The sixth event of Marble League 2023 was held on the 28th October 2023, featuring the sixth event, the Tug of War.
Event[]
The official Tug of War pictogram for Marble League 2023, designed by JMR.
The Tug of War event follows similar rules to Jousting. 2 teams of 4 marbles each descend down parallel tracks onto a long, thin arena surrounded by sand. Situated in the center of the arena is a large red block, and the objective of the event is to force the block into the opposing team's half. If the block does not move closer to either team's starting point, tiebreakers are played as needed. The event progresses in a 16-team bracket, and teams that are eliminated before the Semifinals are ranked based on their margin of defeat.
