The eleventh event of Marble League 2022 was held on the 27th November 2022, featuring the eleventh event, the Swing Wave.

Event

The official Swing Wave pictogram for Marble League 2022, designed by JMR.

In the Swing Wave, marble teams roll down a wave-shaped track, with two teams in each heat. There are 10 waves numbered from 1 to 10, with a red catch tray at the very end. Unlike the Hubelino Tournament variation, there is no 12-point strip, and there is a single lane in the track.

A marble scores points equivalent to the numbering of the wave it stops in, with the following exceptions:

1. Falling into the red catch tray scores 0 points.
2. Leaving the waves results in the individual marble being disqualified. This results in the marble scoring 0 points for the heat, but does not automatically drop the team's event points to 0.
3. If a marble is stuck at the peak between 2 waves, they will score the amount equal to the greater amount. For instance, a marble stuck between troughs 4 & 5 will score 5 points.

A teams' score in the event is their best result after two heats. The team with the highest score wins. Ties are broken by secondary heats, then most 10-point scores.

Notes

^ⅠIn Heat 8, Pinky Winky came to a stop between Waves 9 & 10. They were given 10 points, but their score would not be counted for the gold medal tiebreaker with the Shining Swarm, in the event it reached countback of 10-point scores.

^ⅡIn Heat 6, Yellim was launched off the track, and did not come to a stop within the waves. They were disqualified individually, meaning that they would score 0 points for the heat, without automatically relegating Mellow Yellow to a 16th place finish in the event.
