The final round has concluded. The winner was the top seed, "Will I go one day without stalking my ex?", by a pretty large margin. Thank you all for participating in the Cursed Market Tournament and for submitting the most cursed markets you could find.

The final round has begun! I made the form extra cursed for this one: https://forms.gle/Cn2cbL8VcfsgDzsL9

@PlasmaBallin Here is the individual matchup market for the final round. It's exactly the same as this one in terms of how it will resolve, but it will determine the winner by average probability in the case of a tie.

I voted in the Google Form this time so don't look for my vote in the comment section.

I mean, I think by default now the most cursed market is https://manifold.markets/PlasmaBallin/what-is-the-most-cursed-market-on-m

I skipped voting in 1/4 of the matches because I don't want to encourage too many ties.

The winners of Round 1 are now shown on the bracket in the description. I'll resolve the markets and post the vote counts in each individual market shortly. Note that the graphs I'll post do include Eliza's votes, since I added them to the form with an alt account.

Have a very cursed Christmas, everyone!

Bet on the round 1 markets before it's too late!

Since they will be used in tiebreaking to determine which markets advance, I want them to actually have enough traders to reflect voters' opinions.

The poll for Round 1 is out!

You can check with the votes and probabilities below if you think I made a mistake. I'll start the first round soon, once I have everything ready.

Here are the results from the seeding round. I'll have the official seed listing and tournament bracket out soon, along with the markets for the first round.

The poll has been open for about a week, but most of the people who traded on this market haven't voted yet. If you haven't voted, do so soon, since I will probably close it in about a day.

13 people have voted in the seeding round so far. Only one option has unanimous agreement to its being cursed.

You're going to have to do a followup.

The poll for the seeding round is here:

I will also open this market back up, since I already recorded the probabilities of each option at close for tiebreaking purposes.
