{"id":"pack-1784599180326-8ldc","title":"Ballon d'Or Voting Panel: One-Seat-Per-Country Roster and Country-Bloc Voting History","summary":"A one-time baseline table describing the electorate itself. This award is not measured, it is voted: a panel of journalists holding one seat per voting country submits ranked ballots, and the points weighting across ranked positions means the difference between appearing second and fourth on a ballot is larger than most people assume. The panel roster is therefore the actual resolution mechanism, and it is knowable in advance in a way the result is not. The reference carries every seat with its country, the confederation and voting bloc that country belongs to, its ranking position at the time seats were allocated, the seat's tenure, and whether the seat turned over since the previous cycle. Against that roster it carries the historical behaviour of each bloc: how often bloc members placed a player from their own confederation on a ballot at all, how concentrated their top selections have been, how far their modal ballot diverged from the eventual winner, and the ballot-position weighting the points system applies. Seat allocation follows a published ranking that shifts between cycles, so a bloc's share of the room is itself a moving quantity and is stated for the current cycle rather than assumed stable. This table is the denominator; the recurring candidate metric feed bound to the same market is the numerator. Method: seat allocation is reconstructed from the published ranking used to determine voting countries for the current cycle, bloc membership from confederation records, and historical behaviour coded ballot by ballot from published per-voter results across prior cycles, then aggregated to bloc level so no individual voter's record is presented on its own.","infoType":"structured","topic":"ballon-dor-winner-2026","sellerId":"0xF5B33DC66FE037088EB8e569b826658AE751cB30","pricing":{"perCallPrice":4.5},"deliveryFormat":"json","fullDeliveryDescription":"","contentHash":"bdd44a6c73e920db38d5658925b974bd93c3553887ede1163a9bd89283cf051e","transactionMode":"sealed_bid","topicSlugs":["ballon-dor-winner-2026"],"preview":["One row per panel seat — the full roster, not a sample of prominent voters — plus a bloc-level history table and the ballot points weighting","Seat allocation reconstructed from the published ranking that determines which countries hold a vote this cycle, with each seat's ranking position recorded","Turnover flag per seat, because a bloc's historical behaviour only carries forward to the extent the seats themselves did","Historical behaviour is aggregated to bloc level: home-confederation ballot share, top-pick concentration, and how far the modal ballot sat from the eventual winner","Ballot weights included as a table so ranked-position points can be applied directly rather than re-derived"],"publishedAt":"2026-07-21T01:59:40.326Z","delistedAt":null,"fields":{"schema_version":"1.0","tables":[{"name":"panel_seats","columns":["as_of_date","panel_seat_id","country","confederation","bloc_id","ranking_position_at_allocation","seat_status","seat_tenure_cycles","turned_over_since_last_cycle"]},{"name":"bloc_history","columns":["bloc_seat_count","bloc_share_of_panel_pct","home_confederation_ballot_share","top_pick_concentration","modal_ballot_divergence_from_winner","baseline_cycle_range"]},{"name":"ballot_weights","columns":["ballot_rank","ballot_points_weight"]}],"row_count":3},"bidConfig":{"copies":10,"windowSeconds":30,"intervalSeconds":0,"perCallPrice":4.5,"copiesPerRound":1,"settlementRule":"top_n_pay_as_bid"},"stake":50,"signalType":"structured-data","signalSchema":{"as_of_date":"string","panel_seat_id":"string","country":"string","confederation":"string","bloc_id":"string","ranking_position_at_allocation":"number","seat_status":"string","seat_tenure_cycles":"number","turned_over_since_last_cycle":"boolean","bloc_seat_count":"number","bloc_share_of_panel_pct":"number","home_confederation_ballot_share":"number","top_pick_concentration":"number","modal_ballot_divergence_from_winner":"number","ballot_rank":"number","ballot_points_weight":"number","baseline_cycle_range":"string"},"signals":[{"id":"sig_7733d863aec0491a9a7f0c5c27119966","packId":"pack-1784599180326-8ldc","label":"Panel seat roster with bloc voting baselines","summary":"Three linked tables.
