This was also the very first MarbleLympics to feature a fixed "host". This trend continues to be featured in successive MarbleLympics editions. The [[Snowballs]] were the host team for the 2018 Winter Marblelympics. Located in [[The Arctic Circle]], their arena was run by the [[International Marblelympic Committee|IMC]], but was home to the [[Snowballs]] and the Snowballs' Royal Family.

The ceremony introduced each of the 16 teams as well as the Ice King and Queen, rulers of the Arctic Circle, along with [[International Marble Sport Committee|IMC]] (International MarbleLympic Committee). The anthem of the [[Snowballs]] was played after the torch was lit. The event itself was identical to the 5 Meter Ice Dash featured in the qualifiers.

The team uses a 3D printed bobsled to slide down a course made of snow and ice as fast as possible. If a marble leaves the bobsled for any reason, then the judges will add a certain number of penalty points. During this event, [[Team Momo]]'s sled stopped after they started, so there was a retry. The team also received several injuries.

This event is based on Collision from the 2016 and 2017 MarbleLympics. Two teams of marbles ride down a track and collide with each other on the rink, as well as with a set of ball-bearing "pucks". Each team must try to push the pucks into the goal of the opponent but they must also prevent own goals by bouncing away oncoming pucks. Seven pucks (ball bearings) were used to add more action in less time. If a marble crosses the goal line, it won't be counted as a goal. This is the only event in which all five marbles from a team participate.

Revision as of 14:29, 30 October 2019

Template:Notification ML Rename

The 2018 Winter Marble League was the first winter edition of the Marble League. It contained all new events including Bobsleigh, Curling, Ski Jump, Ice Hockey (like Collision) and other winter-based disciplines. The final tournament contained 12 events where 16 teams competed to win medals and points. The scoring system remained the same as in the Marble League 2017.

Hosting

This was also the very first Marble League to feature a fixed "host". This trend continues to be featured in successive Marble League editions. The Snowballs were the host team for the 2018 Winter Marble League. Located in The Arctic Circle, their arena was run by the IMC, but was home to the Snowballs and the Snowballs' Royal Family.

Qualifiers:

The 2018 Marble League Qualifiers were held in mid-to-late-December of 2017. The Snowballs (as the event's hosts), O'rangers (winners of the ML2017), Savage Speeders (runners-up in ML2017) and Mellow Yellow (3rd place in ML2017) qualified automatically. 24 teams entered the qualification in 3 groups of 8 teams each, where the best 4 teams from each group qualified after 4 events.

No. Event Event Type Air Date
1-A Curling Indoor, Teams 15 December 2017

Notes:

  • The curling event was split into three separate parts. Each group had its own video. These were combined into one video in the 2019 reupload.
  • The Snow Race was originally scheduled for 19 December, but was postponed to 20 December due to technical issues.
  • The 5m Ice Dash was originally scheduled for 21 December, but it was uploaded 22 December due to editing failures.

Event 1: 5 Meter Ice Dash

Event 1 of Marble League 2018 began with the opening ceremony, which featured a beautiful new track created by GrandAdmiralMellacus. The ceremony introduced each of the 16 teams as well as the Ice King and Queen, rulers of the Arctic Circle, along with IMC (International MarbleLympic Committee). The anthem of the Snowballs was played after the torch was lit. The event itself was identical to the 5 Meter Ice Dash featured in the qualifiers.

Event One Results:

15th Thunderbolts Boltu 5.22 5.22 1
16th Minty Maniacs Minty Fresh 5.25 5.25 0

Event 2: Ski Jump

Ski Jump is very similar to Long Jump, but takes place in the snow. The marbles roll down a track and soar into the air, trying to jump as far as possible. The record entering the event is 120.7 cm. The Balls of Chaos won gold by breaking that record with the Hazers coming close.

Event Two Results:

13th Team Momo Momomo 112.8 3
14th Midnight Wisps Wispy 112.4 2
15th Limers Slimelime 112.2 1
16th Savage Speeders Speedy 111.8 0

Event 3: Halfpipe

Event 3 was originally Curling, but the video was cancelled due to disapproval by the IMC. The event was replaced by Halfpipe. A new version of curling was scheduled as a future event barring any production delays. The Halfpipe was structured with two heats but only the slower of the two times was counted.

Event Three Results:

Placement Team Round One Round Two Best Time Points
1st Balls of Chaos 29.49 26.35 29.49 25

16th Snowballs 26.58 26.00 26.58 0

Event 4: Bobsled

The team uses a 3D printed bobsled to slide down a course made of snow and ice as fast as possible. If a marble leaves the bobsled for any reason, then the judges will add a certain number of penalty points. During this event, Team Momo's sled stopped after they started, so there was a retry. The team also received several injuries.

Event 11: Ice Hockey

This event is based on Collision from the 2016 and 2017 Marble League. Two teams of marbles ride down a track and collide with each other on the rink, as well as with a set of ball-bearing "pucks". Each team must try to push the pucks into the goal of the opponent but they must also prevent own goals by bouncing away oncoming pucks. Seven pucks (ball bearings) were used to add more action in less time. If a marble crosses the goal line, it won't be counted as a goal. This is the only event in which all five marbles from a team participate.

The first, second, and third place teams from this Marble League (Midnight Wisps, Savage Speeders and Oceanics) prequalified for Marble League 2019. Because the Oceanics were selected as hosts for the Marble League 2019, the O'rangers filled their vacancy as the fourth team to prequalify.

Trivia

  • This was the first Marble League season to feature a host team, and fittingly, the host team was the Snowballs.
  • This was the first Marble League to be organized by the International Marble Sport Committee.[1]
  • Some of the snow and ice events will be held in Bad Kieinkirchheim, Austria, which is also a real-life ski resort.
  • The Gliding Glaciers, despite their name, failed to qualify or even reach 7th place in their qualifying group.
  • Both Team Plasma and the Crazy Cat's Eyes have roots in the Sand Marble Rally, with Team Plasma being based on SMR2016 champion Ghost Plasma, and the Crazy Cat's Eye being based on Crazy Cat's Eye.
  • Additionally, the Minty Maniacs, Golden Orbs, and the Black Jacks are teams that crossed over from the Hubelino Tournament, although the Golden Orbs had a slight name change, from Golden Wisps to Golden Orbs.
  • The Gliding Glaciers, Hazers, and Raspberry Racers are the only 3 newcomers not based on an already existing series on Jelle's channel. However, commentator Greg Woods has stated that the Raspberry Racers has a feud with the Limers.
  • Going back to the Raspberry Racers, Jelle has said that they are a combination team between both the Bluefastics and the Valiant Violets from the Hubelino Tournament.
  • This marks the second season in a row that the original top 5 teams (Savage Speeders, Mellow Yellow, Thunderbolts, Team Momo, and the O'rangers from [Marble League 2016]]) have all qualified for the main tournament.
  • There was a major controversy when M&H Racing did a similar looking event with the same name, resulting in confusion and accusations. This resulted in an agreement in which M&H Racing changed the name to the Marble Winter Games. Jelle has since asked his fans to be respectful to both parties.
  • This is the first Marble League where two different teams merged into one team, with Team Momo teaming up with Team Primary due to injuries from Momomo and Momomomo, albeit temporary.
  • This was also the first to use hashtags.
  • This Marble League has also a "Search Challenge" in each event where the viewer must spot a certain marble which can be hidden in the stands or somewhere around the track. The difficulty is based on the visibility of the marble and the length of the video.
  • The Midnight Wisps are the first winners not to compete in Marble League 2016.
