This prediction market resolves the outcome of the football match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The market has two possible outcomes: “Real Madrid” if Real Madrid wins with a higher final score, or “Bayern Munich” if Bayern Munich wins with a higher final score. If the scores are level or no decisive winner is determined under these rules, the market resolves as “Draw,” with all positions valued at $0.50 per share. The final result includes goals from regular time, extra time, and penalty shootouts if applicable. Resolution relies primarily on data from the Highlightly.net API, with reputable secondary sources consulted in limited cases as outlined below.

1. Market Trading Cutoff: Trading in this market will remain open after kickoff but will close 1 hour after the match's original kickoff time. No new positions may be opened, increased, or modified after this cutoff time, though existing positions remain eligible for resolution under the rules below.
2. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves to “Real Madrid” if Real Madrid is declared the winner with a higher score at the conclusion of the match. It resolves to “Bayern Munich” if Bayern Munich is declared the winner with a higher score. If the scores are equal or the match concludes without a decisive winner under these rules, it resolves as “Draw,” with all positions valued at $0.50 per share. Scores include goals from regular time, extra time, and penalty shootouts if played to determine a winner. There is no betting option for “Draw”; it is a resolution state only.
3. Data Sources: The primary source for match status, scores, and results is the Highlightly.net API (https://highlightly.net/). For verification (e.g., discrepancies or waiting periods), secondary reputable sources may be consulted, including ESPN, BBC Sport, FIFA/UEFA websites, the official league website (e.g., Premier League for English matches), Soccerway, and FlashScore. The primary source prevails unless demonstrably erroneous (e.g., clear factual error confirmed by at least three secondary sources), in which case the consensus from these sources is used. If the primary source is unavailable for over 24 hours post-scheduled end time, resolution uses secondary source consensus or resolves to “Draw” if no consensus.
4. Eligible Resolution States: The market resolves based on the final result only when the match status from the primary source is “Finished,” “Finished after penalties,” “Finished after extra time,” or “Awarded.” In the “Awarded” state, the market resolves to the awarded winner or to “Draw” ($0.50/share) if no winner is specified (e.g., mutual award or explicit draw).
5. Handling of Incomplete or Delayed Matches: If the match status is “Postponed,” “Suspended,” “Cancelled,” “Interrupted,” or “Abandoned,” the market pauses. If the match is not resumed and completed within 30 days, it resolves to “Draw” ($0.50/share). If resumed and completed, it resolves per Rule 1. Participants are notified via platform announcements if resolved early due to confirmed rescheduling in order to create a new market.
6. Post-Waiting Period Resolution: If, after the 12-hour waiting period following the scheduled match end time, the match has not reached an eligible resolution state or no decisive result is available, the market resolves to “Draw” ($0.50/share). Secondary sources are checked during this period, but resolution to “Draw” occurs if no eligible state is confirmed.
7. Discrepancies and Disputes: If primary and secondary sources conflict, the Highlightly.net API takes precedence. Disputes must be submitted within 24 hours of resolution, supported by evidence from listed sources. The organizer adjusts resolution only if a clear error is proven (e.g., API mismatch with three secondary sources). All decisions are final, with explanations and source references provided within 48 hours for transparency.
8. Resolution in Edge Cases: No monetary refunds are issued. In cases where the market cannot resolve to “Real Madrid” or “Bayern Munich” (e.g., due to non-eligible states, technical issues like platform failure, or lack of data), it resolves to “Draw” ($0.50/share). If resolved to “Real Madrid,” “Bayern Munich,” or “Draw,” payouts are distributed accordingly.
9. General Provisions: Match data follows standard football rules (e.g., FIFA or relevant league regulations). Own goals count toward the opposing team’s score. Abandoned matches’ partial scores are ignored unless resumed and completed. Times are in UTC unless specified by the primary source. The market may close to new bets at the organizer’s discretion (e.g., at match start). Attempts to manipulate the market (e.g., coordinated betting) result in bet invalidation and potential account suspension. Rules are fixed post-market creation, and participants agree by betting.
