Marble League 2019 Friendly Round	Event 2: Funnel Race

The first event of Marble League 2019 was held on the 19th of April 2019, not only featuring the first event: the Underwater Race, but also the Opening Ceremony.

Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony started with the entrance of the Marble League trophy, with 2019 being the first Marble League year consisting of a trophy for the overall winner. It then followed by King Triton, the king of the Oceanics' nation, followed by the mascot of this year's Marble League, Alvin. The 16 members of the Marble League 2019 staff then made an entrance, including commentator Greg Woods and members of the JMRC. Then the 16 qualified teams entered the ceremony one by one with their team, led by their coaches. Finally, the Oceanics walked up a tower to light the Marble League torch to indicate the start of Marble League 2019.

Event

The Underwater Race is similar to the one used in the qualifiers; however the track was shortened due to the competitors having trouble holding their breath underwater. The marbles roll down the starting ramp into the water and then roll along the track until the finish line. The first two teams to cross the finish line move on to the next round.

Preliminary Stage

	The team advanced to the semifinals.
	The team was eliminated.

Heat 1

In this race, King Triton fired the starting gun to get the event underway. This is was the only race where the king started the race as the remainder of the event was done by the officials. This race consisted of a close photo finish between Choc from the Chocolatiers and Quacky from the Green Ducks, with only a 0.01 second margin. This race also saw the hosts Oceanics being eliminated in last place, continuing their ironic reputation of performing bad in water events.
