SUMMARY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR This is a tournament about league standings and good markets. I will vet results and announce them on a post on Manifold by 5/9/2026 (9/5 in America). Ensure to look at the announcements and solve puzzles for extra points. Have fun!
FULL RULES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Manifold Grand Tournament, and it will last for one league season. The hosts are 100Anonymous and Quroe. Entry is free. It is a point-based system where users can earn points by performing well in leagues, creating good markets and solving puzzles. This is the point distribution for each league: https://postimage.me/image/Unz9QShdcc.EB8aZ
1) Each week players can submit markets for analysis, and I will rate the markets based on creativity, value (i.e. how useful is it as a prediction) and fun for 5 points each. Total points will be awarded to the player whose score was highest (all tied players incase of a tie).
2) Similarly, each week I will host a puzzle for you to solve. It will be 20 points to the winner, and if it is solved by a group, the points are split.
4) I will host a live, super hard puzzle on August 31, September 1 or September 2 with the manifold TV feature. Note that the player with the most points wins the event. If there is a tie, it is resolved by highest cumulative profit.
User eligibility criteria ✅:
1. At least 20 comments
2. At least 1 week account age
I reserve the right to disqualify any user for unfair manipulation of the rules above. Rules may change until August 1, 2026, and further if absolutely necessary (for example, if a glitch is found). There will be subjectivity in the ratings, so please do not blame me if I thought your submission was not as good as another. (Do note the points are based on league standings, I added tags because they were required.)
Tournament resolves on September 5th after I vet all the results; unfortunately I cannot display results here because of technical limitations, but I will make a post and DM all participants.

Note that tournament registration will end August 5th, as I started quite late and leagues end a little bit later as well.
When you are rating questions on "value", is this the "value" to you? Basically asking if I should limit tournament questions to one's that are about topics I believe you think are important or if the value is relative to its own topic.
Also will the liquidity of the market affect the points in any way?
@Chimpy Can I introduce you this this amazing app on your phone called "calendar"? It's cutting edge technology.
