Rules (original text)
This football market has two sides, Cardinals for Arizona Cardinals and Rams for Los Angeles Rams. It covers the game between Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams in the 2026 NFL Regular Season, scheduled for 20261018-2005 UTC (the "Contest"). The Counted Play is regulation time and any overtime. The Contest Result is the official record of the Counted Play. Play outside the Counted Play, including any extra time, overtime, shoot-out, or tiebreak, is disregarded, and a winner decided by such play is not the winner of the Counted Play, even if any source treats it as part of the Contest. A participant is the sole winner if the Contest Result names it the sole winner of the Counted Play or, where it names none, if it has the better score or placing under the Contest rules when the Counted Play ends. The Contest Result is a draw if it records a draw, tie, or co-winners, or names no winner of the Counted Play with the scores level when it ends. The market resolves to Cardinals if Arizona Cardinals is the sole winner, and resolves to Rams if Los Angeles Rams is the sole winner. The market resolves to 0.5 if the Contest Result is a draw, records a no contest or no winner, names an unlisted winner, or is not established by 20261019-0205 UTC. A result that ESPN records for the Contest by administrative or rules-based decision, including but not limited to a decision following abandonment, walkover, forfeit, disqualification, or retirement, is the Contest Result if the Counted Play was not completed; a completed Counted Play is resolved on its record alone. A postponed, suspended, or rescheduled Contest, or one replayed because the Counted Play was not completed, between the same participants in the same NFL Regular Season remains the Contest, subject to the same rules and deadline. A result or status is established when ESPN publishes it or, failing that by 20261019-0205 UTC, when a clear consensus of independent reputable reporting available by that deadline supports it; otherwise it is not established. The Contest Result is fixed as ESPN's record stands one hour after ESPN first publishes on any official channel that the Counted Play is complete, including by recording play beyond it, or that a result has been recorded by decision, or at 20261019-0205 UTC if earlier or if it rests on reporting; later appeals, corrections, reversals, or reassignments do not change it. This market is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or affiliated with ESPN or any competition, league, governing body, organizer, team, club, participant, or other person or entity referenced in this market.
