AlgoRank is planning to release two GOAT lists: one for relative GOAT (players earn points according to their dominance over their contemporaries) and one for absolute GOAT (players earn points according to their skill compared to the highest absolute peak of all time).
This market resolves to whichever player features at number 1 on the absolute GOAT ranking.
Update 2025-09-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Not peak-only: The absolute GOAT is not the player with the single highest absolute skill rating.
Cumulative value of time at the top: The ranking measures cumulative time at the top, with each moment's value scaled by how close the player's rating is to the all-time absolute peak.
1,000A clarification: this market is not asking which player has the peak absolute skill rating of all time. Rather, this will measure something like "value of time at the top", where the value of being "at the top" at a given time is determined by the highest peak of all time, rather than some fixed amount. So in 2005, for example, Ken would be getting the most value of any player at the time, but that value would be less than Armada would be getting in 2016, due to Armada being closer to the absolute peak rating of all time.
