Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All platforms resolve based on the official match outcome after 90 minutes plus stoppage time on April 18, 2026, with identical handling of postponements and cancellations across Polymarket and Kalshi.
Primary resolution logic:
Official statistics from the EFL (English Football League) as the governing body for the Championship, with fallback to credible reporting consensus if official statistics are not published within 2 hours of match conclusion.
Core resolution logic:
Exactly one of three mutually exclusive outcomes will occur: Watford FC wins, Sheffield United FC wins, or the match ends in a draw.
Each outcome corresponds to exactly one market resolving YES across the platform group.
Resolution is based solely on the result within 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, excluding extra time and penalties.
If the match is postponed, all markets remain open until the match is completed.
If the match is canceled with no make-up game, Watford win market resolves NO, Sheffield United win market resolves NO, and draw market resolves YES.
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon official EFL announcement of the final match result, or within 2 hours after match conclusion via credible reporting consensus if official statistics are delayed.
