Marbula One Season 1 was the inaugural season of Marbula One.
Rules[]
In Marbula One, 16 teams of 2 marbles each compete in a series of lap races, each of which is hosted by a participating team and constructed primarily with Quercetti Big Marbledrome pieces, overlayed with cardstock. To begin a Grand Prix, marbles participate in a qualifier, where each marble is given one flying lap to set the fastest time they possibly can. Grid positions are determined by ranking times, with the fastest marble in pole position (P1), and the slowest in P16, at the back of the grid. In each race, every marble's objective is to place as high as possible, as championship points are awarded for the top 10 finishing positions. In order to level the playing field for the Racers' Championship, each marble must participate in exactly 4 races. The scoring system (see below) for Season 1 follows the scoring system for the series' namesake, Formula One, with an additional bonus point awarded to the racer that finishes in the top 10 with the fastest lap time. After 8 races, the team with the most points is crowned the Teams' Champion of the season, whilst the individual driver with the most points (regardless of whether they also won the Teams' Championship or not) is crowned the Racers' Champions of the season. Race control measures, such as racing flags and penalties, may also be assessed, at the volition of JMR staff and the JMRC.
