The qualifiers for Marble League 2021 were held on 18 June 2021. The qualifying system changed from the previous year, and instead of 20 teams, 24 teams enter the qualifiers in two groups of twelve to claim participation spots in the main tournament, but only 12 of them will make it through alongside the four auto-qualified teams from Marble League 2020.[1]

The Savage Speeders, O'rangers, Minty Maniacs, and Crazy Cat's Eyes did not participate in the Qualifiers as they had auto-qualified. They instead competed in the Friendly Round.

The Turtle Sliders, Snowballs, and Limers were originally ineligible to participate the ML2021 Qualifiers or the ML2021 main event because they were the bottom four of Marble League Showdown 2020. However, due to changes in the qualifying format, and the retirements of the Jawbreakers and Hornets, these three teams competed in the event.

On 13 April 2021, it was announced that the Gliding Glaciers would return to the Marble League and take the place of the Jawbreakers. Additionally, it was announced that a new team, the Solar Flares, would take the place of the Hornets in the Qualifiers after the Bumblebees' takeover of the Hornets.

Draw[]

All 24 teams hoping to qualify for Marble League 2021 were randomly placed into two groups, Group A and Group B, with one team per group being revealed between June 6th and June 17th 2021 on the JMR Subreddit. On June 8th however, a promotion video on the JMR Twitter revealed the 24 teams' placement in groups, resulting in a premature release of the qualifying groups in Marble League 2021.

Event 1: Swing Wave[]


The first event of the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers was held on the 18th June 2021, featuring the first event, the Swing Wave, or Wave for short.

Event[]

In the Swing Wave, the marble teams roll down a wave-shaped track. The farther each marbles goes, the more points they get. There are 10 waves numbered from 1 to 10, with a red catch tray at the very end. A marble scores points equivalent to the numbering of the wave it stops in; falling into the red catch tray scores 0 points. Unlike the Hubelino Tournament variation, there is no 12-point strip, and there is a single lane in the track. The teams' score in the event is their best result after two heats. The team with the highest score wins. If there is a tie, countback is conducted in each team's best run (most 10-point scores, then most 9-point scores, etc.)
