A men's college basketball game between Queens University (NC) Royals and University of North Alabama Lions scheduled for February 18, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. Multiple prediction markets track the moneyline outcome, point spread, and total points scored across Kalshi and Polymarket platforms.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Kalshi and Polymarket align on final score determination, overtime inclusion, postponement handling, and cancellation protocols with 50-50 splits.
Primary resolution logic:
NCAA official game records and final score (https://www.ncaa.com/)
Core resolution logic:
Moneyline: Queens (NC) Royals win resolves to Queens; North Alabama Lions win resolves to North Alabama
Spread -7.5: Queens resolves if they win by 8+ points; otherwise North Alabama
Spread -8.5: Queens resolves if they win by 9+ points; otherwise North Alabama
Over/Under 155.5: Over if combined score is 156+; Under if 155 or less
Over/Under 156.5: Over if combined score is 157+; Under if 156 or less
Final score determination includes all overtime periods
Postponed games: markets remain open until game completion
Canceled games with no makeup: all markets resolve 50-50
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Overtime Resolution: All final scores include overtime periods; no separate overtime markets exist, so standard resolution logic applies to final combined score
Game Postponement: If game is postponed, markets do not resolve immediately; they remain open and settle only when the game is completed on a future date
Complete Cancellation: If game is canceled entirely with no makeup game scheduled, all markets (moneyline, spread, over/under) resolve 50-50 to all participants
Spread Threshold Precision: Spread -7.5 requires 8-point margin for Queens win; spread -8.5 requires 9-point margin; exact thresholds are non-negotiable
Timing:
Resolution occurs immediately after final official score is recorded by NCAA, including any overtime. If postponed, resolution is delayed until makeup game completion. Cancellation resolution is immediate upon official cancellation announcement with no makeup game.
