The eleventh event of Marble League 2016 was held on the 6th September 2016. The event was Quartet Diving.

Event

Each team descends down a short track before landing on four diving boards. The marbles dive off the board into a pool with a colored floor, each color representing different points. The team earns points based on the color of the tile when they first enter the water and for which tile they end up on. The points are:

• Edges or Red - 1
• Pink - 2
• Orange - 3
• Yellow - 4
• Purple - 5
• White - 6
• Green - 7
• Blue - 10

Each team also earns points based on the quality of the jump. The quality of jump points are between zero and one and are there to break any ties that may arise. The total of the quality of the jump and the entry and finishing positions gives each team their total score. Deductions are also awarded for clipping the edge of the pool, missing the pool or jumping out after a dive. If two or more marbles miss the pool, the team is disqualified.

Results

• Gold: Mellow Yellow
• Silver: Oceanics
• Bronze: Limers

Standings After Event (if current points system was used)

Note: Disqualifications are awarded 0 points. Any teams that were given consolation points were given two consolation points. In Event 2, the Snowballs were awarded 14 points, two for their 4th place finish and two consolation points. There are disagreements about numbers of points for disqualifications and consolation points and the Snowballs' Event 2 finish. This is one way of converting the ML16 results which was chosen after discussions between community members, there are other valid methods.
