The event tracks whether specific keywords are mentioned during a news broadcast, using the actual aired content to determine outcomes. Each keyword has its own criteria for resolution based on verbal mentions by hosts or reporters.
All markets resolve based on whether specified terms are uttered at least a defined number of times by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast. Resolution primarily uses video footage; if consensus cannot be reached, official transcripts serve as the tiebreaker. Only content within the original live broadcast or stream counts—advertisements are excluded, but promotional segments are included. Postponements announced within one calendar day for rescheduling within 14 days keep markets open. The exact word, its plural, or possessive form must be used, with grammatical variations excluded. Proper nouns and noun phrases containing plural nouns are counted. All eligible content from the broadcast is considered for resolution.
