What YES means, before anyone can act on it
Read a resolution rule closely enough to know what you are actually judging.
From the record
YES if, before the deadline, a federally regulated prediction-market exchange is legally authorized to offer contracts on professional sporting events under applicable federal law. NO otherwise. Mere proposals, applications, or pending litigation do not qualify.
The criteria below were published before this question opened, and cannot be changed while it is open except by a correction that stays on the record.
What to take from it
Every question here names the source that settles it and the instruction for reading that source. Both are fixed before anyone can act on them, and that order is the whole point: a rule written after the fact can always be written to suit whoever is writing it.
Read the instruction as though you were the person who has to apply it on the day, with the source open and no room left for interpretation. Ask what happens if the source publishes late, or revises its figure, or does not publish at all. A well-written question has already answered those, and its answers are part of what you are agreeing to when you form a view.
If reading the rule changes what you thought the question was asking, you have just learned something more valuable than the answer. That gap between the question as it sounds and the question as it settles is where most confident opinions live.
Go and read the question this opened with in full. A lesson you have not tested against a real record is a lesson you have only agreed with.
