Before we get started, pick your favorite team! Remember that you can base your decision on anything! That’s what makes watching this sport amazing, it’s just pure random and luck. So pick a team based on what the logo looks like, the color of the marbles or on the name, and go watch the 2016 Marble League!

Marble League 2016 Events

The 2016 Marble League was the very first edition of the Marble League, which consisted of 16 teams and 12 events.

Each event has its own interesting thing: for example, “Balancing” is composed of a long, straight track made of clear plastic blocks. There is also a tape measure stretched out alongside the blocks to help the judges determine the distance each marble traveled before falling off the ramp and hitting the ground.

There is also the “Relay Race”, “Long jump”, “Wate race” and tons of other cool events that make Marble racing super exciting.

Kid’s favorite usually is “Collision”, which is an event that features a course made of glass blocks and dominoes. And as you would expect, it’s all about… crashing!!

Two teams crash into each other after rolling down two ramps onto a flat square with dominoes on the side.

How do they choose the winner? Well, in this event, the team with the most marbles still on the square wins. Like I said, it’s so exciting!

If you can’t decide which one to watch, you definitely have to start with “The Sand Rally”. It’s probably the most famous and iconic event of the Marble League, where marbles roll down a long, smooth, and difficult course and “fight” to get to the first place.

For kids who love water, we have something for them too! “The Water Race” takes place in a stream with two waterfalls that are dangerous to the marbles rolling downstream.

Be ready to see some shattered marbles in the form of debris!
