Heat winners go through. Everybody else goes home until the next tournament. Watch the wall fade from a hundred to five to one. When they're gone, they're gone.

5THE WALL · CHAMPION'S PORTRAITS

EVERY CHAMPION
GETS PAINTED

Pasted up on the brick, rider as the subject, and under each one the master seed Bryan's engine reveals when the tournament closes: proof nobody chose the winner. Not us, not Bryan, not you.

RULES OF
THE STOOP

  1. Read the gate.Every race is announced thirty seconds before it drops: five marbles, five riders, five boroughs. The clock is the only clock that matters.
  2. Call it.One lane, before the gate. After the gate the server says no. Nobody calls a race they already saw.
  3. Blow on it.Your phone sends 32 random bytes into the race seed. If they show up in Bryan's published seeds, you get a point and a receipt forever.
  4. Ride the streak.Winners stack. Seconds count. The board resets every tournament, your best streak never does.
  5. Get painted.Champions get portraits. Ride with them to the end and blow on the final.
8THE ENGINE · MARBLE RUN BY BRYAN BRINKMAN

THE ENGINE
IS BRYAN'S

Every marble, every course, every frame of physics here is Marble Run by Bryan Brinkman. We painted the riders and drew the chalk. Bryan built the thing nobody can rig, and opened it to everyone with a free public API.

Two numbers decide a race.A track seed builds the course, a race seed drives the physics. Same two numbers, same finish, on any machine. The sim is open source.
The house seed locks first.Each tournament commits a 256 bit master seed by publishing only its hash, sha256(seed ‖ salt). It is revealed at the end and anyone can check it.
The public half lands last.At the gate a drand randomness beacon pulse and every seed blown in by players get hashed into the race. Nobody, Bryan included, knows the result before the gate.
Replay anything.Take any race from the history, load the sim, run the seeds. The marbles finish in the same order. That is the whole trick, and it is beautiful.

Each holder is painted racing their marble, the scene picked by the seed of their best race, and each painting hangs on the honoraries wall. Stars are titles.
