Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict utilize identical resolution criteria based on second-half goals, tie-breaking, and cancellation procedures.Primary resolution logic: Official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers, with fallback to Flashscore, then Sofascore, then consensus reporting.

Core resolution logic:

The market resolves based solely on goals scored in the second half of regular play plus any added stoppage time.
A 'Draw' outcome occurs if both teams score the same number of goals in the second half.
If the match is canceled without a reschedule, the market resolves to 'Draw'.

Edge cases & clarifications:

Postponement: If the game is postponed, the market remains open until the game is completed.
Data Availability: If official statistics are unavailable within 2 hours, Flashscore is used. If Flashscore is unavailable, Sofascore is used. If neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting is used. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours, the market resolves 50-50 or to 'Draw' where applicable.
