The resolution rules clearly state that the market resolves based on the official outcome of the 2026 American League Championship Series as determined by Major League Baseball. The terms permit an early resolution to "No" if the team is mathematically or officially eliminated from winning the series beforehand. If the series is cancelled or extended beyond late November 2026 without a winner, the market settles as "Other". Because sports outcomes published by the league authority are straightforward, there is little ambiguity or room for arbitrary interpretation.
