Using standard square floor panels as a unit of measurement, the playable surface of the court is 26 tiles long by 5 tiles wide.

The standard blasterball court is approximately 150u long. Casual pick-up games often ignore the shield requirements, and some players enjoy experimenting with other Multi-tool Weapons too. Competitors may play with a max of three installed shield upgrades. Standard equipment for competitive blasterball is a Boltcaster outfitted with a Boltcaster Ricochet Module and any other upgrades desired. This gives a slight advantage to attackers, **however**, any shots that a defender registers on an enemy ball will still have an effect, albeit with a slight delay. Due to the limits placed on sphere interactions by the NMS servers, the interloper who activates the button and spawns the sphere will experience no latency when interacting with that sphere all other players will find significant lag when attempting to shoot their opponents' (or teammate's) ball. In 2v2 matches, teams will need to decide prior to the start of the round who will defend and who will be on the attack. and the close, the 'goal line' battle that usually follows a successful cross, where attackers and defenders clash as the first attempts to score and the latter to clear the ball from the endzone, forcing the opposing team back to the rush phase.the cross, where players attempt to shoot or otherwise manipulate the ball from their opponents' net, across the court, and back to their endzone, while attempting to prevent their opponent from doing the same.the rush, where players rapidly cross the court to reach their opponents' ball spawn (or 'net').Rounds typically run through three fairly distinctive phases: A power button on the 'net' can be shot, melee'd, or actioned to spawn the sphere. The goal of each round is to 'steal' a sphere from a raised, inverted generator located in front of your opponent's endzone, and return it to the recessed 'goal' in your own endzone. Combat death is possible and legal players who have been killed will respawn at their team's beacon and may rejoin the round. Standard matches are played with full contact and permit only the use of the Boltcaster. Each match has a max of three rounds, and the first team to score two rounds wins the match, also known as a best-two-out-of-three format. Interlopers compete in 2- or 4-player matches, either 1v1 or 2v2.

Blasterball is a simulated ball sport originating in the Galactic Hub.
