At the first OMP, back in June 1998, everyone who registered at the door had to submit one marble as the entrance fee. Later that night the marbles were raffled off. The winner of the marbles decided to donate the marbles back at the OMP the following year, thus starting an OMP tradition. Every year the marbles are raffled off, get to spend one year with the winner, then are raffled again the following year.
