In rare cases, circumstances occur that were not foreseen at a market’s creation and it becomes necessary to clarify rules after trading has begun. In these cases Polymarket may issue an “Additional context” update to the rules.
<Tip>If you believe a clarification is necessary for a market, the best place to request a clarification is in the Polymarket Discord #market-review channel.</Tip>
