Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Polymarket and Kalshi align on the same match, time window (90 minutes plus stoppage time), official resolution source (a-league.com.au), and edge case handling (postponement, cancellation, incomplete matches).
Primary resolution logic:
Official A-League statistics published on a-league.com.au; if unavailable within 2 hours of match conclusion, credible reporting consensus may be used as secondary source.
Core resolution logic:
Over/Under 1.5: Resolves Over if combined goals >= 2, Under if < 2
Over/Under 2.5: Resolves Over if combined goals >= 3, Under if < 3
Over/Under 3.5: Resolves Over if combined goals >= 4, Under if < 4
Over/Under 4.5: Resolves Over if combined goals >= 5, Under if < 5
Spread Sydney FC (-1.5): Resolves Sydney FC if win margin >= 2 goals, otherwise Melbourne City FC
Spread Sydney FC (-2.5): Resolves Sydney FC if win margin >= 3 goals, otherwise Melbourne City FC
Spread Melbourne City FC (-1.5): Resolves Melbourne City FC if win margin >= 2 goals, otherwise Sydney FC
Spread Melbourne City FC (-2.5): Resolves Melbourne City FC if win margin >= 3 goals, otherwise Sydney FC
Both Teams to Score: Resolves Yes if both teams score >= 1 goal each, No if either team scores 0 goals
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Game Postponement: Markets remain open until the game is completed; no early resolution occurs.
Game Cancellation (No Makeup): All markets resolve 50-50 if the game is canceled entirely with no makeup game scheduled.
Incomplete Match: If the game is started but not completed, resolution uses the official final score published on a-league.com.au.
Time Scope: All markets refer only to the outcome within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time; extra time and penalties are excluded.
Source Delay: If official A-League statistics are not published within 2 hours after match conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead.
Timing:
Resolution occurs after the match concludes (90 minutes plus stoppage time) and official statistics are published on a-league.com.au, or within 2 hours thereafter if credible reporting consensus is required.
