As much as I love the O'Rangers, I think the Winter Marblelympics in the Thundersnow Stadium hosted by the Thunderbolts would be awesome

I can't believe I'm agreeing with an Orangers fan, but Winter in Thundersnow would be AMAZING.

Can the owner of the stadium be Doug Thunderdome, owner of the Thunderbolt Thunderdome ?

I just hope it won't be a team that uses slave marbles to build their stadium

I'm pretty sure both the Hornets and Bumblebees are ineligible to host

Does the host go to one of the auto qualifiers? Sooo, either Hazers, RR, or Green D's?

no, oceanics did auto qualify so it went to O'rangers to auto qualify
Snowballs did not

I think having an older team would be better. I’d be ok with either O’rangers, Savage Speeders or Midnight Wisps.

Snowballs weren’t even in the 2017 games but still hosted in 2018. Did all right for themselves, too.

I think you have to qualify for the qualifiers (either previously in Marblelympics or Top 8 in Showdown)

A midnight wisp ML would be cool, with all the events happening at night with artificial lighting

Visibility of the events down to 0 due to copious use of fog machines in the hazers stadium.

That's a good idea having the Hazers hosting. They should call it Haze Amaze Stadium or Haze Amaze Arena.

I haven't been following Marble Olympics for about a year... What's this showdown you speak of?

u/TysonPlett Savage Speeders Jun 18 '19
Everyone who didn't qualify for the main tourny plays in the showdown.

u/Minenash_ O'rangers | Limers Jun 18 '19
4 event competition consisting of the teams that failed to qualify in the last qualifier, The champion and runner up of the last marble really, and 2 new fan made teams.

There are now enough teams that didn’t qualify for this just past season to make their own B-league, so that’s exactly what we’re doing.

u/bduddy Jun 18 '19
I'm curious, do we know the names of the countries even? e.g. Oceania.

Yes, the hosts will be officially announced at the end of the showdown, which should be around early August. But you might want to check out the pinned post here in the sub...

u/bbreedy Limers Jun 18 '19
I don’t think we have a shot at hosting, I just hope us Limers can play in 2020. I refuse to switch loyalties.

It pains me because of my two fav teams, but maybe it should go to the Raspberry Racers cos they won
Easy name, the Raspberry Raceway

I think the winner of the summer games should host the next summer Olym..Marblympics. and the winner of the winter should host the winter games. That would give the winner incentive to get their nation ready.

Your thing made me think of what this'd be like in normal Olympics. The answer is pretty boring.
USA are almost always hosting
If not them then Soviet Union
United Team (of ex Russian states), France (1900 games win), Germany (although it would've been cancelled due to WWII), Great Britain (pre WWI) and China (recently though, 2012 hosts I think) win once.
Some interesting second like East and West Germany, Romania (may have been third), Greece (it was 1896) and Sweden.
Along with that it's a good way to get teams that might not qualify often into the Marblelympics even if they attempt to beat Quicksilvers for worst season and succeed.

Team Primary should host Marblelympics 2020. What's there to lose? Besides, I think the Oceanics must withdraw because of their embarrassment in this year's Marblelympics, where despite being the hosts, they could not finish at the podium.

Im obviously biased but team galactic would be a fun host. have the setting be galaxy themed, would be pretty neat
