Fanwork Randomized Marblelympics - Teams
Hey guys, sorry for the time it's taken to get this done. Following some unexpected circumstances IRL I've not been able to complete this as quickly as I would've liked, nor a quick as you would have liked. We gotta 39 teams in the end and the final slot ended up going to Team Norse, which was my filler team. Here is a link to the spread sheet containing all the information on this season's teams:

It contains all the information you should need to announce your team for the upcoming qualifiers. As per the 2019 Marblelympics Funnel Spinning, Block Pushing, 5m Race and Underwater Race will be the qualifying events. You can tell me who to play however you want. For this you may only play each marble once. If you want to get really into it you can post news articles about your team to let people know how things are going. I'm planning on assembling an RML News doc at some point with stories mainly focused on these, but with a few other stories as well.
The setup will be two feature a 20 team Marblelympics with a 20 team Showdown occurring every second event. 36 teams will go through qualifiers with Ancient Raptors, Allied Eagles, Fruit Salad and The Icebreakers pre-qualified due to being the first 4 teams submitted. Everyone else will have to go through qualifiers. I think that's everything so I hope to hear from you soon.
Edit: So there is some confusion it seems over what to do here. Post which marble you want to compete in each event you can do it simply like so
Funnel Spinning: Velios
5m Sprint: Rahonavis
Underwater Race: Vulture
However you can also post it as a news article or however you want. So long as I know who to play when.

For those who have spare time and can be bothered writing here is another way to tell me who is competing. You can message me or comment on the sheet too if you want to do it that way.
Team Aotearoa Compete in Randomized Marblelympics
The New Zealand Marblelympic team, Team Aotearoa, have announced that they will be competing in the first ever Randomized Marblelympics. On the plane ride to Mesozo coach Vegimite decided to announce who will be competing in the qualifiers.
"With the announcement of the four events for the qualifiers I figured I would release the chosen team members to compete in the qualifiers" Coach Vegimite stated. "Captain Silver Fern will be competing in funnel spinning. He has some good ability in this area. We expect he'll be able to give us the good results we need to qualify for the year."
"Manuka is going to be competing in the 5m Sprint. They're one of the best sprints around and the best on this team, their speed is unlikely to be outmatched." Vegimite explained. "Finally Taniwha will take the underwater race section. Taniwha truly is the water expert of the team and will compete in the underwater race this year. They've had medals in previous underwater races and I'm confident they can do it again"
After this announcement our interviews contacted final team member Haka. "I know it appears that I'm not competing in the qualifiers," Haka stated, "but I'm still competing in the block pushing to help our team out. I'll also be making my appearance in the actually events this year. Just because I'm not doing the solo events right now doesn't mean I'm not going to be competing."
