This event group covers a women's college basketball game between Portland State Vikings and Idaho Vandals scheduled for February 19, 2026. The markets resolve based on which team wins the game, with provisions for postponement, cancellation, and overtime.
Kalshi's resolution logic contains a logical contradiction where both possible game outcomes (Idaho win and Portland State win) resolve to the same result (Yes), making the market fundamentally unresolvable as a winner-selection market. Polymarket's logic is clear and functional.
Hero Tip:
This is a critical data integrity failure on Kalshi. The market cannot function as written because there is no way to distinguish between the two outcomes. Contact Kalshi support immediately to determine if this is a drafting error or if the market actually resolves on whether the game is played rather than who wins. Do not place trades on Kalshi until clarification is received.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Clear binary winner selection: resolves to Portland State Vikings if they win, Idaho Vandals if they win. Cancellation with no makeup resolves 50-50. Postponement keeps market open. Key quote: 'If the Portland State Vikings win, the market will resolve to Portland State Vikings. If the Idaho Vandals win, the market will resolve to Idaho Vandals.'
Kalshi: Logically contradictory: states both 'If Idaho wins... resolves to Yes' AND 'If Portland St. wins... resolves to Yes', creating identical outcomes for mutually exclusive events. Key quote: 'If Idaho wins... then the market resolves to Yes. If Portland St. wins... then the market resolves to Yes.'
