Putting everyone in the same gang allows dragging the can, but telling apart players may take something else. Maybe setting a bad standing to the opposing team works.
I must have been a tad unclear, all players are in the same corp and thus will show upp with the green star thingie to each other (and thus all can tractor the can) but the teams are set upp of gangs making your own team purple star thingie.
This should make telling each other apart a breeze.

Hahaha, this is a great idea...on paper. I hope it proves to be as much fun in-game. Fingers crossed. Can we call it CanBall? I'm seeing leagues and divisions, and a "CanBall Cup". I'm seeing intense rivalries between the top CanBall Gangs. I'm seeing mach results being posted to in-game billboards, and browser news. I see a website. I possibly even see a sticker album/bubblegum cards of your favourite CanBall players. I see Exotic Dancers being renamed Exotic Cheerleaders. *Obviously* the FIRST thing that will happen is the Devs will give CanBall players a tool to paint their ships in their CanBall Gang's colours... I even see a brutal, underground version of CanBall emerging: "CanBall Death Match". Live fire, ships being destroyed (gangs will need a couple of substitutes. Hmm, maybe you could get substituted before you blow up), riots among the fans. Maybe there'll be a new mini-profession added, Intergalactic Hotdog Vendor...A huge Indy, that jettisons cans full of burgers 'n stuff.. Oooh, oooh, billboard televised CanBall matches! Sneak past gate campers as they watch the cup final between old enemies Caldari Cruisers and last season's champs the Minmatar Minotaurs! OOOOH, OOOOOH, A player transfer market! Gang Managers! Jagrain "Arsene Wenger" Dargosian. (Half time oranges anybody?) I want to sign up for the Caldari Cruisers! (sure, we'll be in frigates, but...meh!) Or, I see the whole thing turning out to be an unworkable mess, lol :)

For the goal problem: why not have a icecube (big enough not to fit in any frigs cargohold) in the large enough "ball" can, and 2 secure, passworded cans as (anchored) "goal" cans. when a team manages to place the ice-cube in their goal can, they score. You cannot put the can in your cargo (its too big anyway)
use any ship you like, the can wont go faster then 500 m/s anyway, just no guns. ECM and web is allowed.

Did it occur to anyone that you can actually web the can too?
That way you can slow your opponent's ball while trying to jam it. Not sure if it works though, still needs testing.

fantastic idea
2 ideas for the game
1st - jammers should only be of the t1 standard variety as named and t2 jammers get too powerful with good ewar pilots. 2 jammers per team. only 1 back up array/eccm per team. experimentaion may be needed to see if game speed is kept to a reasonable pace. jammers should miss enough to keep the action going. i can see a team risking all on a couple of racial for there team only to find the opposing team has none of these ships lol. but in the future maybe an elite or premiership league could be created after the game takes off and rules are fettled where mega corps and alliances fund multi billion isk teams with the best pilots in eve with the best mods available
2nd- pitches should be 155km so that warping from 1 end of of the pitch to the other will allow for fast paced gameplay once again sounds like an awsome idea

the webbing of a can stops it compleatly and the person toting the can must activate the tractorbeam to starting it moveing again and dito for the webber, he must reactvate the mod to stop it again. ______________________________________________________ I shal stand tall and shake the heavens with my power |

Originally by: Messerschmitt facility American football = rubgy for sisis. Pads, helments? If he get touch they stop and replay the ball...(I think, I got no idea how you play that game). Yea defenetely for sisis. Football is the game with the round ball and with the nets! Thats football!
Exactly, American Football is rugby with girly (we can't let our pretty looks get damaged) pads and lots of stopping. Football is bigger than American Football (in the world) and the true Football and Rugby is better than both... I rest my case.

I like the idea of CanBall, although i doubt i'll ever be able to play it in anything other than low sec/0.0 it sounds like a really fun idea.

I'm a Southerner, please don't call me a yankee. We killed so many yankee's during the civil war, we felt sorry and staged a surrender so it might restore their confidence.
All Southerners glow with divinity and greatness, from affluency to poverty; we are paramount, impeccable and most clean. Most of all, we Southerners are NOT "yankees". Till the British honor and respect the Southerners' Almighty Greatness and address us accordingly, we will continue to call it "soccer"!

Originally by: Gamble Dakota American Football is 50 times more exciting then soccer, plus we have a larger economy and more nuclear weapons. Thus the Americans play football and everyone else actually plays soccer. Also, since when does anything good make sense?
Gaarrr.. American Football is decent but I would rather watch/play some soccer since I don't like all the damn hold ups in American Football! And the Goals in soccer are far better and more enjoyable to watch.. Soccer > American Football - period!

I'm intrigued about this, I would suggest that the warp bubbles are a great idea, however in secure space (where I bet most of these games will be fought) you can't use them.
Why not have a small container, and when you get to your opponent's giant secure container, you put the small one inside the big one to score a "point" - then the linesman can run in a T2 ship with MWD and reset the game quickly after a goal.
Thing is, there can be different levels to this:
1) Tech 1 Frigate CanBall.
Tech 1 frigates, no named components, no tech 2 components. (MWD's not allowed?!?)
2) Tech 2 Frigate CanBall.
Interceptors and Assault ships take the field, I doubt Cov Ops would be helpful at all. But tends towards more specialised roles, with the fast intys, well, intercepting the player with the ball and the assault ships being able to grab the ball and pummel back.
3) Tech 1 Frigate DeathBall.
You can fit guns, onto your ships and blow up the opposition, perhaps suggested that each player brings and leaves a few ships by the side of the pitch so they can fly back and switch ships quickly.
4) Cruiser CanBall.
Could work?
5) Carrier CanBall.
Now I'm just being silly.
As for team compositions and sizes, I'd say, teams of 7? You could have 3 tractor specialists and 3 tacklers, along with a single "Sweeper"? Although changes in this could work.
Also, I've found out that if a container is left unsecured in space, you can bump it around, which could lead to come amusing strategies.
Thing is though, with the game's style, might be keen to try and avoid a tactic of "everyone pick a mark and web/nos/bump them while trying to pull the can" which would just end in a stalemate and could make the game a bit boring.
Anyways, there's my two cents. :)

Bumpageddons as linebackers and anything over 500m/s as tenders sounds interesting.
Not sure how multiple tractors affects a can or what kind of ballistics they have though if they are even able to be affected by multiple vectors.

As of tomorrow you will only need Science 4 to use tractor beams. This will make it much easier to use them :-)
Only problem I see with all of this is that if something is being tractored afaik you can't activate another tractor on it, so how do you "steal" the ball from someone or take possession? With webbers on the can as has been discussed or am I missing something?
