Marble Rally 2019

The 2019 season of the Marble Rally is the fourth edition of the Sand Marble Rally. It was officially renamed to the Marble Rally 2019 as there will be races on different terrains as well. It is set to be held in 2019. Like in the 2018 season, a B League will be held again too, featuring marbles who failed to qualify for the A League.

Changes in 2019Edit

Different TerrainEdit

The 2019 season will see races on different terrains other than sand. Dirt, and possibly streets and water could feature.

General ChangesEdit

• Some obstacles return, such as the drophole and the chevron sign.
• The ghost marble will regain it's role from 2017, where it comes out of the starting gate a few seconds after the competitors, to try to push up marbles who got stuck.

QualificationEdit

The qualification format was planned to change compared to 2018 with an elimination race format^[1]. But they weren't able to do this format due to a lack of time.^[2]. The format was then changed where 8 marbles compete per race and the top 5 of each qualification race would qualify for the A-league. The last 3 are relegated to the B-league. There were 2 qualification races, 1 practice race for the prequalified marbles and one "wildcard race".

Prequalified for the A-league:

• Top 6 marbles of 2018 (Red Number 3, Phoenix, Superball, Black Knight, Summer Sky and Quicksilver) and the top 2 of that year's B-league (H2 Blue & Pollo Loco) are prequalified. They did a practice race instead.

All the other marbles participated in the qualification round.
