Besides the Racers/Sliders and Speeders/Sliders, are there are any other current teams that have never competed against one another outside of Qualifiers?

Since the Turtle Sliders have never qualified for Marble League, and the Raspberry Racers and Savage Speeders have never been relegated to the showdown, the only time (outside of Marbula One) that the Turtle Sliders have faced either of those teams is in the Qualifiers. Are there any other pairs of teams where this is also the case?

Jawbreakers and Raspberry Racers, Jawbreakers and Hazers, Jawbreakers and Crazy Cats Eyes, Jawbreakers and Green Ducks, Jawbreakers and Solar Flares, Jawbreakers and Black Jacks, Jawbreakers and Team Plasma.

Also, Solar Flares and O’rangers. The two times that the Flares qualified (2024 and 2026) are the two times that the O’rangers were in the showdown. Apparently there’s only room for one orange team in each marble league.

The Raspberry Racers and the Sliders have also never competed in M1 outside of exhibition races, as the Sliders were only in Season 3, the one season the Razzies got kicked.

These are ones I didn't see earlier:

Mellow Yellow & Wolfpack

Pinkies & Wolfpack

Kobalts & Gliding Glaciers

Black Jacks & Shining Swarm

Team Plasma & Balls of Chaos

There are more probably. Was going to say Snowballs & Maniacs but they both were in ML18 actually.

The two members of the Hornets that are part of the Bumblebees have never been to the showdown either

[u/Mia123445 → u/trident174]

They were in 2019 showdown when they were part of the Hornets, but that’s because they were automatically put in showdown (like the new teams in 2022) rather than them failing to qualify.

I think both them and the Sliders won a fan team contest or something.

[u/C0smicM0nkey → u/Mia123445]

Yeah, they did win a contest. The third-place team in that contest was the Red Pandas, and I've been holding out for them to make an appearance ever since.
