Every option will NOT N/A from there not being a VP debate. Instead, no VP debate before election day would make all options describing something to happen resolve NO and the options describing things to not happen during the debate resolve YES.
Feel free to add answers, just know I may change it to keep the format and rules all consistent or make more sense. DO NOT add options that resolve after the debate ends such as: polls a week after debate, odds of presidential race after debate, etc. However, you can make options about anything that resolves before, during, and at the moment the debate ends.
Each answer will independently resolve to YES only if exactly what is described in the answer happens during the first official Vice Presidential Debate of 2024. Otherwise, the answer will resolve NO.
For all words/phrases: the person or people described in the answer must say the exact words or phrases between the quotes of that respective answer. They must say the total word(s) or phrase(s) with the same exact order and spelling (verb tense and pluralization) of the answer to resolve it to YES. Otherwise, that answer describing someone to say something will resolve NO.
For all subjective options: only I can add subjectively resolved options. I will not bet on these, and base my determinations off official debate polls combined with honest opinions and feelings I hold after the debate. as of now i think walz is gonna cook vance and ill update how i feel in the comments as we get closer to debate.
"Anyone" includes moderators but not the audience (unless specified)
To make the determinations above I will use a transcript of the aired debate in tandem with watching a couple times. Ill resolve within two days of the debate happening.
THIS WILL STAY LIVE THROUGH THE DEBATE AIRING. As the debate happens I will comment potential resolutions I believe to be true and ask if there are any objections. Then I will resolve based on the common truth presented in the transcript, video, and comments.

@Epistemic_Hygiene This isn't how options are usually phrased. You could edit it to something like ""Haiti" or "Haitians" is said by any candidate."
@JacksonSipple Does it have to be in the solar system? Can it be fictional? Can it be part of a word, like if they say "birth"? If the answer to the first question is "no" and the answer to the third question is "yes", it's almost certain to resolve YES because of Su.
Yes whether Tim Walz says "based on a study" or whether JD Vance repeatedly shouts "Based!" when Walz correctly accuses him of trying to destroy women's rights.
I don’t think it should NA because the resolutions would still technically be true even with no debate. IMO, everyone getting paid out and not just refunded is better for the integrity of markets like these and it makes them more fun.
It adds the underlying question, is the debate actually happening, to every single option. Almost turning each into a parlay that includes the odds of the debate happening or not.

@pluffASMR it's probably optimal. i don't think u want a full upgrade because then the cost for adding answers goes up
