When Clarifications Are Added
Clarifications are added when:- a rule could be read in more than one way
- a detail in the description needs to be specified
- an event develops in a way that raises a question about what counts
Where Clarifications Appear
Clarifications appear at the top of the rules section as an Additional context message.Example
For a market to resolve to Yes, the rules might require an official announcement without specifying which announcements qualify. In that case, a clarification might say: “Only announcements from government agencies count.” This adds the missing detail so that the rule is understood the right way.Key Points
- Clarifications add context to explain the rules
- They do not change the market question
- They appear at the top of the rules section as Additional context
- Always read the rules and any clarifications before trading
