Marbles

Post by peteb »

Are there criteria regarding what a marble is? Must it be glass? Any size allowed?

Sorry for the late response, but there are no specifications on size listed on the rules other than the total dimensions. It also doesn't say anything about material, although it should comply with the general rules and safety rules.

There are no specific requirements for evaluating marble, but it also needs to meet basic quality requirements such as: mineral composition, gloss and smoothness, and size.

Are the "basic quality requirements" based off of just everyday common sense or did I miss a section in the Rules covering that?

nataliafriesen's response reads like an AI wrote it, and is confused by the fact that "a marble" and "marble" are very different things.

There are no "quality requirements". The rules say "a marble". Anything that you can buy commercially that is described as "a marble" meets that definition. Plastic marbles would count, or clay ones, or glass ones or whatever. Ball bearings are not marbles.
