The way I read the rules, you may not bounce off a surface as part of your jump. Bouncing a little on the track that you land on is not part of your jump - it's the landing, so is OK. Probably most people's balls jump a bit on landing, although it might not be noticeable.

Its hard to explain. As the marble was traveling 5 cm, it hit the wall that prevented the marble from leaving the track. Even though it still went 5 cm it the direction of the jump, the judges still interpreted it as a violation.

If you mean that the marble jumps when it lands, then I'm pretty sure that it is fine. My marble jumps when it lands and the supervisers never said anything.
