The second event of the Marble League 2018 Friendly Round, Curling, was held on the 20th of January 2018.

Event[]

In curling, one marble from each team rolls down an ice sheet towards the house, a target on the ice where the different rings equate to different point values. The closer you are to the center, the more points you earn. Then one marble from the opposing team rolls towards the house. Each team will send one marble in turn until all four of their team's marbles have been sent. The team with the highest score wins the match and advances to the next round. If there is a tie, the winner is decided by which team is closest to the button.

Button - 5 pts

The third and final event of the Marble League 2018 Friendly Round, the Halfpipe, was held on the 20th of January 2018.

Event[]

The halfpipe features a whole marble team rolling down a halfpipe. All four marbles on 2 teams roll down a chute onto the halfpipe and try to stay rolling for as long as possible while slowly making their way towards the bottom of the halfpipe. The time for the slowest three marbles across the line are added together to give the team their score. The results from each group are combined and the slowest team across the finish line wins.
