The qualifiers for Marble League 2018 were held in mid-to-late-December of 2017. The Snowballs (as the event's hosts), O'rangers (winners of the ML2017), Savage Speeders (runners-up in ML2017) and Mellow Yellow (3rd place in ML2017) qualified automatically. 24 teams entered the qualifiers in 3 groups of 8 teams each, where the best 4 teams from each group qualified after 4 events. The qualifiers consisted of four events: Curling, Snow Race, 5 Meter Ice Dash and Halfpipe.
Draw[]
All 24 teams hoping to qualify for Marble League 2018 were placed into pots containing three teams. The three members of the pots went through a Hubelino funnel to sort them into three groups they wold compete in for the qualifiers. Teams within the pot who fell first were put in Group C, while teams who fell last were put in Group A.
POT 1: (Non qualified teams of ML2017)
POT 2: (4th and 5th places in ML2017 + new team)
POT 3: (6th and 7th places in ML2017 + new team)
POT 4: (8th, 9th and 10th places in ML2017)
POT 5: (11th, 12th and 13th places in ML2017)
POT 6: (14th, 15th and 16th places in ML2017)
POT 7: (Approved Hubelino Tournament teams)
POT 8: (Approved Sand Marble Rally based teams + new team)
Results[]
*The Gliding Glaciers and Team Plasma were prevented from being placed in Group A, to avoid confusion with the Jawbreakers and Rojo Rollers respectively, so the Crazy Cat's Eyes were placed there automatically.
Event 1: Curling[]
The first event of the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers, Curling, was held on the 15th - 18th of December 2017.
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 equate to different point values. The closer you are to the center, the more points you earn. 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 and advances to the next round. If there is a tie, the winner is decided by which team is closest to the button.
Button - 5 pts
Red - 3 pts
White - 2 pts
Blue - 1 pt

Event 3: 5 Meter Ice Dash[]
The third event of the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers, the 5 Meter Ice Dash, was held on the 22nd of December 2017.
Event[]
The 5 Meter Ice Dash is a racing event similar to the 5 Meter Sprint, the difference being the course is made of smooth plastic with no barriers between the marbles, causing an effect similar to slipping on ice. Each group is split in half and two heats of four marbles race against each other. The results from the two heats are combined to make an overall standings. The fastest marble down the track is the winner.

Event 4: Halfpipe[]
The fourth and final event of the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers, the Halfpipe, was held on the 27th of December 2017.
Event[]
The halfpipe features a whole marble team rolling down a halfpipe. All four marbles on 2 teams roll down a chute onto the halfpipe and try to stay rolling for as long as possible while slowly making their way towards the bottom of the halfpipe. The time for the slowest three marbles across the line are added together to give the team their score. The results from each group are combined and the slowest team across the finish line wins.

Trivia[]
- During the draw for the Qualifiers, Team Plasma and the Gliding Glaciers were deliberately given a head start into the funnel. This was because Group A already had both the Rojo Rollers and the Jawbreakers, who could be confused with these two teams due to similar colors.
- The Curling event was split into three separate parts. Each group had its own video. When it was reuploaded in 2019, they were released as a single video.
- The Snow Race was originally scheduled for 19 December, but was postponed to 20 December due to technical issues.
- The 5m Ice Dash was originally scheduled for 21 December, but was postponed to 22 December due to editing failures.
- The Qualifiers were marred by tensions between Team Primary and the Balls of Chaos, both of whom competed in Group C, which Jelle billed as the "Group of Death" in part for that reason.
- After the semi-final match of Curling between both teams, which ended in a draw, but was won by Team Primary by virtue of having a marble closer to the button, several Balls of Chaos fans attempted to storm the arena in rage, but were held back by security and Shining Swarm fans. A Balls of Chaos fan also rolled down the track into the house and was chased by security. They were caught and escorted off the arena. Other Balls of Chaos fans also went to see an IMC Officer in an attempt to persuade them that they won, but decided against doing it.
- After the heat of Halfpipe between the Balls of Chaos and Team Primary, which was won by the Balls of Chaos and resulted in Team Primary failing to qualify, competitors and spectators from both teams entered into a fight. Security managed to step in and break it up.
- Group C was also notably the first time that Fruit Circuit rivals the Limers and Raspberry Racers competed against each other in the Marble League, although both teams managed to qualify without incident.
- Group C's race in the second event, the Snow Race, was the first race in the Marble League to have no finishers.
- Group C's snow race was not redone, even after all marbles DNF'd, because weather conditions were really bad. The event was initially going to be cancelled due to safety concerns, but all teams agreed that they wanted to race before the next storm. Shortly after the race, the storm washed away the track, so the race could not be redone.[1]
