This event group covers a women's college basketball game between SMU Mustangs and North Carolina Tar Heels scheduled for February 12, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET. 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 (North Carolina win and SMU win) are mapped to the same resolution state (Yes), making the market fundamentally unresolvable and creating a data integrity failure.
Hero Tip:
Avoid trading the Kalshi contract until the platform clarifies the resolution logic. The current wording guarantees Yes regardless of outcome, which violates basic market design. Polymarket's binary winner-take-all structure is logically sound and should be the reference for this event.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Clean binary winner-take-all structure. SMU win resolves to SMU Mustangs, North Carolina win resolves to North Carolina Tar Heels. Handles postponement (market stays open) and cancellation (50-50 split). Resolution based on final score including overtime.
Kalshi:
Yes/No framework with critical flaw: both North Carolina win and SMU win are stated to resolve to Yes, leaving no logical path to No. This creates an unresolvable market condition and suggests a drafting error in the resolution criteria.
