WNBA: Golden State Valkyries vs New York Liberty
About Market
This market centers on which team emerges as the winner of the regular-season WNBA meeting between the Golden State Valkyries and the New York Liberty, hosted by the Liberty in Brooklyn. The fixture arrives in the closing weeks of the 2026 regular season, with both sides positioned inside their respective conference playoff races, making the result relevant to seeding and to a head-to-head series Golden State has controlled so far this year. Traders are assessing the likelihood of each side prevailing, weighing New York's home-court advantage and rest against Golden State's defensive record, its position in a lengthy road trip, and the earlier meetings this season, both of which the Valkyries won.
1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: Resolves GSV if the Golden State Valkyries are recorded as the winning team in the official final score, and NYL if the New York Liberty are recorded as the winning team. A drawn result is not possible — overtime periods are played until a winner is determined. It resolves to Tie only if the game is cancelled outright with no make-up game played; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.
2. Definition of "Win": The winning team is the team with the higher points total in the official final score, inclusive of all overtime periods, as published in the official WNBA box score for the fixture scheduled 27 August 2026, 8:00 PM ET (28 August 2026, 00:00 UTC) at the New York Liberty's home arena in Brooklyn, New York. Quarter scores, halftime leads, and in-game states have no bearing. A forfeit or awarded result counts as a win for the team designated by the WNBA.
3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source is the official WNBA scores page (https://www.wnba.com/scores) and the accompanying official box score. ESPN and Basketball-Reference may be used for corroboration only and never override the primary source.
4. Resolution Timing: The game status is checked from the scheduled tip-off onward, and resolution proceeds once the game is listed as "Final" or "Final/OT" on the primary source. The market resolves no sooner than 3 hours after the official final score is posted on wnba.com/scores.
5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the game is postponed or suspended, the market remains open until the game has been completed, and resolves on the final score of the completed game. If the game is cancelled entirely with no make-up game, the market resolves Tie at $0.50 per share. Partial scores from an abandoned game are disregarded unless the game is officially resumed and completed.
6. Ambiguities and Disputes: Where sources conflict, the official WNBA box score is decisive. Score corrections officially issued by the WNBA before resolution are applied; protests, reviews, or statistical corrections raised after the market has resolved do not reverse the resolution unless the WNBA officially overturns the result before the resolution timestamp in Rule 4.
