In this one-off event, 32 marbles representing each team in the group stages of the 2022 Qatar World Cup each competed in a race with the other members of their group. The race was held on a specially constructed downhill track, featuring several obstacles from Marbula One. The first two teams to cross the finish line "qualify" for the knockout stage, and are the channel's predicted teams to advance to the Round of 16 in Qatar.
Tailoring the installation to the client's preferences, an installation kit is securely glued to the back of the marble world map. Magnetic installation kits, specifically designed for this unique piece, are commonly chosen.
However, for custom world maps, particularly grand installations on substantial panels, some enthusiasts opt for a heightened experience. Imagine the MapaWall Stone illuminated with LED-backlights, elevating this already spectacular world map to another dimension.
If you're captivated by the exclusivity of a piece like the MapaWall Stone, feel free to reach out and inquire about the possibilities.

The British and World Marbles Championship is a marbles knock-out tournament that takes place annually on Good Friday and dates back to 1588. It is held at the Greyhound public house in Tinsley Green, West Sussex.[1] Teams of six players participate to win the title and a silver trophy. The event is open to anyone of any age or nationality. Over the years, players from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Estonia, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Wales and the United States have participated alongside English teams.[2][3][4]
Marble tournaments have purportedly been played at Tinsley Green since the late 1500s, until the launching of the current event in 1932.[10] Local historians have concluded that around that time, many individual county marble championships were amalgamated to create the British Marble Championships, which was only renamed as the British and World Marbles Championship for the first time in 1938.[13]
The championships are organized by the British Marbles Board of Control (BMBC)[14] and the version of marbles played is Ring Taw, known in the United States as "Ringer" [15] and in Germany as "Englisches Ringspiel". Forty-nine target marbles are grouped closely together in 6-foot diameter (1.8-metre)[16] raised concrete ring covered with sand, each of the target marbles being a coloured glass or ceramic sphere having a diameter of approximately 12mm (half an inch).[15]
Two teams of six players of any age, gender or skill level,[17] take turns using the tip of the finger to aim and project the "tolley", a larger marble (commonly referred to as the "shooter" or "taw"), which is a glass or ceramic sphere of 18mm diameter (three-quarters of an inch), deploying top spin, back spin and side spin, to drive other marbles out of the ring.[16]
A player's knuckle must be touching the ground when shooting, known as "knuckling down". Moving the tolley closer to the target marbles, known as "cabbaging", is forbidden - as is any other advantageous movement of a players shooting hand during shooting. These would constitute a foul known as "fudging". Any intentional or persistent contact between a player's clothing and a marble or tolley while it is motion would be a foul called "blocking". No score results from a foul shot. A foul shot ends the turn of the offending player, though the score achieved in that turn stands. Any player who makes three foul shots during a game is eliminated from that game.[15] The first team to knock out 25 marbles from the ring is the winner.[15]
In the popular imagination, Versace represents fashion, the Medusa, and one of the most well-known and appreciated Italian brands abroad: but Versace is also interior design, fine materials, including marble, and luxury projects that are everywhere nowadays.
The Miami Mansion purchased by Gianni in 1992 became a real corner of heaven for the designer: built-in 1930 and originally known as Casa Casuarina, it was completely renovated and enlarged by the designer, who turned it into a baroque triumph. Mosaics and marbles are on every surface (including the swimming pool that recalls the motifs of a Versace scarf) with colorful hints and elaborate patterns. Today the Mansion has been turned into a hotel and you can admire the marble floors under a new light since they have recently been polished!
Another luxury jewel with many marble elements is Palazzo Versace Dubai, which represents a mix of Italian neoclassical style and Arab architecture. In the lobby, you can find a 100 sqm mosaic entirely made of marble, while the Giardino restaurant features marble floors and classic columns. The bathrooms of every room feature Carrara marble floors, while the Imperial Suites even feature a marble staircase! The floors of the SPA, which has a surface of 100 sqm, are in Absolute Black Granite. A real dive into the Versace world, surrounded by the beauty of marble!
If you are looking for stone worktops for your new kitchen, the marble vanity top you have always dreamed of for your bathroom, or if you have a commercial project to specify materials for, World of Marble can help.
For nearly three decades, Global Mapper's development has depended on direct interaction with users and most of the major functional requirements can be clearly traced to individual requests. This unique approach to software development has ensured that the application is continually updated and improved to ensure it is meeting the needs of today's GIS professionals.
No add-ons or additional licenses needed for the support of over 300 file formats covering vector, raster, elevation, and point cloud data types in Global Mapper. Supporting virtually all types of geospatial data for import, and nearly as many formats for export, Global Mapper users can load, combine, crop, and tile almost any data they encounter. With new and modified formats being added on an ongoing basis, you can be sure that the software will never be out of date with your data.
In addition to loading data from local files of connected special databases, streamed online data is available through Global Mapper with a wealth of built-in direct links to many of these data services including aerial imagery, worldwide elevation data, topographic maps, Landsat satellite imagery, land cover data, aviation charts, and much more. Furthermore, if a local agency or organization develops a Web Mapping Service, a custom link to this data can be easily added to the online data source list as a custom online source.
Docked windows supporting top-down 2D, oblique 3D, and cross-sectional data views can be opened, resized, and organized within the Global Mapper display for optimal viewing of any data type. When considering 3D data, configurable color-ramp shaders can be applied to inform elevation or slope values in the 2D or dynamic 3D views. Additionally, the 3D viewer supports the recording of HD fly-through videos allowing users to export a visual exploration of point cloud, elevation, draped raster data, and vector data in an easily sharable video format.
Along with the unrivaled ability to import existing datasets, Global Mapper supports a wide range of digitizing tools for vector data creation. The comprehensive set of digitizer tools provides users with standard options for point, line, and polygon features as well as tools for creating specialized geometric features such as range rings, grids, buffer areas, and more. An advanced coordinate geometry tool can be employed to create objects on the map by simply typing the geometric dimensions of each segment.
Options to edit features by line or area segment and precisely edit vertex locations, are accompanied by whole feature adjustments such as the moving, scaling or rotation of features on the map. Complex vector layer comparisons and feature creation can be performed with the Spatial Operations tool, which features Intersection, Union, Difference, and Symmetrical Difference operations, along with numerous spatial predicates and transforms. Global Mapper has full attribute and geometry editing capabilities rivaling any other GIS software on the market today. Combined with scripting and batching tools, it has the capability to automate many GIS processing tasks.
Vector feature attribute additions and manipulation can be completed manually through a table view of attributes for a set of vector features or on a feature-by feature basis. Attribute information can be added to vector features in Global Mapper from nearby or overlapping features or through the incorporation of terrain and image data to provide additional values for points, lines, and polygons.
