Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict use identical resolution criteria regarding the timing of the first goal, acceptable data sources, and handling of postponements or cancellations.Primary resolution logic: Official match statistics as recognized by the governing body or event organizers, with a tiered fallback to Flashscore, Sofascore, and credible reporting.

Core resolution logic:

The first goal scored within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time determines the winner.
If no goal is scored within the specified timeframe, the market resolves to "Neither".
Postponed games will have resolution delayed until completion.
Canceled games will resolve to "Neither".

Edge cases & clarifications:

Data Availability: If official statistics are unavailable within 2 hours of the match's conclusion, Flashscore data will be used. If Flashscore data is unavailable, Sofascore data will be used. If neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting will be used. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours, the market will resolve 50-50 (or to "Draw" where applicable).
Score Revisions: Revisions to officially declared final scores made after market resolution will not be accounted for in determining the outcome.

Timing: Resolution will occur as soon as the official final result is available, but no later than 24 hours after the event's conclusion, potentially resolving to a 50-50 split if data is unavailable.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.
