I haven’t got to watch it yet, but there’s always been an opening ceremony.

@Olympian1010 @Grassmarket Who are you guys cheering for this year? I am rooting for the minty maniacs & the hazers. I started cheering for the minty maniacs in qualifying, so I am not a bandwagon.

It's never too late to have an unofficial predictions contest :)

You can tell the teams

 1 You want to support 

 2. Team who you think will win the competition 

 

For specific events starting from E2 you can predict the top 8. Since it's very hard to have a favourite the prediction will be fun as anyone can get it right and anyone terribly wrong on the day.

Ooooooooooooooooo! 
 

I’ve always been an Orangers fan since I started watching. It’s been a rough few tournaments for us lately, so hopefully the Marble League where the team finds it mojo again. 
 

I used to despise the Savage Speeders, but now I support them as my second favorite team. They’ve been hot in the last few Marble Leagues, so they’ll be a threat for the title.

 

I also support Mellow Yellow and Crazy Cats Eyes as well.

Just catching up today. Savage Speeders had a fantastic performance in the qualifiers. Hopefully that translates to the main tournament.

 

Orangers still have a lot of work to do it seems :(

 

Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the teams that made the main tournament this year.

Very intriguing way to start the 2020 Marble League. Opening Ceremony wasn’t my favorite they’ve done, but no one's here to watch that anyways.

 

I really enjoy the balancing event. I think it’s one of the better concepts they’ve come up with. What’s really interesting to me is the disparity between the scores of the qualification round and the main tournament. I have no clue what caused that be honest.

 

Unfortunately, two of my least favorite teams are now leading the standings. Horrible day for most of the teams I support

    • I didn't this year. But the Summer Grand Prix is like Formula 3 to Winter Ski-Jumping being the F1  I mean Zografski of all people won the Grand Prix last summer, which says it all.

    • The squad was reserve, but that's a disgrace. Apart from Favaretto, there's no generational change. Without Volpi and Errigo, we're very weak. After Paris, it was already clear that the USA had clearly overtaken us. Cerioni isn`t the miracle worker he once seemed.
    • Italian women's foil team, with Errigo and Favaretto, lost against Ukraine in quarterfinals 
    • This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Clement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress and we? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke. 
    • Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.
    • Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.
