WNBA: Washington Mystics vs Phoenix Mercury
About Market
This market centers on which team emerges as the winner of the regular-season WNBA meeting between the Washington Mystics and the Phoenix Mercury, played in Phoenix. The fixture comes in the closing stretch of the 2026 regular season, with the visiting Mystics chasing seeding and home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference playoff picture and the Mercury looking to end a difficult run of home form. Traders are assessing the likelihood of each side prevailing, weighing Washington's recent form on the road against Phoenix's home-court advantage, roster availability on both benches, and the earlier meetings between the two teams this season, both of which Washington won.
1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: Resolves WSH if the Washington Mystics are recorded as the winning team in the official final score, and PHX if the Phoenix Mercury 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, 10:00 PM ET (28 August 2026, 02:00 UTC) at the Phoenix Mercury's home arena in Phoenix, Arizona. 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.
