Resolution rules

This football market covers CAR points minus ATL points in NFL: Panthers vs Falcons, scheduled for Sep 20 17:00 (the "Contest"). Counted Play is regulation time and any overtime; extra time, overtime, shoot-outs, and tiebreaks count only if expressly included. The Final Value uses only Counted Play. It and 2.5 use CAR points minus ATL points's units and scale. Reported values use published precision. Derived measures, including totals, differences, ratios, and averages, are calculated from underlying statistics without rounding. Unclear units or calculations, undefined values, or zero denominators leave the Final Value unestablished. Completion requires all specified play to conclude. For full-contest scopes, normal endings under rules in force at scheduled start, including mercy rules and unneeded periods, count. Abandonment, retirement, weather-shortening, forfeits, and awarded results do not complete unfinished Counted Play. Postponement, suspension, rescheduling, or replay after incomplete Counted Play retains the named teams or competitors and deadline; team lineups may change. Resumed play continues the record; a full replay replaces it. An individual participates only by entering Counted Play. The market resolves to 0.5 if completion, the Final Value, or participation by every individual to whom CAR points minus ATL points refers is unestablished at fixing. Otherwise, it resolves to Over if the Final Value exceeds 2.5, to Under if below, and to 0.5 if equal. A resolution to 0.5 pays $0.50 per token on either side. Only evidence public by Sep 20 23:00 establishes the trigger time and source contents at fixing; resolution occurs only after that deadline. The trigger is the earliest verifiable official publication time for a record establishing completion, final statistics, and whether each relevant individual participated; absent that, its earliest verifiable capture time. Timestamps must prove those contents existed then. Fixing is the earlier of one hour after the trigger and Sep 20 23:00, or that deadline without a trigger. ESPN's record establishes the facts. A verifiably newer version of the same record supersedes older versions. Across official channels, an explicit correction or designation of authority prevails; other conflicts leave the fact unestablished. Only versions public by fixing determine facts. Only if fixing occurs on Sep 20 23:00 may missing facts be established by at least two independent reputable news organizations' original reports, with no unresolved material contradiction in reputable reporting. Syndicated copies count as one. Reporting cannot override official facts or resolve official conflicts. Changes after fixing and evidence after the deadline do not affect resolution.
