A practical guide to sports resolution-source review in TEMIRIN using configured records, explicit market identity, current controls, and human review.
August 3, 2026 · 4 min read
Sports resolution review begins with the competition, fixture, participants, scheduled time, and settlement condition written in the Polymarket contract. Identify the official league, organizer, statistics provider, or other authority named by the market before relying on commentary. A live score can be timely while still lacking the final status, correction window, or competition ruling required for resolution.
Create a compact source hierarchy for each fixture. Keep the canonical schedule, official results page, disciplinary notices, and the market’s stated resolution source ahead of secondary reports. Record observation time and the status exactly as supplied: scheduled, delayed, in progress, suspended, postponed, abandoned, provisional, or final. A reviewer should be able to explain why a source was authoritative for this contract rather than merely popular.
Connect evidence with the exact market and outcome identifiers, then read how overtime, penalties, shortened play, abandoned competition, rescheduling, or a specified date boundary affects the question. Two markets about the same fixture can settle differently. One may include extra time while another uses regulation only; one may survive postponement while another requires play by a deadline.
Append official status changes instead of overwriting the earlier record. A provisional result, corrected statistic, appeal, or disciplinary ruling needs its own canonical reference and timestamp. When the named authority has not published the condition required by the contract, keep the evidence state unresolved. A confident scoreboard summary should not erase an ambiguity that still exists in the settlement language.
Time zones and competition calendars deserve the same care as scores. A fixture shown after midnight locally may still fall inside the contract’s stated date elsewhere, and a rescheduled round can reuse participant names. Store the competition identifier, official fixture reference, scheduled zone, and revised time so the reviewer does not connect a result from the wrong meeting.
Show the first observed trigger price and a separately time-stamped current Polymarket price around kickoff, lineup news, a scoring event, or a status change. Public bid, ask, spread, and visible depth can disappear when a market pauses. Present only the recorded values and their times. An in-play quote is research context, not a guaranteed price for a paper record or an outside transaction.
Read the configured public-wallet snapshot for visible exposure to the fixture, league, or related outcomes represented in supported position records. Preserve snapshot time, missing values, and the concentration denominator. Then inspect the sports category and source states, applicable stake cap or maximum-stake override, confidence setting, free-capital percentage, price-move guard, and kill switch as distinct review facts.
A sports paper order remains a user-entered simulation with its own direction, paper price, notional, and creation time. Retain whether the request occurred before play, during an update window, or after a status change, together with per-order, rolling twenty-four-hour, per-market exposure, and portfolio-concentration results. A later mark should not replace the entry assumption with the final score.
Review a sample containing a routine final, postponed fixture, corrected statistic, abandoned contest, and ambiguous clause. Reconstruct the official-source sequence, exact market identity, price observations, reviewer note, and any paper status. Include a no-action case. This exercise reveals whether resolution evidence stayed authoritative when the simple scoreboard story was insufficient and turns the result into a better checklist for the next fixture.
For team review, require the analyst to cite the market rule and official result record used for each conclusion. A screenshot or chat message can help locate a problem but should not replace the canonical reference. Record disagreements as attributable notes and leave the case open until the contract’s named evidence supports a reproducible answer.
Start with the authority named by the contract, such as the official league, organizer, or statistics source, and preserve the canonical result and status timestamp.
Read the market’s exact date and settlement wording, retain the official status update, and record uncertainty until the named authority provides the condition required by the contract.
No. It is a time-stamped public observation. A paper order keeps its own user-entered request and remains separate from rapidly changing bid, ask, spread, and depth data.
