About Market

Market Summary

This prediction market resolves the outcome of the football match between Man United and Burnley. The market has three possible outcomes: 'Man United' if Man United wins with a higher score, 'Burnley' if Burnley wins with a higher score, or 'Draw' if the scores are equal or no decisive winner is determined under these rules. Goals from regular time, extra time, and penalties are all included in the final outcome. The Highlightly.net API is the primary data source for results, with secondary reputable sources consulted only in rare disputes as outlined below.

Rules
  1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves to 'Man United' if Man United is declared the winner with a higher score at the end of the match. It resolves to 'Burnley' if Burnley is declared the winner with a higher score. If the scores are equal or the match ends 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.
  2. Data Sources: The Highlightly.net API is the primary source for match scores, status, and outcomes. Secondary reputable sources (e.g., ESPN, BBC Sport, official league websites, Soccerway, FlashScore) may be used to verify results. Highlightly.net always takes precedence unless at least three secondary sources confirm it is incorrect.
  3. Eligible Resolution States: The market resolves when the match status is 'Finished', 'Finished after penalties', 'Finished after extra time', or 'Awarded'. If the match is 'Awarded', the resolution follows the officially awarded outcome or resolves as 'Draw' if no explicit winner is provided.
  4. Handling of Incomplete or Delayed Matches: If the match status is 'Postponed', 'Suspended', 'Cancelled', 'Interrupted', or 'Abandoned', the market pauses. If the match does not resume and complete within 30 days, it resolves to 'Draw'. If resumed and completed, Rule 1 applies.
  5. Post-Waiting Period Resolution: If 12 hours have passed after the scheduled end time and the match has not reached an eligible resolution state, the market resolves to 'Draw'.
  6. Discrepancies and Disputes: Highlightly.net data is the authoritative source in case of discrepancies. Disputes must be raised within 24 hours of resolution with supporting evidence from listed secondary sources.
  7. Resolution in Edge Cases: If the market cannot reliably resolve to 'Man United' or 'Burnley' due to technical failure or lack of reliable data, it resolves to 'Draw'.
  8. General Provisions: Standard football scoring rules apply. Own goals count for the opponent’s total. Scores from abandoned matches are disregarded unless the match is resumed and completed. All times are in UTC unless otherwise specified. Market rules are locked once created.
