David Marcis played twelve events and finished eighteenth in the state

David Marcis is ranked 318th in the world. Nobody else in Minnesota's 2026 top 25 is inside the top 500 except the state's No. 1.

He is eighteenth in the state standings, on 134.21 points from twelve counted events. Twelve. The series counts twenty and almost everyone above him filled the card.

The rate

Fifty-five percent of individual games won, across 674 tracked games. That is third in this list behind only Luke Nahorniak and Mark Larson, and it puts him in the 99th percentile of the 285 ranked players on both headline measures.

Eighteen tournament wins and 41 podiums from 71 events. Every one of those eighteen was an outright win; he has no shared firsts on his record at all, which is unusual and worth a moment given how many qualifying ties turn up in Minnesota standings.

The Broken Clock specialist

Four wins at Broken Clock in fields of 42 to 59, from ten visits in total. Two of those four came this year, in January and March.

He also won the most recent significant result in the whole dataset: the Super Ball XL finals at Northstar on September 19, out of a 20-player field that included ten of the names in this year's top 25.

Four rooms, all of them good

An average finish of 1.94 at Northstar and 1.83 at Broken Clock. Seven players in this year's list average under 2.00 at their busiest venue, and the other six all rank above him.

Even his Blainbrook line reads 2.10, which is better than most visitors to that room manage.

The records

Twenty-three wins from 38 against Skelley with eight ties is his most one-sided deep record against a fellow top-25 player.

Against Luke Nahorniak he is 33-50 with 16 ties over 99 games, a 41.4% clip. That is the sixth-best mark anybody in this year's list holds against the state leader, from a sample of nearly a hundred games. The full record is here.

Where it goes wrong: Adam Turgeson is 14-6 up on him, and Chris Frame leads 25-24 with seven ties over 56 games, which is as near even as it gets.

Machines

Seven machines above 0.70, which is a deeper set of strong titles than most of the players ranked above him carry. Sixteen games of Jurassic Park with twelve firsts is the strongest, Game of Thrones over 16 with seven firsts and eight seconds the most consistent.

The thin end:

• Wild Fyre, 0.340 over 8 games
• Deadpool, 0.485 over 10 games
• Spin Out, 0.491 over 8 games
• Avengers: Infinity Quest, 0.539 over 16 games

His worst qualifying machine still sits at 0.34 and the next three are essentially average. Finding a hole in this record is difficult, and that is the point: a player with a 55% game win rate does not have many.

What a full calendar would do

Twelve counted events and 134 points. At his rate, twenty would have been roughly 220, which is fifth place.

Whether he wants that is a different question, and the numbers do not answer it. What they do say is that Minnesota's most efficient tournament player spent 2026 playing a quarter of the calendar of the people around him, and still beat seven of them.

If you draw him

Wild Fyre if it is on the floor, Deadpool if it is not. Beyond that there is no soft option, and his form is running hot at 80% against a 72% baseline.
