Resolving & Un-Resolving Questions
Once you know the outcome to a question, you will want to
"resolve" it. This means that participants will be judged and
rewarded based on how they forecasted.
- Find the question you want to resolve from the
homepage>Questions>All Questions list. (From the
list view, if your question is still open for forecasting, you can sort the
list by end date to find it near the top. If your question already closed,
select the Closed tab.)
- Click into the question
- Click the "Admin Options" button near the top right of the
question headline
- Then select Resolve in the dropdown
- On the next screen, click the dropdown>select Answer Occurred and if
multiple choice, select which option occurred
- Click on the date the answer was known and the time (make sure the time
was before the result so noone gets rewarded who forecasted after the
fact)
- You can enter any additional information if you wish, and hit
"Create Resolution"
- If you reload the page, you'll see the results calculating. People
will be awarded a relative accuracy score for the question, as well as
fantasy points (currency) based on their level of risk at the time of
forecasting.
If you made a mistake in resolving a question, you are able to
'unresolve' in most instances:
- Select "ADMIN" from the dropdown under your avatar
- In the left hand nav bar, go to "Resolutions"
- Click on the "Complete" tab to find the question you
incorrectly resolved
- Find the question (and answer option, if several) and click the
"Unresolve" button
- The question will move into the tab "Unresolve Processing"
and then "Unresolve Complete" once finished
- To resolve the question correctly, follow the instructions at the
top
