Braid (Sand Rally)

A Braid (or Curly Wurly, Helixes) is an sand course section where 2 or more paths will cross each other multiple times. In these sections, marbles can collide with each other causing lots of actions especially when the marbles are close to each other. The braid can be followed by an teardrop or halfpipe with 2 entries, but usually the track can just merge to a wide track section sometimes filled with obstacles like dummy balls or rotating items

Harmony

Harmony during Marble League 2019

**Harmony** is the coach of the Balls of Chaos.

## History

### 2019

Harmony joined as the coach of the Balls of Chaos after the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers.

Marble League 2019 turned out to be a rough ride for the Balls of Chaos. Snarl was eliminated in the heats of Event 1, the Underwater Race, and finished 12th. The team jumped to eighth following a fourth-place finish for Anarchy in Event 2, the Funnel Race. Unfortunately, the team couldn't find the momentum and fell to the bottom half of the standings after Event 3, Balancing, and stayed there for the rest of the season, with only three top half finishes in the next eleven events. As of Event 14, Surfing, the team were in 15th overall.

However, the Balls of Chaos started to turn things around in the final two events. In Event 15, Collision, the team managed to win a silver medal, beating the Raspberry Racers in the quarterfinals, and overcoming the Chocolatiers in the semifinals, before losing to the O'rangers in the final. This made the team rise to 12th. They followed this up with Tumult winning the final event, the Sand Rally. The team ended the tournament in 9th overall, better than they could have imagined after such a poor start.

As the Balls of Chaos prepared for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers, the team received a letter from the JMRC. The letter turned out to be an invitation to take part in Marbula One Season 1. The team accepted and sent Anarchy and Clutter to represent them.

Colina Umerun

The **Colina Umerun** is a centuries-old artificial hill in Numerun that was created for marble racing. It was originally designed for recreation and frequent renovations have meant it can still be used to this day.

The Rollers when building their stadium left a gap in the stands that allows fans to get a direct view of the Colina Umerun, as a homage to the team's origins but also the origins of marble racing.

Hubelino Tournament 2018 Event 5: Block Bumping

The Minty Maniacs bumping the blocks

The fifth event in the Hubelino Tournament 2018 was held on 19th October 2018. The event was **Block Bumping**.

## Events

In this event a team of marbles roll down a track before bumping into blocks that must be pushed off ramps. Teams score points depending on the trailing end of the blocks, as follows:

* A block that does not reach the yellow 10-point zone scores points equivalent to the last numbered tile it has completely passed.
* A block that has completely entered the yellow zone scores 10 points.
* A block that has completely entered the red zone at the far end scores 0 points.

The team that scores the most points wins. Ties are not broken.
Ice Hockey

* Ice Hockey
* Football

**Ice Hockey** and **Football** (also known as **Soccer**) are team events featured in the Marble League and is similar to Collision. Marbles roll onto the field and collide with each other and some balls. The team that gets the most balls into the other team's goal is the winner.

## Rules

In Ice Hockey, two teams ride down a track and collide with each other on the rink, as well as a set of small metallic ball bearings referred to as "pucks". These pucks are placed on the rink: one on each neutral zone faceoff spot, one on the center faceoff spot, and two in the middle close to one side, right at the spot where both teams would first collide. The scoring is one point for each puck that enters the opposition's goal. If a marble rolls into the goal, it won't be counted as a goal. The reserve member of each team acts as the goalie, while the other marbles start on the tracks and race to the rink trying to score while blocking any goals scored against them.

In Football, each team descends down ramps onto a football pitch with small footballs resting atop it. The reserve member of each team acts as goalkeeper, and is placed atop a small magnet in front of their goal. The objective is to force as many balls into the opponent's goal as possible. Each match has two halves, with teams switching sides after halftime. After full time, the team with more goals wins the match and moves on to the next round - in the event of ties, extra time is played until the tie is broken. The event progresses in a 16-team bracket.

After surveying the damage,Jelle and Dion Bakker and the IMC decided to move the final event, the Sand Mogul Race, to the Bakker Bowl. The stadium started to be rebuilt in 2019.

Hubelino Tournament 2016 Event 6: Pursuit Slalom

Team Phoenix vs. the Ruby Rollers in Quarterfinal C

The sixth event in the Hubelino Tournament 2016 was held on 5th January 2017. The event was the **Pursuit Slalom**.

## Event

In this event, two teams roll down a symmetrical slalom course. The first team to have all their marbles across the finish line wins the match. The event progresses in a single-elimination bracket. Teams that lose before the semifinals are ranked by their times to complete their round, with the fastest time ranking in 5th place, and the slowest in last. Times were not provided for any other runs.
Biathlon

The Biathlon in Marble League 2018

**Biathlon** is an event featured in the Marble League, sometimes referred to as **Winter Biathlon** to distinguish it from **Summer Biathlon**, a variant of Triathlon.

## Rules

In the Biathlon, a team of marbles goes down a swinging track made out of gravitrax pieces, similar to Slalom, in the form of a relay race. The last marble then rolls onto a colored grid trying to get as far as possible.

Scoring is determined by the amount of time it took for the last marble to reach the finish line before the colored scoring grid with a second subtracted for every point the last marble scored there.
Archery

Archery during Marble League 2017

**Archery** is an event that featured in Marble League 2017. The goal of the event is for each member of the team to be fired at a target, getting as close to the middle as possible.

## Rules

Each team has four shots to get as many points as possible. Each member of the team is fired from a K'Nex crossbow towards a wall of colored dominoes. The marbles gain points by knocking over the dominoes. Below is the list of score values of each domino:

* Red: 1
* Orange: 2
* Yellow: 3
* Lime: 4
* Green: 5
* Cyan (Sky Blue): 6
* (Dark) Blue: 7
* Purple: 8
* Pink: 9
* White: 10 (Bullseye)

If a marble knocks over more than one domino, then the domino with the lowest point value is counted, plus half-a-point (e.g. knocking over a white and a pink is worth 9.5 points, but if the purple domino is also knocked over, then the score is 8.5 points). Each marble's shooting score is summed for the total score.
Cranthym Challenges

**Cranthym Challenges** was a competition first held in March 2021 featuring a mixture of marble sports and puzzles such as a Maze and Code Breaking. It was held in a large hall called The Cranthym and featured ten events and sixteen teams. It was a less well known competition, having little media coverage despite some well-known teams attending. Winners of the competition are awarded the Cranthym Crown and Cranthym Cup.

Hubelino Tournament 2016 Event 12: Ball Battle

The Valiant Violets vs. the Black Jacks

The twelfth and final event in the Hubelino Tournament 2016 was held on 11th November 2017. The event was the **Ball Battle**.

## Event

In this event, two marble teams roll down a short track before colliding with each other on an arena with no sides. A team scores 1 point for each marble they manage to keep in the arena. Situated in the center of the arena is a red ball. If a team knocks the ball off the arena at their opponents side, they will gain an extra point. There are also 2 ball bearings which can be released into the arena if a button at the top of the arena is hit.

In the group stage, 4 teams play all other teams in their group, in a round-robin format. They earn 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. The top 2 teams in each group advance to the semi-finals. If there is a tie in the final standings of a group, or if a match in the knockout stage is tied, a tiebreaker match is played.

In each match, the team who scores more points wins, with ties played if necessary. In a tiebreaker match, should scores remain a tie after the marbles stop, then the marbles that remained on the board are left on the board, and the marbles that were knocked off go down the ramp again. This process is repeated until there is a winner.
Hubelino Tournament 2018 Event 6: Relay Race

The Ruby Rollers and the Green Gang

The sixth event in the Hubelino Tournament 2018 was held on 23rd October 2018. The event was the **Relay Race**.

## Event

In this event, two marble teams roll down part of a course before pushing a block to let the next team mate roll down their part of the course. The first team across the finish line advances to the next round. Teams eliminated in the quarter-finals are ranked from fastest to slowest (fastest losing time places 5th, slowest losing time places last).

## Standings

**Orange:** Not able to win Hubelino Tournament 2018, but top 3 still possible.
Hurdles

The photo finish in Heat 4 of Hurdles in Marble League 2020

The **Hurdles** is an event that has been featured in multiple Marble Leagues. The aim of the event is to get to the end of the track the quickest while overcoming the hurdles.

## Rules

In Marble League 2016 four individual marbles competed against each other on a short four-lane Hubelino Track with six hurdles. The first marble to the end of the track was the winner. The hurdles were jumps in the Hubelino track. If a marble jumped out of their lane, they were disqualified.

From 2017 to 2020, the hurdle jumps were replaced with K'Nex hurdles that the marble rolled through.

From 2021 onward, there were 7 small freestanding hurdles on the track, with ramps in place to assist the marbles in jumping over them.
Dash

Dash after their podium in the Triathlon (MLS 2021)

**Dash** is a member of the Turtle Sliders. They started competing in Marble League Showdown 2019 and have so far been unable to progress any further.

## History

### Pre-Marble League

Dash is from the city of Jamarbla. They were a rising star athlete in the city, known for their "extreme speed trials" that they would post on MarBook. They already had a huge fanbase and when they were recruited to the Turtle Sliders in mid-2018 by Shelly, the fans followed. This large number of fans started to petition for the team to be allowed to compete in the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers.

### 2019

The Turtle Sliders began training in Aslipi for the 2019 Seven Seas Circuit when they received news of the Marble League Showdown which featured a fan vote competition to determine two of the places. Their fans voted for the team in overwhelming numbers, using their previous previous rivalry with Oceanics to attract attention. Along with their past rivalry, their logo and reunion story were also praised. In the end they finished second in the vote behind the Hornets, and were entered into the Marble League Showdown 2019.

As the team trained, they focused on honing their synergy as a team. This paid off when they came 5th in Event 2, Collison. Unfortunately the other three events did not go as well. Squirt came 9th in Event 1, the Sand Rally, after struggling to reach the top 4 after getting caught behind a gaggle of competitors. Dash led for a lot of the Funnel Race but ended up consecutively falling through the final two funnels finishing in 10th and dropping them to 10th overall. The team had trained for the final event, Balancing, but their nerves got the better of them and they could only manage an 11th place finish, finishing in 11th overall, failing to qualify for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers.

### 2020

The Sliders started to train at their training facility, Slider Academy. The academy was certified by the JMRC but was severely underequipped. Shelly started an athletic training program, although not all of the rest of the team had the time to take part.

The Sliders started off Marble League Showdown 2020 by finishing just outside the top half in 7th in the Relay Run. This was followed by a less good 9th place finish in the Halfpipe. Dash and Shelly got the Sliders' only top half finish by coming sixth in the Black Hole Funnel. Despite this they dropped to 9th overall. Unfortunately Squirt could only manage an eighth place finish in the final event, the Sand Mogul Race, making the Sliders finish in 9th overall. Once again the Turtle Sliders failed to qualify for the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers.

Dummy Balls (Sand Rally)

In Sand Marble Rally, dummy balls can be placed on the course usually on wide sections close to the finish, but can also be placed close to other obstacles. The dummy balls are in fact sphere-sized obstacles which will roll down the course after been hit by the marbles. Dummy balls sometimes can push away other marbles because they usually move faster than the competing marbles. Dummy balls can also "activate" other obstacles like trapdoors or the Rotating Chevron Sign, and they can also got stuck or escape the track. If a dummy ball crosses the finish line, they won't be shown on the results list. They are just there to hinder the marbles.
Angry Amber

Hubelino Tournament 2018 Event 1: Swing Wave

The Golden Orbs vs. the Bluefastics

The first event in the Hubelino Tournament 2018 was held on 6th October 2018. The event was the **Swing Wave**.

## Event

In this event, the marble teams roll down a wave-shaped track. The farther each marbles goes, the more points they get. The teams final score is the sum of all the individual team members' scores. However, this event is different to the 2016 version as this year if a marble reaches the end of the track they can fall into a 1-point pit instead of gaining maximum points.

In the group stages four teams compete against the other teams in their group. They earn three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. The top two teams advance to the semi-finals.
Blue Moon

Blue Moon in 2019.

**Blue Moon** is a metallic blue marble who competes in the Marble Rally. Blue Moon has been competing since 2016, and currently competes in the Showdown.

## History

### 2016

Blue Moon began Sand Marble Rally 2016 poorly, with three DNFs. In the fourth race Blue Moon finished seventeenth and scored their first points. In a DNF-filled Race 5, Blue Moon finished twenty-first and another bad finish in Race 6 proved Blue Moon's bad season.

### 2017

Blue Moon did not qualify for 2017 after a DNF in the qualifiers.

### 2018

In 2018, Blue Moon, snuck into Sand Marble Rally 2018 by coming 5th in the race involving Slimer, who already qualified. Blue Moon achieved a couple of good finishes, but finished 18th due to a lot of inconsistent results.

### 2019

After finishing in 18th place in 2018, Blue Moon required 1st or 2nd in the wildcard race to qualify for the Marble Rally 2019. Last place resulted in relegation to the Marble Rally 2019 Showdown.

Blue Moon once again performed poorly placing lower mid-pack including Race 4 where after leading they would completely fall down the order and eventually they finished 10th. They would finish in 9th overall remaining in the showdown.

### 2020

Blue Moon was originally meant to remain in the Showdown but when the qualifiers were cancelled, individual marbles were invited to compete in Marble Rally Season 5. Blue Moon was not invited to compete.

Climbing

Tangerin's winning skip in Newton's Cradle

**Climbing** is a duo event featured in the Marble League. One marble strikes another, firing their teammate up a track. The marble that goes the furthest is the winner.

## Rules

In Climbing the athlete pairs compete to roll as far as possible after colliding. The first marble (striker) of the teams accelerates from the starting ramp and sends an impulse into the second marble (skipper), sending them as far up the slope they can. The team whose skipper travels the furthest up the ramp wins. Distance is calculated by taking the measurement at the center of the skipper at the apex of its movement. In the Newton's Cradle variant, instead of the striker colliding with the skipper, the striker collided with a Newton's Cradle, sending an impulse into the skipper, sending them up the track.

Curling

Curling in Marble League 2018

**Curling** is a winter event that has been featured in the Marble League.

## Rules

In Curling, one marble from each team rolls down an ice sheet towards the "house", a target on the ice where the different rings are worth different point values. The closer a marble is to the "button" (i.e. the center), the more points their team earns. Then one marble from the opposing team rolls towards the house. Each team will send one marble in turn until all four of their team's marbles have been sent. The team with the highest score wins the match. In case of a tie, the winner is determined by which team has the marble closest to the button.

Button - 5pts
Red - 3pts
White - 2pts
Blue - 1pt
Barry

**Barry** is a former member of the Raspberry Racers. They joined the team when they started to compete in the Fruit Circuit. Going into the final race of the 2015 Fruit Circuit, a race through a winery in southern Europe, the Raspberry Racers were in second overall, behind their rivals, the Limers. During the race, Barry overshot a curve and went out of bounds, resulting in a DNF. This meant Mellow Yellow and the O'rangers took second and third place overall behind the Limers in first. The top three teams were offered a place in Marble League 2016, meaning the team missed the chance to take part. The team were disappointed and fired Barry. The team disbanded shortly afterwards.

When the team reformed to take part in Marble League 2018, the team appointed Ruzzy to be the reserve member. Barry was happy for the team, but wished they had reached out to them. Barry went on to watch the team compete in the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers. As they watched the Raspberry Racers win Marble League 2019, Barry admitted that they had forgiven them for firing them. They weren't sure if they could have competed at that level, that they liked where their career was now and that they were happy to cheer on their former team from the sidelines.

During the Razzway Grand Prix during Marbula One Season 1, a fan invaded the track. Rumors spread that this was Barry, but this was denied by Coach Berry (no relation) in a post-race interview.
