Event 3: Balancing[]
The third event of the Marble League 2020 Friendly Round was held on the 19th June 2020, featuring the third event, Balancing.
Event[]
In balancing, teams of four marbles must roll down a track with no walls on it, referred to as a balance beam. If a marble falls off the track, it's distance from the start will be tallied and counted towards the team's final score. Any marble who reaches the green zone at the end of the track earns the maximum individual score of 130, which is also added toward the team's final score. The team with the highest collective score wins.
