Marble League 2017 Qualifiers

The qualifiers for Marble League 2017 took place on 23rd June 2017. The Savage Speeders, Mellow Yellow, the Thunderbolts, and Team Momo had prequalified as they came in the top four of Marble League 2016. Sixteen other teams entered the qualifiers in an attempt to get themselves a place in Marble League 2017. The qualifiers also saw the introduction of four new teams: the Jungle Jumpers, the Midnight Wisps, the Shining Swarm, and the Quicksilvers. The qualifiers consisted of four events: Relay Race, Sand Race, Block Pushing, and Funnel Spin, the latter of which is adopted from the Hubelino Tournament 2016.

### Event

The Relay Race returns from Marble League 2016 although in a different form. This year the track is made from Hubelino rather than Skyrails. One marble from each team rolls down part of a track as quickly as they can. They then crash into the next marble setting them off to complete their part of the race. The fourth marble in the team will complete the final part of the course. The quicker the team, the more points they earn.
