Marble League 2023 Event 13: Elimination Race 🐝

[@boxpattar]

That's gotta be the most insane finish to any Marble League event ever! Literally had me yelling out loud and it wasn't even my team in the final.

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

very similar to the 3m hurdles I felt!

[@Mutsel]

Jeah, I did the same! 😂

[@ibrahimarticov6978]

Same here. Nearly shouted 'holy sh*t!' at that last second.

[@eliezersmarbleraces3137]

@@Matthew-bu7fg I was thinking thing, this should up there with one of the craziest finishes ever.

[@MrStretchification]

13 events in, and not a single team is mathematically eliminated from contention. The team sitting at the bottom of the standings board, can still find a way to win the championship. What a crazy season thus far!

[@Acyclingfan]

They need 3 golds to guarantee victory, but it is technically possible.

The Wisps may not have medaled today, but I'm still proud of the consistency that Waspy ran with. Many good runs from them today.

[@IncredulousPasserby]

That’s been the name of the Wisps’ game the majority of this league. Fantastic individual runs, but a loss at the wrong time or place, or matched up against one of the massive winners. I was really rooting for a medal this event, but this is solid athleticism that the team is putting out, a joy to watch.

[@Gnarlf]

Exactly my thoughts, folks. Since the top teams got eliminated fairly early, a medal would have done heaps for our standing, but still a great showing of Waspy. Mostly top 4 is impressive.

[@tomascalheiros7945]

Right? Just felt so much confidence from waspy in every single run

[@waller1656]

I was surprised Greg did not call out Waspy's run prior to their elimination. That sprint down the bottom edge was astonishing and so fast. For our reserve they did so well and I said to myself once we had gotten to the top 6 that I was happy Waspy got that far. I have hopes for their future in the team; perhaps on the back of this we'll see Waspy come out more often. Frankly, with how much of a coin toss Wuspy's performances are, I wouldn't mind Waspy replacing them.

[@jarooosa]

Waspy got a nasty hit from a big ball bearing after the race in round 10, next round they were eliminated. Bit unfair IMO.

[@VoiceoftheBoa2]

That ending was one for the books!!! Super clutch, incredible comeback!

[@jem_theelf]

Yeah, I hope we can make it up in the last few events. The good thing was that some of our main rivals (pinkies, Speeders) did not perform too good also, so it's going to be a close battle for the championship (but we might have to also keep an eye on the Rojo Rollers now). We're still in contention for the gold #ReturnoftheRacers #RaspberryRobust

[@tarasaurus98]

What a great run Team Momo has been on lately. They've really turned things around since the first half of the season.

[@kimlindseyOH]

What a thrilling event! The gold medalists are an older team - they go back many years - while the silver medalists are newer. I think that had a lot to do with the finish: experience allowed the winner to stay calm and find a way through. ML 2023 is turning out to be the best yet! Any team could still win! And with the hosts still doing well, this may be the year when the host curse gets broken once and for all! Thanks Jelle, Dion, Minos, Woodsy, & the whole JMR team!!

What a finish. Congrats to the worthy winners. The way Rojo Uno shot past Gloomo, was simply impressive. Never give up, right? Now, the wisps end up in top center, ... again. It seems the motto this year is consistency. So many events end up 5th-8th and today Waspy had a very good, consistent event. Yeah, there were two outliers, but otherwise good placements in all his runs. That deserves a shout out in my opinion, since everybody else was all over the place, it seems. And oh boy, 5 different ties in the current standing and still everybody technically has a shot at the crown. This is a very tight season everywhere. Great sports entertainment!

Two observations and maybe a suggestion for future Marble Leagues. This year's standings is crazy. I'm not ruling out any team to win until they're mathematically eliminated, which that might be the next event. The continued drama with Team Galactic is heartbreaking. You never want infighting however with a few events remaining they could focus and pull things off. The suggestion is something called Most Outstanding Marble. Not necessarily the best Marble from the winning team just highlighting the performance from a hardworking Marble. Can't wait to see the finale. Excellent work as always.

They have an MVP marble each year (I think based on highest individual points). So your wish is technically granted ;)
