Trivia

• The event was originally scheduled to be uploaded on July 30th. However, due to JMR moving to a new studio, it was delayed by one day.
• The Marble League Record was broken twice during this event. The first time, it was broken by Smoggy of the Hazers in Heat 3 with a time of 5.976 s, breaking the old record of 6.014 s. Sea of the Oceanics went on to break this record in Semifinal A, setting a time of 5.920.
  • The original record (6.014 s) was used since 2017 as the record of the 5 Meter Sprint. When it was broken, it was displayed as held by Yarble Yellers since 2015, despite there never being a Marble League in 2015 and the Yarble Yellers being a lore team.
  • Smoggy failed to progress to the finals despite setting a Marble League record as both Ocean and Velocity surpassed their time, becoming the first racer to set a new record but fail to move on to the next round.
• After the event, $5,000 was donated to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank in the name of the Minty Maniacs, the gold medalists in the event.
• With this 15th place finish, Mellow Yellow broke the record for the lowest point total after 10 events (41).
• This was the first event of Marble League 2020 that Royal Stardust did not demonstrate. They could not do it because they were away at a fan photo session.
