Event

The official Honeycomb Team Pursuit pictogram for Marble League 2023, designed by JMR.

The Honeycomb Team Pursuit is an enlarged version of the Gravitrax Slalom featured in 2019. 4 teams of 4 marbles each race down identical tracks made out of Gravitrax pieces. A team's timer stops when 3 of their marbles finish the course. The 2 teams with the fastest times (after penalties, see below) advance to the next round.

If exactly 1 marble from a team fails to complete the course, 1 penalty second is added to the team's time in the round. 2 or more marbles failing to finish results in disqualification.

Results

	The team advanced to the next round.
	The team was eliminated.
[Time]	The team was penalized for a single DNF.
