The **Rojo Rollers** are the team that are red with blue/brown stripes introduced in Marble League 2016. The Rojo Rollers ended in sixth place overall in Marble League 2016, but the team has since failed to qualify for the Marble League for four consecutive years.

The team hails from Numerun and competed in Surculo before participating in Marble League 2016.

The team is known for getting the 1st gold medal in Marble League history, but they're also infamous for not being able to qualify for Marble Leagues for four straight consecutive years and their poor showings in Marbula One.

The Rojo Rollers barely escaped elimination in Marble League Showdown 2020 and finally returned to the Marble League by finishing fourth in Group A of the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers.

## Team Members

### Athletes

Rojo Uno, Rojo Dos, Rojo Tres and Rojo Cuatro were the original members of Rojo Rollers. Rojo Cinco was introduced to the team in 2018. Rojo Uno became team captain in 2019.

## History

### Pre-Marble League

 File:Rojo Rollers fans.jpg
The Rojo Rollers come from the outskirts of Numerun, located exactly in the middle of Central America. It is known as the “newest old” city in the world, having been settled for over a millennium before settlers from across the ocean rediscovered it about five hundred years ago. The settlers shared goods from their side of the world, which led to growth for the city. It is now one of the most diverse, economically advanced, and intellectual cities in the world.

Numerun's ancient center, Numerun Antigua, has been preserved from modern urban development, making the city one of the most interesting tourist attractions in the world. There is also a modern city center which encircles the ancient center. One of the most notable landmarks is Colina Umerun, a centuries-old artificially created hill designed specifically for marble racing that, after continual renovations, is still in use today. Racing down Colina Umerun is what inspired both the Rojo Rollers and Red Number 3 to enter marble sports. The team got its name from team members' red homes in Numerun Antigua.

The five current members of the Rojo Rollers used to work in the modern city center. In fact, they were all familiar with each other from the workplace, where they were mathematicians at competing universities. They formally met each other during the city's Milenaria, which is celebrated in Numerun Antigua. The universities decided to go on a historic academic trip together, grouping together departments of various schools. After getting to know each other throughout the day and making several bad math puns, the five went down the Colina Umerun, one after the other, and regrouped at the bottom. Rojo Uno felt amazed after rolling down and expected the others to feel the same way, but the other four marbles shook it off and moved on with the day.

It was not until a few months later, when they met for dinner, that they all began to realize that they felt the same way. Rojo Uno, Rojo Dos, Rojo Tres, and Rojo Cuatro stepped away from their jobs the following semester, and began to seek training. Luckily for them, Numerun was the host city for the Surculo, the most popular marble sports tournament south of Marblopolis. They quickly found a trainer and, in 2012, entered the Surculo.

Meanwhile, Rojo Cinco remained at their job so they could complete a second doctorate degree in sports medicine. During their time at university, they came across Red Number 3, who was completing their master's degree in sports medicine. The two became friends upon finding out, during one of their class sessions, that they were both interested in the Surculo.

The Rojo Rollers started off poorly in the Surculo, finishing within the bottom half in their first tournament. The team were not deterred and improved in the next year, finishing exactly in the middle of the competition. In 2014, their margin of improvement was significant, and they earned a wild card spot in the elite league. Even though the stakes rose in 2015, the Rojo Rollers, steadfast to their passion and skill, improved still, and finished as runners-up to the Jawbreakers at the conclusion of the tournament.

With the announcement of Marble League 2016, Greg Woods extended an invite to the leading teams of many regional marble sports tournaments. This included the top three teams of the 2015 Surculo, which were the Jawbreakers, the Rojo Rollers, and the Quicksilvers. The Jawbreakers and the Rojo Rollers accepted, while the Quicksilvers declined in favor of one more shot at the Surculo. The Jungle Jumpers, who finished fourth, also declined the invitation, so the fifth-placed Chocolatiers were the third team who accepted.

### 2016

 File:RRML16.png
The Rojo Rollers entered Marble League 2016 as strong as they possibly could have, earning the first gold medal in the tournament's history in Balancing. Their points record of 347 cm lasted for three years until the Crazy Cat's Eyes broke it in Marble League 2019. The team were eliminated in the first round of the next event, the Relay Race, but received an extra point as consolation due to construction defect on the uppermost track. They came last during Event 3, Collision, but made up for it in the Sand Rally, with Rojo Uno winning a silver medal. The team were at the top of the standings for a second time. Rojo Dos placed fourth in the next event, the Long Jump, to earn four more points.

 File:ML16E7.png
However, the next event, the Water Race, seemed to have foreshadowed the downfall of the Rojo Rollers, as Rojo Cuatro was disqualified for allegedly blocking one of their opponents. The team lost three points as a result. Rojo Cuatro attempted to appeal the disqualification, claiming they were stuck on the course, but their appeal was denied. This only made the team work harder, and their effort immediately paid off in the next event, the High Jump, where Rojo Dos earned a gold medal. For the third time within the season, the Rojo Rollers were at the top of the standings.

Unfortunately, the Rojo Rollers slipped away later on and only earned one point during the last five events of the season, that single point being from placing eighth in Quartet Diving. They finished Marble League 2016 in sixth place with 30 points. Had the team not been disqualified, the Rojo Rollers would have finished in fifth place, two points ahead of the O'rangers.

### 2017

 File:RRML17Q.png
The Rojo Rollers' return in the Marble League 2017 Qualifiers was a continuation of the downturn they experienced in the second half of the previous season. Although the team finished ninth in Relay Race, they went scoreless for the rest of Qualifiers and finished in last place with only four points. Out of the four original teams who failed to appear in a second consecutive season, the Rojo Rollers were arguably the most surprising on the list. The team had been in the top four of the standings at the end of every 2016 event, except for the last two.

While the Rojo Rollers were experiencing their first extended offseason, they entered into an official partnership with rising Marble Rally star Red Number 3, who hails from Bifornya, a village outside of Numerun. As part of the partnership, Rojo Cinco finally joined the Rojo Rollers as their reserve. The team traveled to Doornse Gat to support Red Number 3 in Sand Marble Rally 2017. The team became very close with Red Number 3, even including their likeness in their logo, and began training together.

### 2018

 File:RRML18Q.png
The Rojo Rollers competed in the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers and were seeded in Group A. They won the first event, Curling, and finished second in the final event, the Halfpipe. Despite such a good performance, the Rojo Rollers failed to qualify for the second year in a row, coming in fifth place with 19 points. The Balls of Chaos, who had missed Marble League 2017 along with the Rojo Rollers, qualified at the top of their group. The Snowballs were already selected to host Marble League 2018, making the Rojo Rollers and the Kobalts the two teams to miss out on two Marble Leagues in a row. The team were disappointed, but they decided to remain together, as did the Kobalts.

The Rojo Rollers initially planned to return to their universities for a semester to teach, but realized that the paparazzi would be hounding them. A few months later, they hosted a joint conference about their experience in Marble League, and broke records for the largest attendance in academic conference history. It was clear that, despite not being in the Marble League for so long, the Rojo Rollers had retained a dedicated fanbase, especially in their home city. Additionally, with the help of Red Number 3, the team began construction of a training facility and marble sports stadium, located in the city of Numerun. The stadium features a gap in the stands, allowing viewers to get a direct view of Colina Umerun. This stadium was submitted as a host for Marble League 2019, but was not picked.

 File:RRML18CR.png
The Rojo Rollers' offseason started well with a win in the Marble League 2018 Consolation Race. However, Rojo Tres placed sixteenth in the 100 Meter Water Race, just behind Yellup of Mellow Yellow. In the Amazing Maze Marble Race, the team placed first in their heat, but finished last in their semifinal group. The team showed promise, but doubt was cast on their ability to follow through in the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers.

Also during this time, the Rojo Rollers released their new logo, featuring a roller skate instead of a red number three pool ball. This disturbed Red Number 3, who thought the team had ended their relationship with them. They met privately to assure them this was not happening. However, when Red Number 3 was exposed as a keychain, the team cut partnership with them before the team's reputation was tarnished.

### 2019

 File:RRML19Q.png
The doubt about the Rojo Rollers' recent performances became their reality in the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers, where they missed out on the Marble League for the third season in a row. The team finished within the mid to bottom half in each of the events, and never made it into the top twelve overall. At this point, the team were prepared for a third extended offseason, and maybe longer. Their new coach, Rojo Cero, thought their morale was gone. They remarked that the five could work well as a team, but only Rojo Uno and Rojo Dos could really compete individually.

The Rojo Rollers rejoiced at the announcement of the Marble League Showdown 2019 and immediately got to training. As the Showdown approached, the team emerged as a favorite to not only advance to the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers, but to win the Showdown overall. However, they did not show it in the first event, the Sand Rally, where Rojo Cuatro finished seventh.

 File:RRMLS19.png
Then came the next event, Collision, the event the Rojo Rollers did not perform very well at three years previously. However, the team surprised the audience by dominating over their group and pulling tight leads over their opponents in the knockout stage. All five of the Rojo Rollers members were on the podium for their first gold medal since the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers. The team rose to second place in the standings, further proving their place in the Marble League.

In the third event, the Funnel Race, the Rojo Rollers put in Rojo Dos. Although Rojo Cuatro had more experience in funnel spinning, they had already participated in the Sand Rally event. The team's gamble with Rojo Dos paid off, with their performance earning them a bronze medal. The team remained in second overall, just one point behind the Snowballs, but most importantly, they managed to secure a spot in the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers.

 File:RRMLS192.png
The final event, Balancing, was the event the Rojo Rollers had the best experience in, but this time, they did not show it. The team, perhaps in an effort to conserve their energy, came in last. They remained within the top three at the conclusion of the Showdown, placing third behind the Hornets, who had overtaken them in the standings. In fact, the Rojo Rollers were one point and one medal ahead of Team Primary, who jumped to fourth after winning a gold medal in the aforementioned Balancing event. Meanwhile, the Kobalts finished the Showdown in tenth place and would remain in the Showdown in 2020, guaranteeing that at least one of the two teams would not get a second season of the Marble League just yet.

During the Rojo Rollers' training session as preparation for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers, Rojo Cero received an official letter from the JMRC, inviting the team to compete in Marbula One Season 1. The team accepted the invitation and had Rojo Uno and Rojo Dos represent them there. With Marbula One as their proving ground, the Rojo Rollers were looking ahead for the upcoming Marble League 2020 Qualifiers.

Following the Showdown, the Rojo Rollers reached out to Red Number 3 once again, and improved their relationship. The Marble Rally athlete hired the team a new manager, Rojo Macho, and gave the team tips heading into Marbula One.

### Marbula One Season 1

 File:RRM1S1.png
The Rojo Rollers had a poor start to Marbula One Season 1 with both Rojo Uno and Rojo Dos failing to earn any points in their opening Grands Prix at the Savage Speedway and the O'raceway, dropping them to last place overall. Rojo Uno started to turn the season around by earning four points at the Momotorway Grand Prix followed by one point for Rojo Dos at the Hivedrive Grand Prix. At the halfway point the Rojo Rollers were in 15th overall.

The Rollers had a better second half to Marbula One Season 1, with Rojo Uno finishing in 5th at Greenstone, earning them 10 points, double what they had earned in the first half. Rojo Dos competed in the next two Grands Prix at the Short Circuit and the Razzway, finishing in 6th at both, earning the team 8 points at each. Unfortunately, Rojo Uno could not replicate this and finished in 10th at the final Grand Prix at Midnight Bay. Despite their better second half, the team finished in 13th overall.

#### Marble League 2020

The whole team returned for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers. Despite setting a record and winning the gold at Marble League 2016, the Rojo Rollers came in last place in the first event, Balancing. This was followed by another bottom half finish in Funnel Endurance. Their best result was a ninth place finish in the next event, Block Pushing, but returned to their poor form with a 14th place finish in the final event, the 5 Meter Sprint. The Rollers finished in 19th overall, failing to qualify for Marble League 2020, their fourth year in a row.

 File:RRMLS20.png
The Rollers once again had to compete in the Marble League Showdown 2020. They started off well, winning a bronze medal in the Relay Run, their first medal in a year. They just missed the podium in the next event, the Halfpipe. However, the team could not keep up their better performances and finished the competiton with two bottom half finishes in the Black Hole Funnel and the Sand Mogul Race. The Rollers finished in 8th, the final qualification spot for the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers.

### 2021

 File:MLPracticeRace2021RRISCHO.jpg
Due to poor performances in both Marble League Showdown 2020 and Marbula One Season 1, the team competed in neither Marbula One Season 2 or Marble League Winter Special. They decided to train hard for Marble League 2021 Qualifiers. Just before Marble League 2021 Qualifiers, they competed in Marble League 2021 Practice Race. It's their first event in nearly 9 months but Rojo Uno proved the fans that the training during the offseason worked and took the lead in this race for a fair amount of time. They eventually finished 2nd out of 28 active teams, having high hopes into the qualifiers.

#### Marble League 2021

The team was put into Group A which consists of 7 teams from Marble League 2020 and chances of them qualifying seemed to be slim among the fanbase. However, the team surprised everyone by finishing top 5 in all of these four events and placed 4th in the group, which was enough to qualify for Marble League 2021, five years since their last Marble League.

The Rojo Rollers got off to a slow start to Marble League 2021, getting 12th in the Wave, placing 8th in Balancing, and finishing 13th in the 5 Meter Sprint. At the Funnel Endurance, however, Rojo Dos won the team's first medal since 2016, getting bronze. Unfortunately the Rojo Rollers fell to last after Hurdles. However, the worst moment for the Rojo Rollers in the season happened in the *very* next event, the Triathlon, and during the event, the Rojo Rollers’ downfall started to begin, as Rojo Tres was pushed off of the track by Blue Eye from the Crazy Cat’s Eyes, causing them to DNF and finish in 15th, and they remained in last place overall. Unfortunately, Rojo Uno could not replicate their 2nd place in the Practice Race and only finished 15th in the Sand Rally. This was the final nail in the coffin for their coach Rojo Cero, as they got sacked in the middle of the event, with Rojo Oro becoming the new coach.
