Event Contract
An event contract is a contract whose payout depends on the outcome of a specified event or condition. The market rules define what must happen for the contract to settle in a particular way.

The exact event being traded matters enormously. Two contracts that appear to ask almost the same question may have different dates, conditions or resolution rules and therefore represent different trades.
