Five rounds have come and gone in the Marble Rally Tournament and this is an elimination round.
The bottom 13 marbles, as you see, will be eliminated as they stand in the World Championship
so it makes this race extremely important,
especially for the likes of somebody who is leading right now, Blazing Fireball. He's right on that cusp.
Sitting in 19th spot, he needs a good finish here.
Summer Sky trailing him just behind, Oddball also up there, a couple of blue marbles,
Silver Bolt taking his turn at the lead. Ghost Plasma, the championship leader right now,
both he and Dragon's Egg look to be a little bit farther back in the order.
Yeah, you just saw him disappear off the right-hand side of the screen back there. Hard off that banking.
Cobra and Deep Ocean are two marbles who are yet to score any points through these first five rounds
so they basically need a one-two if they hope to move on. But it's Silver Bolt leading the way.
Several lead changes right there, several position changes, excuse me.
Blazing Fireball falls back into third spot and it's Summer Sky back in fourth in front of, I believe Mocha...
Eh, Mocha Madness jumped a couple of spots as I say that. Slimer is making up some good ground.
As we take a look back up front, it's Silver Bolt leading Blazing Fireball.
Silver Bolt several lengths out in front right now.
Oh! And you just go straight on! Straight on at the left-hander, Silver Bolt is out of this race
and has handed the lead to Blazing Fireball! Unbelievable!
Silver Bolt was doing pretty well in the championship so he does not have to worry about being eliminated.
But still, a DNF. Oh my gosh, he may be in the next round of eliminations whenever that will occur.
Back up front, these marbles beginning to get more and more coated with this fine film of sand.
You saw the weather update at the top of the course, how it is lightly misting,
similar to what we saw in Round #5 where we also had several marbles, they got coated.
It's gonna be more and more difficult as we get farther down this course to figure out who is who.
Summer Sky just off the right in fifth,
really giving a lot of pressure to Slimer, then it's Blazing Fireball.
Up ahead that might be Mocha Madness off to the right there or Pollo Loco, perhaps, he's a little bit farther back.
Look at this! Oh my goodness!
And that is a huge lunge up into the lead, that bottom line was definitely the way to go.
That was fantastic, and it's Summer Sky taking a really good jump up there.
And look at them, they're just beginning to get more and more coated. Slimer trying to chase him down.
And we've got several marbles a little bit farther back behind
that are trying to bridge that gap that was wrought from taking that lower line.
And now we'll see if anybody's gonna track him down, I don't believe it will.
It's gonna be Summer Sky, a very dirty Summer Sky,
coming in in front of Cobra who made a good lunge at the end. Slimer, Reflektor,
Oddball coming in in fifth in front of The Flash, Comet and the Black Knight.
You notice neither of the top two in the championship, they should be fine though.
We'll see where they finished, oh, quite a ways down there.
Five did not finish: Quicksilver, Rastafarian, Silver Bolt from the lead, Starman and Blue Smoke.
And Ghost Plasma way down there in 24th. The lead has not changed but there you see the eliminated marbles
starting with Blazing Fireball. Such a good start to the race but wasn't able to do it, misses out by one point.
