Perhaps the most exciting part of this post is above, in the header. You may recall that I wrote about this weeks ago when the tourney was first announced (and sponsored) in a big way.

On Thursday and into this weekend – a completely safe, totally unique and pretty exciting “sports” tourney begins. Competition (safely) returns!!!

The tourney videos will be posted at the Jelle’s Marble Racing YouTube Channel.

Not sure which marble team to root for? There’s an extensive fan page for that:

It’s not Jelle’s Marble Racing, but I bet it’s fun to watch the Soap Box Derby anyway.
