GREG WOODS: And it all comes down to this:
the final race of the 2019 Marble Rally season.
Hey everybody, I'm Greg Woods.
We crown a champion today,
question is, who will it be?
There's the course that stretches in front of our competitors, all chasing Red Number 3.
Ghost Plasma and Superball have gotten a medal each,
will they get the one that counts at the end of the season?
A little delay to start the race here, a frog has entered the track.
Obviously, don't want to put anybody in danger,
the committee escorting the unwanted visitor off of the surface.
And apparently we are hearing there's only minor damage done to the course
so we are ready to start this race.
Let's hop to it.
Off they go!
Down they come, with Summer Sky getting a great start out of the blocks.
Quicksilver trying to track her down as they go across the first speed boost.
Who will benefit from it? Ooh, nearly.
A lunge from Marbly McMarbleface.
Now off to the side goes Quicksilver.
Red Number 3 ahead of Ghost Plasma at the moment, that is...
One of the biggest implications here, the only competitor really for this time is Superball.
Superball basically would have to win this race and Red Number 3 would need a DNF or a bad sort of finish.
At this point Red Number 3, I think gonna take it safe and coast down this course,
knowing where everybody is.
A train building up behind second place Summer Sky,
Quicksilver out in front, trying to stay off the walls as Summer Sky could not.
A little nudge here or there.
Marbly McMarbleface up into fourth and now makes a move up into third, has a look for second,
blocked off as Comet streaks on by, up ahead of Quicksilver.
Now Summer Sky all the way back to fourth!
Marbly McMarbleface holding off in third.
Ooh, several getting caught on that little gap, that little hole on the bridge.
Let's see where they will stratify out from that hard right hander.
And Comet stays clear by several lengths.
Summer Sky, done a great job to get back up into second place.
Could this be her best finish of the entire rally season?
See what she can do here,
but she has her hands full with Comet up ahead and Quicksilver who just got by.
Little breathing room back to that other blue marble, Marbly McMarbleface, Superball in fifth,
a big rival of Red Number 3 across last year.
Still needs that win to be able to have championship aspirations today.
Summer Sky back up in the lead!
She is battling back in this, not giving up at all.
Red Number 3 off to the left side of your screen, just trying to stay out of trouble,
very much the professor at this point, knowing where he needs to finish
and not trying to do any more than he has to and take unnecessary risks.
Comet fights back to take P1.
Can Summer Sky get it back? Time is running out.
She tries to go to the outside, now moves to the in[side].
A little nudge off the wall, Marbly McMarbleface wants a piece of this.
Summer Sky, drafting.
Now the three of them [are] close.
She moves to the left, now hangs back.
Across the speed boost, all of them miss it.
Now she drafts on by, takes the lead!
Is she gonna be able to hold on to it?
Summer Sky several lengths out.
She's gonna drift to the right and block off Comet and she will win the race!
And perhaps, more importantly though, crossing in 8th and done enough:
Red Number 3 is your 2019 Marble Rally Champion for the second year in a row!
Superball did not get that win, Ghost Plasma finished behind,
and that all but seals it for this year's accolades.
Still a couple of podium celebrations left to go,
but unofficially Red Number 3 is your champion.
Here's the final move.
I wonder if Comet thought that Summer Sky was going to move to the right at that point?
She sold him a dummy and moved on past
and then at the end she did start to move to the right because, well, he was moving to the right,
so she had to try to block that off and did a good job of just not allowing a move.
She shut the door and earned 20 points and a
three tenths of a second win.
Comet, Marbly McMarbleface round out the podium,
Quicksilver and Superball, the top five.
Red Number 3, 8th is good enough
and he will be your champion yet again.
I'm sure he's hoping to take some of that momentum from this season and carry it on to next
because we've got a quick turn around.
February 2020, begins the next Marble Rally season.
[For multiple reasons it did not start then]
Red Number 3, the second championship,
denying Ghost Plasma a second championship.
Two of the greats on the podium.
Where does Superball factor into that as well?
There will be some discussion.
How about Crazy Cat's Eye? Two golds and a third.
That's more medals than Red Number 3.
As the Sun sets on this season, we hope that you will join us for next.
Thanks for watching everybody.
Until next year, so long.
