The first half of a college football game between San Jose State and Hawai'i will determine the winner based on points scored in the initial 30 minutes of play. The outcome depends solely on which team leads at the end of the first half, with ties also being a possible result.
The market resolves based on the outcome of the first half of the San Jose St. vs Hawai'i college football game scheduled for Oct 4, 2026. If Hawai'i, San Jose St., or neither team (tie) wins the first half, the respective market resolves to Yes. Only points scored during the first half count. If the game is postponed but starts within 48 hours of the original time, the market remains open and resolves based on the official result. If the game does not start within 48 hours, the market resolves to a fair price. Kalshi is not affiliated with the governing league.

It’s common to see discrepancies, especially before significant events or new information emerges.
