The fifteenth event of Marble League 2022 was held on the 14th December 2022, featuring the fifteenth event, Collision.

Event

The official Collision pictogram for Marble League 2022, designed by JMR.

In Collision, two teams of five marbles each descend down ramps facing each other into an arena surrounded by dominoes. The objective is to knock opposition marbles out of bounds, whilst keeping friendly marbles on the field. There are also four Gravitrax launchers adjacent to the ramps, and ramps with ball bearings perched at the top on both sides of the center line.

The event begins with a group stage, where all 16 teams are divided into four groups of four teams. Each group plays a round-robin competition; 3 match points are earned for a win, 1 for a draw, and none for a loss. After all six matches in a group are complete, the two teams with the most match points in each group move on to an eight-team bracket. Ties are broken by the following criteria, in order:

1. Most Match Points (MP)
2. Greater Point Delta (PD)
3. Most Points For (PF)
