What counts
The market resolves to Yes if Lionel Messi finishes in the top three of the official 2026 men's Ballon d'Or ranking. It resolves to No if he does not reach that position. Readers often mistake the deadline for the award ceremony date instead of the final publication of the official rankings.
Written from Kalshi's resolution rules by the same model that writes our headlines. The rules on Kalshi are what decides it.
