Skateboarding Markets

Skateboarding markets use the skate category id. They resolve manually from contest results, published footage or organiser announcements, with the evidence attached to the market.

Other Manual Markets

Hive, Politics, Gaming, Entertainment, Science, Tech and Other markets can use manual resolution. These categories use proportional cutoff buffers (10% for Hive and 5% for the other categories) with floor and ceiling safety bounds, and raw stake share for profit splitting.
