The 83rd annual National Marbles Tournament comes to Wildwood, NJ in June 2006. The "mibsters"(marble shooters) will compete for national honors, $5,000 in scholarships and numerous prizes and awards. The mibsters will play almost 1,000 games over the four‑day tournament. Champions selected from local tournaments held in cities and counties around the United States will converge on Wildwood for a week of serious marble competition and fun on amusement rides and boardwalk attractions. The marble game played in the tournament is called Ringer. It is played by placing 13 marbles in the form of an "X" in a ten foot circle with players alternating shots. The winner is the player who is first to shoot seven marbles out of the ring. "This tournament gives youngsters from across the country the opportunity to come to Wildwood and pit their skills against the best mibsters in the country," according to national committee members of the National Marbles Tournament.
