This event group determines which player records the most combined goals and assists (goal contributions) across all rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Multiple platforms offer binary markets on individual players, with a unified resolution framework based on official FIFA statistics and tie-breaking rules.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All three platforms use identical resolution criteria, tie-breaking hierarchy, cancellation clause, and source authority with no material divergence.
Primary resolution logic:
Official FIFA World Cup records; consensus of credible reporting may supplement if official data is delayed
Core resolution logic:
Winner is the player with the highest combined total of goals and assists across all 2026 FIFA World Cup rounds
Goal contribution is defined exclusively as goals plus assists, no other statistics count
In event of tied goal contributions, FIFA's official leader determination takes precedence
If multiple players are tied according to FIFA, the player with more goals (not assists) wins
If goals are also tied, the player whose last name comes first alphabetically wins
If tournament is cancelled, postponed after August 2, 2026 11:59 PM ET, or no official leader declared by that deadline, market resolves to 'Other'
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Tournament Cancellation: If 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled or postponed beyond August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, all markets resolve to 'Other'
Multi-way Tie on Goal Contributions: First apply FIFA's official tie-breaking rules; if FIFA announces multiple leaders, compare total goals scored; if still tied, use alphabetical ordering of last names
Data Delay: If official FIFA data is not available by resolution deadline, credible reporting consensus (major sports media outlets) may be used as fallback source
Player Withdrawal or Injury: If a leading player is withdrawn before tournament end, the next highest contributor becomes the leader; no special exemptions apply
Unnamed Players on Polymarket: Polymarket includes generic 'Player' entries (Player 1-60); these resolve identically to named players if those individuals lead in goal contributions
Timing:
Resolution occurs after the 2026 FIFA World Cup final match concludes and official FIFA statistics are published, with a hard deadline of August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET for official leader declaration
