What is SpaceBall?

SpaceBall is a team game for two teams of about 5 players each. All players
wear special suits both to reduce the risk of injury, and to allow digital
tracking for video replay.

SpaceBall is played on a large rectangular grass pitch, with two goal areas at
either end. There is a white circle painted at the centre of the pitch.

The game revolves around a 42cm diameter plasteel ball, which can be picked
up, kicked, passed, and carried. The aim of SpaceBall is to drop the ball in
the opponents goal area, while avoiding being tackled by your opponents.

It should be noted that a player will move more slowly when carrying the ball
due to its weight, and this puts the emphasis on evading opposing tackles and
on passing the ball rather than sprinting away.
