In no case, will traction devices that damage the carpet or other playing surfaces be permitted. Traction devices may not have surface features such as metal, sandpaper, or hard plastic studs, cleats, or other attachments.

I know it doesn't say anything about glass or marbles but I think that would be up for interpretation. I would ask FIRST before I showed up to a competition like this.
The rule is to prevent carpet damage.

Those marbles will not damage the carpet. They slide, thats what they are there for. I think the hard plastic studs refers to object designed to dig in and stay put: these exist to make the wheel easy to slide around. Our back rubber wheels do more damage to carpets that the marbles. I don't forsee a problem.
