Curling was the ninth event of the Marble League 2018. The event was held on 12 and 13 March 2018. The first round was held on 12 March, the knockout stage followed the next day; 13 March.
Event[]
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

Trivia[]
- Curling was supposed to be Event 3 of Marble League 2018, and then Event 4 until the original video was rejected for being deemed boring and uninteresting. It was then rescheduled for Event 8 before finally becoming Event 9.
- During the Thunderbolts match against Mellow Yellow, "Bolta" is misspelled as "Bolt".
- This is the only occurrence of an event being split across two videos in the Marble League.
