 2 hours of the match's conclusion, Flashscore data will be used. If Flashscore data 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.
Score Revisions: Revisions to officially declared final scores made *after* market resolution will not be considered.

Timing: Resolution will occur as soon as the official result is available, with a maximum delay of 24 hours due to data source fallback procedures.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.
