This market resolves around Sep 20, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the final result of the Western Michigan vs Rice game is verifiable from credible public reporting. Resolution will depend on whether the game officially goes into overtime according to the official game statistics. The platform will then determine the winning contracts based on the verified outcome. Traders holding contracts on the correct outcome will receive a payout, while those holding contracts on the incorrect outcome will forfeit their investment.
Several factors could influence the price of this market before the game concludes. Any news regarding key player injuries for either Western Michigan or Rice would likely have a significant impact.
