ORangers falling apart after being beaten by the Oceanics in water. Throwing away an enourmous lead and if the Speeders medal then it's over unless it just happens to be bronze then gold is the only hope for the Orangers.........

Ya go my speeders

what an odd event

i'm about ready to make odds and bet $1 on who's going to win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Oceanics cursed the O'Rangers with that water event heat win. It's in their heads rent free now if the O'Rangers don't win the ML.

I feel bad for my wife, she's a Turtle sliders fan along with the oceanics and they did not make the qualifiers for 2021, 9th place

I'm scared to watch and see if my Snowballs made it.

Spekaing of which, this is a weird question but, does anyone here know where one would go to get physical marbles that looks like these? Like, say I wanted some turtle sliders marbles for example, it doesn't look like Jelle sells them himself, would the best I could do just be search the web and just hope to find some that look alike? Some I'm sure are easier if it's just a solid color but I dunno for the more different ones.

Nice strong finish from CCE. If only they hadn't been so incompetent in the other speed events, they'd have really been contenders. But they get to host next year, hell yeah!

Finally watched the showdown

brutal. Snowballs didnt make it like I feared. A good start falls apart and they never competed again..

and now that I know Turtle Sliders is a team I cant help but put them in my top teams with Snowballs and Minty.

As for the final event

Minty! Minty! Minty! Last place in qualifying but a DOMINANT win in the event! Also teo individual holds for Minty Fresh who was a real overall star for the team. Might be time to talk about who should be captain next year.

Gold to start and end it and a 3rd place in the final standings. Some real rough patches but a great year overall! And the most gold medals!

Just wish it wasnt the Speeders on top...

Finally got around to watching the last few events with my wife

Very glad the tbolts got a medal at least but man that last event was disappointing. Turned a 3rd place start into a 15th place finish

Very glad the orangers didn't win, but would've liked the wisps to take it home

Laugh at my wife because the whole time she thought john oliver was the commentator and i'm like "Do you not listen to the start of everything where he says 'hi everybody I'm greg woods'" LOL

CCE Hype for next year!

The teams that I've decided to cheer for are Thunderbolt's, Green Ducks, Team Momo, Mellow Yellow, and Midnight Wisps. I'm not yet sure which team I'll throw my fandom behind, but that's kind of a general order of how I'm leaning.

I've never paid much attention to this. How does qualification for next year work?

Also I was very pleased to learn that Greg Woods is an Iowa native and graduate of the University of Iowa like myself. I'll cheer for whatever his favorite team is too.

So they did something called "the showdown" a few days ago that you can watch, which is where all the teams that weren't in this year compete, 12 teams. The top 8 in that advanced to the qualifiers, where those 8 teams plus the teams that were in the previous marble league compete to get into the league (aside from the top 3 from this past one and the host, they auto-qualify.) So ultimately there'll be 20 teams competing in the qualifiers for 12 open spots if I did the math right.

Yep, 12 open spots for the qualifiers.

And Greg Woods doesn't have a favorite team - says he likes them all equally.

Yep that made me very happy!

Teams I have some support for are: Minty Maniacs, Snowballs, Turtle Sliders (now that I know they exist), Team MoMo, Rojo Rollers.

I'll also cheer for Chocolatiers (Minty Ally), Green Ducks, crazy Cats Eyes, Hazers, and Balls of Chaos if no one I support is involved in a heat.

My bottom three remain Speeders, Primary, Orangers
