The first event of Marble League 2017 was held on 1st July 2017, not only featuring the first event, the Funnel Race, but also the Opening Ceremony.
Opening Ceremony[]
This opening ceremony featured a procession of the Marble League torch followed by each of the 16 competing teams down a straightaway in front of all of the spectating marbles. The torch was then carried up the steps and was used to light the Marble League cauldron.
Event[]
The Funnel Race was similar to the one used in the qualifiers. This event has 9 funnels connected in a downwards slope, challenging teams to stay in the funnels for as long as they can, done in a tournament-like fashion. The 4 marbles that stayed in the funnels for the longest in each heat moved onto the next round.
