Markets on Polymarket and Kalshi are tracking the binary outcome of this matchup, with resolution based on the final score including overtime.
Kalshi's resolution rules contain a logical contradiction where both possible game outcomes (Valparaiso win and Northern Iowa win) are specified to resolve to Yes, making the market fundamentally unresolvable as written.
Hero Tip:
This is a critical data integrity failure on Kalshi. The second resolution condition must resolve to No (or a different outcome) for the market to function. Contact Kalshi support immediately to clarify whether this is a drafting error or if the market structure is different than stated. Avoid trading until clarification is provided.
