[1][2] Fans participate in this elaborate kayfabe by acting as though the inanimate marbles use actual tactics, training, and psychology to compete.

[3] Each year, the channel uploads a new series of the Marble League featuring different events and teams, which are introduced in the Qualifying round.

Each video is produced in the form of a sporting event with commentary provided by American Greg Woods.

He has stated that he has a form of autism, and said that because he has no occupation, making marble machines was one of his biggest hobbies.

[12] Greg Woods, an early fan of the channel, produced a commentary on his own for one of the marble race videos.

Bakker liked the video so much that he ended up partnering with Woods, who became the English-language commentator for the entire series.

Dion also founded a new concept of Marble Races, The Marbula One, which is a mock version of the Formula One.

The champions of the Marble League are crowned based on the total cumulative points from all events in a single edition.

A pre-tournament qualifying event determines which of the remaining teams are allowed to compete in the championship each year.

The teams that fail to qualify participate in the Marble League Showdown, a shorter tournament consisting of about 4-8 events.

The 2020 Marble League faced cancellation due to a lack of funding, but a fully paid sponsorship from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver was announced on 17 May 2020 for all 16 events, with 5,000 USD going to food bank charities in the event winners' name, and 20,000 USD going to the International Rescue Committee in the overall winners' name, allowing for the 2020 edition to commence as planned.

Sixteen teams from the Marble League were invited to compete in the inaugural edition, which consisted of eight events.

The third edition introduced a redesigned starting grid and conveyor belt to allow for up to 20 marbles to participate in each race.

[24][25][26] The first episode premiered on 18 April 2020, consisting of a race in a recreation of the Paris Street Circuit, and was narrated by British professional Formula E commentator Jack Nicholls.

JMR commentator Greg Woods later joined Nicholls from the second race in a circuit based on the Seoul ePrix.

This tournament, sponsored by Arla Foods UK's Cravendale, featured six new dairy-themed teams, and included six events.

The Oceanics' Sea won the tournament, with Yellah from Mellow Yellow and Swax from the Bumblebees making out the rest of the podium.
