Before You Propose

Before proposing, here are a few things to review.

Check if the event qualifies

When you're unsure whether an event qualifies, check the rules. The rules often include examples of qualifying and non-qualifying events.

Example: In Will Trump and Xi hug on Thursday?, the rules provided examples of what qualified as a hug.

Review the resolution source

Consider whether your evidence comes from one of the listed resolution sources.

Example: In Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau confirmed relationship by October 31?, resolution required confirmation from Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau, or their official representatives.

Look for any additional clauses

Some markets include clauses that delay or prevent immediate resolution.

Example: In Georgia Margin of Victory, the market required official state certification, which took several weeks after the election ended.
