Polymarket may issue clarifications for markets when unexpected events or situations arise after trading has started. These clarifications explain how the market should resolve.
Clarifications are Polymarket's official statements used to clear up confusion or disagreement about what the market rules mean. When a clarification is added, it appears as an Additional context update to the market rules.
Clarifications help reduce confusion, settle disputes, and make sure traders understand how the rules will be applied. They keep the process fair and transparent so that everyone can trade with the same understanding.
Clarifications are issued when the rules are unclear, when traders disagree about what counts as a qualifying event, or when new situations arise that were not covered in the original market description.
You can request a clarification in the #polymarket-review channel.
