WNBA: Team Spoon vs Team Coop
About Market
This market centers on the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game between Team Spoon and Team Coop on July 25, 2026, a single exhibition showcase in which one captain-drafted squad takes the win and the other absorbs the loss. The matchup is a meaningful focal point because it is the league's marquee midseason event, assembling the WNBA's leading talent into two rival rosters that meet under the lights at the United Center in Chicago before a national audience. Traders are assessing the relative likelihood that each team is officially recorded as the winner of the completed game, weighing roster composition, star-power matchups, coaching direction, and the fast-paced, high-scoring nature of All-Star play as the two sides meet in a prime-time tip-off.
- Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market has exactly two outcomes — Team Spoon and Team Coop — and resolves to whichever team is officially recorded as the winner of the completed game. There is no draw or tie outcome for the result itself, as overtime is played until a winner is determined; a 'TIE' resolution applies only under the postponement and cancellation conditions in Rule 5.
- Definition of "Winner" and "Completed Game": The winning outcome is the team credited with the victory in the official WNBA box score once the game reaches a status of Final or Final/OT. A win counts whether achieved in regulation or overtime, and whether decided by play or by an official forfeit/administrative award; in a forfeit, the team awarded the result by the WNBA is the winner.
- Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: the official WNBA website (wnba.com) for the final game result. Secondary sources for corroboration only: ESPN and Basketball-Reference. The official WNBA record is definitive in the event of any discrepancy.
- Resolution Timing: The market resolves once the official final result is confirmed on wnba.com, with a resolution buffer of no sooner than 3 hours after the final score is posted. Based on the scheduled tip-off of 2026-07-26 00:30 UTC, the result is expected to be confirmed and the market resolved by the market end time; all open positions are locked through to resolution.
- Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the game is postponed or suspended, the market remains open and the resolution deadline extends in line with the league's official rescheduling. If the game is not completed within 24 hours of the scheduled tip-off, or is cancelled and not rescheduled within that window, the market resolves 'TIE' and all positions are refunded at their original cost. A suspended game that later resumes is settled on its final official result.
- Protests and Administrative Reviews: Post-game protests, statistical corrections, or administrative reviews do not affect resolution unless the WNBA officially overturns the recorded result. If an official overturn occurs before resolution, the corrected result is used; once the market has resolved, settlement stands.
- Ambiguities and Disputes: In the event of conflicting result reports between sources, the official WNBA record takes precedence. If the primary source is unavailable at resolution time, a consensus of the two secondary sources is used. Any result under active official protest or review remains unresolved until the WNBA issues a final ruling.
