there is a very real possibility of the pinkies winning the marble league this year after being the bottom of the barrel for pretty much their entire career. what the hell is happening????
Congratulations to the Pinkies on winning the Marble League 2022, and to the runners up, the Shining Swarm.
My team, Team Galactic, eked by with a close third, making this their best year yet, just one point shy of second overall. If they had finished 4th in the final event instead of 5th, they would have been tied for points with the Shining Swarm, but would have won the medal count tiebreaker; both teams had 5, but Galactic had more golds, holding this season's record of 4. As one of the top three teams, they automatically qualify for Marble League 2023, so this is a major victory in my book.
The Balls of Chaos are this year's lanterne rouge, coming in last place with the lowest overall points haul of any team in the modern structure of the Marble League. Better luck next time!

There are 43680 ways for the top 4 teams in the 2022 Marble League to place in the last event. I used python (computer code) to score each one of these and find the chance for each of the top 4 teams to make it to the final podium (5th place team cannot make podium).
Pinkies: 64.5% first place, 30.2% second place, 5.1% third place.
Shining Swarm: 23.8% first place, 46.0% second place, 28.1% third place.
Team Galactic: 11.4% first place, 20.9% second place, 59.9% third place.
Savage Speeders: 0.3% first place, 2.8% second place, 6.8% third place.
