Additional Clauses

Some markets include additional clauses that affect resolution.

Data Finalization Clause

Sometimes, resolution is delayed for a set period of time to account for data changes.

Examples: earthquake magnitude revisions, final YouTube view counts, athletic event stat corrections

Data Availability Clause

In other cases, resolution waits until the needed information becomes available.

Examples: recorded earthquake magnitude, release of delayed economic reports, publication of interview transcripts

Early Resolution Clause

In single-outcome markets, resolution can happen before the deadline if the result is certain.

Examples: an event being canceled, a candidate dropping out of an election, a company being acquired before its planned IPO

Outcome Elimination Clause

In multi-outcome markets, individual outcomes may be resolved to No once it becomes mathematically or physically impossible for them to occur.

Examples: a sports team being mathematically eliminated from playoffs, a candidate missing the ballot filing deadline, a person becoming ineligible (such as through death or disqualification)
