Marble League 2021 Event 7: 5 Meter Hurdles

Momomomo from Team Momo wins the event

The seventh event of Marble League 2021 was held on the 6th August 2021, featuring the seventh event, the **5 Meter Hurdles**.

## Event

   The 5 Meter Hurdles deviated from the common practice in the Marble League - this rendition sees marbles sprinting down a 5 meter track, on which rest 7 small hurdles they must jump over. Ramps are placed in front of the hurdles to assist them in doing so. The hurdles are not fixed to the ground, and they are freestanding. The first 2 marbles to cross the finish line move on to the next round.

## Trivia

* This rendition of the Hurdles Race is the first and only one to date that includes a DNF. This DNF was by Iceberg of the Gliding Glaciers.

Knikkegen Marble League

The **Knikkegen Marble League** was a marble sports competition based in Knikkegen which became the Marble League. It was started by Jelle Bakker and was held in their stadium, the Bakker Bowl.

In 2013, the KML grew in popularity due to appearing in a viral TV featurette about the growing popularity of marble sports tournaments. The next year, the KML received applications from around the world, most of which Jelle had to decline. The growing popularity of the KML attracted the attention of Greg Woods, who ran the Fruit Circuit.

In late 2014, Woods met the Bakker siblings, and they began planning an expansion to the KML that would add an international division. In 2015, this plan was expanded further to the entire tournament, eventually becoming what is known as the Marble League.

The history of the tournament was made into a movie, *The Knikkegen Performance*, in 2016 and was starred in and directed by members of the Bluefastics, leading to their invite to Hubelino Tournament 2016.

Jellime

Jellime during Balancing (2016)

**Jellime** is a former member of the Limers. They are one of the four original members of the team, along with Lemonlime, Sublime and Slimelime. They only participated in Marble League 2016. They participated in a single individual event, the Long Jump, and finished out of the points in 9th place. The rest of the events they participated in were team events. They retired at the end of that year's Marble League.

## History

Jellime comes from the Adriatic coast in southern Europe. Jellime and the rest of the Limers began their racing career in the Syndesmarble, a yearly ancient marble racing competition in the city of Sotsevsa. One year, the Limers performed so well that they caught the attention of Greg Woods. Woods invited them to join the Fruit Circuit and they accepted. They started touring with the Fruit Circuit in 2004. They were eventually joined by fellow Marble League teams the O'rangers, the Raspberry Racers and Mellow Yellow. The Limers became rivals with the Raspberry Races due to their geographic proximity and contrasting colors.

When Marble League 2016 was announced, the Fruit Circuit were offered three places. The Limers ultimately won the 2015 Fruit Circuit and qualified for Marble League 2016 along with the O'rangers and Mellow Yellow, leaving the Raspberry Racers behind.

The Limers came in to Marble League 2016 with high hopes. However, the team had a mediocre performance, gaining only two points in the first half of the competition from the second event, the Relay Race. In this time, Jellime came 9th in the Long Jump. They managed to gain points in all but two of the second half events including a bronze medal in Event 11, Quartet Diving. This was not enough, with the team coming 15th overall, only avoiding coming joint last with the Pinkies because of their disqualification in Event 12, Hurdles. The Limers felt that the points system was too heavily weighted towards gaining medals, punishing lower placing teams. They appealed to Jelle and the points system was changed for the following Marble League.

The Limers returned to Tartufo and built a training center outside the city and started a rigorous training regime on the cliffs. Jellime left the team to become an adviser to the Syndesmarble and was replaced by Goolime.

The Limers entered the bid to host Marble League 2019 and were helped by Jellime and the whole Syndesmarble advisory board, but they were not selected.

Marble League 2023 Event 12: Legion March Wave

The Pinkies' winning heat

The twelfth event of Marble League 2023 was held on the 15th of November 2023, featuring the twelfth event, the **Legion March Wave**.

## Event

   In the Legion March Wave, two teams of five marbles each roll down a wave-shaped track. There are 10 waves numbered from 1 to 10, with a red catch tray at the very end. Unlike the Hubelino Tournament variation, there is no 12-point strip, and there is a single lane in the track.

A marble scores points equivalent to the numbering of the wave it stops in, with the following exceptions:

1. Falling into the red catch tray scores 0 points.
2. Leaving the waves results in the individual marble being disqualified. This results in the marble scoring 0 points for the heat, but does *not* automatically drop the team's event points to 0.
3. If a marble is stuck at the peak between 2 waves, they will score the amount equal to the greater amount. For instance, a marble stuck between troughs 4 & 5 will score 5 points.

A teams' score in the event is the sum of their total score across both of their runs. The team with the most points wins. Ties are broken by best single-run scores.
Marble League 2018 Friendly Round

The **Marble League 2018 Friendly Round** took place on 20th January 2018. This was a competition between the hosts of Marble League 2018 and the top three teams from Marble League 2017.

Marble League 2022 Event 2: Balancing

The Savage Speeders in Heat 11

The second event of Marble League 2022 was held on the 4th November 2022, featuring the second event, **Balancing**.

## Event

   In Balancing, teams of four marbles must roll down a track with no walls on it, referred to as a balance beam. The single-row starting gate was replaced with a gate where the 4 marbles are in a row perpendicular to the beam, rather than parallel. To guide the marbles onto the beam, there is a triangle piece with a divider in the center.

If a marble falls off the track, its distance from the start (in centimeters) will be tallied and counted towards the team's final score. Any marble who reaches the green zone at the end of the track earns the maximum individual score of 130, which is also added toward the team's final score. A marble *must* land in the green zone to score 130; any marble that reaches the end of the beam but does not land in the green zone will only score 120. The team with the highest collective score wins. Ties are broken by furthest individual distances.

## Trivia

* With their back-to-back event victories, Team Galactic became the second team to win a gold medal in the first two events of a Marble League. The Savage Speeders also achieved this feat in 2019.
	+ By extension, they also hold the record for the largest lead over 2nd place after two events at 23 points over the Crazy Cat's Eyes.
	+ They also became the 5th team to earn back-to-back Gold medals along with the Balls of Chaos, Midnight Wisps, Savage Speeders, and Mellow Yellow.
* With their score of 190 in this event, the Chocolatiers achieved their first ever last-place finish in a Marble League event.
Hivedrive

Map

The **Hivedrive** is a Marbula One track located in the nation of the Hornets and owned by the Bumblebees. It was the fourth Grand Prix track of Marbula One Season 1. Following the Hornets retirement, the Bumblebees purchased the Hornets organization, and as part of the acquisition of the Hornets, the Bumblebees also bought the Hivedrive along with the Hornets.

## Marbula One

### Season 1

*Main article: Season 1 Hivedrive Grand Prix*
This was a fairly fast racetrack, with three long straights, one of which included a tricky Gravitrax section. The track started out with a turn heading into a straight, with another 90° turn and a hairpin after that. Then again a turn with a short straight, leading into a hairpin with a series of S-shaped turns after that. After that was a long straight, but not without passing through the main feature of the circuit: the Hive, which was the aforementioned Gravitrax section. Here, the marbles were almost guaranteed to lose speed as they ended up bunching up with each other, though they could recover speed by rolling over a speed boost in the middle. Then two fast 90° turns, with the main straight to finish off.

* Pole Position: Snowflake (Snowballs) - 23.99
* Race Winner: Pulsar (Team Galactic) - 5:33.27 (11 laps)
* Fastest Lap: Smoggy (Hazers) - 28.40 (lap 11)

**Cool Moody** is a marble competing in the Marble Rally.

## History

### Pre-Marble Rally

Hailing from the city of Los Marbeles, Cool Moody is known to have one of the brightest personalities in marble sports. Cool Moody was a high school track star and winner of the 2018 Marbelethon.

### 2019

Cool Moody qualified for the 2019 tournament after placing 5th in a qualification race, beating Green Turtle by 00.04s.

In the main tournament, Cool Moody did well too, despite failing to score any points in the first race. The pinnacle performance was a 2nd-place finish in Race 5. Cool Moody finished the season 8th overall with 59 points, which was quite impressive for a rookie.

### 2020

Cool Moody was invited to take part in Marble Rally Season 5 after the Qualifiers were cancelled. After a great start, they ended up placing 2nd in the first race of the season. However, their consistency was a major part of their success, as they led the standings after placing 4th in the next three races in a row, despite a 9th in Race 5, their consistency was still able to keep them at top of the leaderboard with a lead of 4 points. However, despite another 9th in Race 6, they lost the championship lead to Ghost Plasma, who won the race. After a disappointing DNF in round 7 on the snow, Cool Moody recovered with a 3rd place, and remained second. Two poor races followed up with a 2nd place in Race 11, putting them back on top of the standings heading into the final race but despite making a strong recovery up to finishing 4th, they lost the championship narrowly to Superball, who won the race. Still, second place was their best Marble Rally Season ever.

The team earns points based on the color of the sections of targets that they hit - 1 point for the outermost white area, 2 points for the slightly smaller blue ring, 3 points for the smallest yellow ring, and 5 points for bullseyes. Marbles do not need to hit the target directly in front of their starting position.

To prevent ties, teams also lose points for being out of sync, losing points equivalent to 10 times the delta between the first marble making contact with the water and the last marble making contact with the water. The team with the highest collective score wins.

Marble League 2023 Event 13: Elimination Race🐝

## Medals

### Third Place

Yellah - Mellow Yellow

The thirteenth event of Marble League 2023 was held on the 18th of November 2023, featuring the thirteenth event, the **Elimination Race**.

## Event

   In the Elimination Race, 16 marbles race down a track constructed with Gravitrax pieces. The last marble to cross the finish line is eliminated from the event. If at least one marble stops moving, the one stranded closest to the starting line is eliminated, sparing the last marble to finish. The remaining marbles compete in another round with the same rules, and the process is repeated until only one marble remains. The track is also expanded slightly following every 4th round.

## Results

 **OUT** | The marble did not participate in the round as they had already been eliminated from the event.
Marble League 2022 Event 7: Rafting

The Raspberry Racers' winning run

The seventh event of Marble League 2022 was held on the 16th November 2022, featuring the seventh event, **Rafting**.

## Event

   In Rafting, teams of 4 sail down a stream of water in rafts, 1 at a time. The rafts have semicircle depressions in them to hold the marbles.

Each team has two attempts to produce a successful journey down the course, only using their second chance if they get stuck on the first. If a marble falls out of the raft, the team is penalized per dropped marble. If a team gets stuck twice, they are awarded a DNF without any score, and are ranked by how far down the course they reached.

A team's final score is their time required to cross the finish line, plus 1 second per penalty. The team with the lowest score wins. Ties are broken by total penalty count.

## Trivia

* Both teams who set times on their second attempts won medals.
* This is the first race with DNFs in ML22, with the Balls of Chaos and Midnight Wisps getting stuck twice.
	+ There were five continuous DNFs in this race.
Marble League 2020 Event 13: High Jump

Mandarin from the O'rangers sets the current High Jump record

The thirteenth event of Marble League 2020 was held on the 9th August 2020, featuring the thirteenth event, **High Jump**.

## Event

The High Jump event returns similar to the High Jump held during Marble League 2016. The height of the bar that the teams must jump over is raised by 5 mm if a marble succeeds to jump over it. However, if they fail to make their way over the bar, their team can try again, but if the marble can't get over the bar again, they are out. The Marble who jumps the highest wins.

## Results

 XO
 XX | The team missed two consecutive jumps at the
 OUT
height as they were already eliminated from the event.

**Ⅰ**Indicates highest jump cleared.
**Ⅱ**Ties broken in favor of fewest misses, then highest first miss.

## Standings After Event

**Orange:** Not able to win Marble League 2020, but top 3 still possible.
**Red:** Not able to finish in the top 3.

## Trivia

* After the event, $5,000 was donated to St. Louis Area Food Bank in the name of the O'rangers, the gold medalists in the event.
* Due to the O'rangers getting a gold in this event, the following teams have been mathematically eliminated from winning the Marble League: Oceanics, Bumblebees, Green Ducks, Balls of Chaos, Thunderbolts and the Hornets.
	+ Worse still, even though Mellow Yellow obtained a bronze, due to them being 81 points off from 3rd place Minty Maniacs, they were the first team to be confirmed in the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers.
* The highest result in the final table in the video for all teams except the O'rangers shows the height they failed to jump rather than their highest jump.
* This was the first High Jump event in a Marble League since the 2017 edition. And curiously, 2 teams (and even the same individual team members) managed a place in the podium both times: Mandarin from the O'rangers got gold this year and silver in 2017, and Yellah from Mellow Yellow was 1st in 2017 and 3rd in 2020.

As in Jousting, the event progresses in a 16-team bracket.

Marble League 2018 Event 11: Ice Hockey

The Ice hockey rink ahead of Match 2 of Group A: The Midnight Wisps vs. The Pinkies

## Medals

### Third Place

Savage Speeders

**Ice Hockey** was the eleventh and penultimate event of the Marble League 2018. It was held on 26 March 2018.

## Event

Ice Hockey is based on Collision from the Marble League 2016 and Marble League 2017. Two teams ride down a track and collide with each other on the rink, as well as a set of small metallic balls referred to as "pucks". These pucks are placed on the rink: one on each neutral zone faceoff spot, one on the center faceoff spot, and two in the middle close to one side, right at the spot where both teams would first collide. The scoring is one point for each puck that enters the opposition's goal. If a marble rolls into the goal, it won't be counted as a goal. The reserve member of each team acts as the goalie, while the other marbles start on the tracks and race to the rink trying to score while blocking any goals scored against them.

## Knockout Stage

In case of a tie in the knockout stage, the pucks that didn't go in a goal are put back and the teams do a tie-breaker until one of the teams wins.

## Results

Rankings for 5th-16th are based on the results in group stage.

## Standings After Event

**Orange:** Not able to win Marble League 2018 but top 3 still possible.

**Red:** Not able to finish in the top 3.

Marble League 2017 Event 6: Relay Run

The final of the relay event, won by the Savage Speeders

The sixth event of Marble League 2017 was held on the 18th of July 2017. The event was the **Relay Run**.

## Event

Another event seen in Marble League 2016, the Relay Race is all about team work. Unlike last season, the marbles are in tracks next to each other as they race. One marble from each team rolls down part of the track as quickly as they can. They then crash into the next marble setting them off to complete their part of the race. The fourth marble in the team will complete the final part of the course. The first two marbles to cross the finish line advance to the next round.

## Trivia

* Team Primary got disqualified after Imar, the third marble, started too early.
* After the disqualification, there was a huge brawl in front of the stands.
* The Oceanics set a new Marble League Record in the same race of Team Primary's disqualification, and so hardly anyone in the crowd noticed.
* In Semifinal B, the Pinkies were ahead going into the last exchange, but Team Momo had a great exchange and won the race.
* In the same race, the Pinkies were almost overtaken by the Oceanics, who also had a good exchange. The finish between the two teams was incredibly close, with a photo finish needed to decide the outcome. The Pinkies just managed to hold on 2nd place with a margin of 0.01, sending them into the final. It was the closest race in Marble League 2017.
* Despite Team Momo racing with heavy hearts after Momomomo's injury, they managed to claim 2nd place in the final, earning them the silver medal.
