This market is for the Round of 32 of Manifold's G.O.A.T. tournament, to determine who advances to the Sweet 16. The purpose of this series of markets is to determine who Manifold thinks is the "Greatest of All Time" (G.O.A.T.).

Resolution Criteria:

Each market will be determined by the greater number of individual holders of either YES or NO at market close. For example, if the market is Winston Churchill (NO) v Pierre-Simon Laplace (YES), Winston Churchill will win if there are 8 individual NO holders, and 7 individual YES holders at the time of market close.

Bot trades do not count towards determining winners.

I will settle any ties, and am happy to offer my opinion on any matchups before the market closes. I am also willing to consider any arguments for/against a contestant before making my decision.

Most markets will run from Sunday-Saturday. The Final Four and Championship will run over Summer Camp and Manifest.


The scheduled close date for each market of the contest is at 11:59PM CST on the below dates:

Round of 32 - May 18th

Sweet 16 - May 25th

Elite 8 - June 1st

Final Four - June 7th
Championship - June 9th

Napoleon sold Louisiana to fund stupid wars that ultimately destroyed France’s armies and earned him death in jail. Winston Churchill won air supremacy over the German military industrial complex from his bath tub drinking scotch.
