Marble Day rules
Marble Day runs to five rounds. Round 1 is open to all. Round 2 is the last 16. Round 3, the quarter-finals, is the last 8. Round 4, the semi-finals, the last 4. Round 5, the finals, the last 2.
Each round has a single target, scratched into the dirt by the CMO using the Kligorrian Branch of Entwostle. Each shooter gets two plain marbles, no more, and everyone gets a different color so the judges can keep track.
The winner of a round is whoever has the smallest combined distance from the target, as measured by the Sprocket Scope-Tractometer.
