game of rope

 played in a large closed room in zero-g with a short rope

There are two teams. The closed room has two goals at opposite ends. You score if the rope touches the other team's goal. Since it's played in zero-g, changing direction means bouncing off a wall or grabbing another player.

I'm not sure how difficult this is. It may evolve to something like volleyball, where the teams stay on opposite sides of a line and it's a score if the rope touches the ground anywhere on your side. Or it may become something like basketball or soccer, where there is a small goal and both teams are allowed anywhere in the room. It may be useful to have extra ropes that teammates can use to redirect one another.

       strange, but sounds fun. I wonder how expensive it would be to build this "closed room" with zero-g.

       In zero-G, there could be an interesting game to be had just linking the two protagonists with a long rope.

       I'm sure when 0-G becomes common, our concept of sports will change radically.

       Bun. Mind if I add this to my space sports group? I could just link to here, but I'd like to write it up and post it there.
