Created as an exciting quick-turnaround event format producible in and for a world dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, the competition takes place inside two massive shipping containers, each equipped with numerous cameras and delivered directly to the competitors\u2019 respective homes.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Container Cup<\/em> was also designed to give back to first responders and others making a difference during the pandemic, with athletes competing for the charity of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>The format premiered on Belgium\u2019s Vier network on April 26. Within the first week, it was optioned to Germany, France and The Netherlands, with deals currently pending in Spain, Italy, the U.K. and other territories.<\/p>\n<p>3 Ball Media Group\u2019s Reinout Oerlemans said: \u201cSo much of regular life has been upended during this crisis and so to be able to find and act on the bright spots, as creatives, is extremely gratifying. We know athletes live to compete and that they haven\u2019t been able to during the COVID lockdowns. We also know that audiences are clamoring for fun and exciting content that can feel inspirational. This show can rally the whole family around a unique and positive entertainment experience that blends serious athleticism with fun and feel-good humor\u2014all done in a way that is safe and COVID-compliant for all involved, and culminates with a significant donation on behalf of the winning athlete. Not to side too much with one sport, we see <em>The Container Cup<\/em> as a home run.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. rights for the Belgian competition series The Container Cup have been secured by 3 Ball Productions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":7642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2076,2077],"class_list":["post-7641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-3-ball-productions","tag-the-container-cup","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>3 Ball Productions Picks Up U.S. Rights for The Container Cup - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"3 Ball Productions Picks Up U.S. Rights for The Container Cup - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The U.S. rights for the Belgian competition series The Container Cup have been secured by 3 Ball Productions.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-05-22T14:39:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-05-22T15:05:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/3-ball-productions-520.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"469\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/\",\"name\":\"3 Ball Productions Picks Up U.S. Rights for The Container Cup - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-05-22T14:39:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-05-22T15:05:02+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/3-ball-productions-picks-up-rights-to-the-container-cup\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"3 Ball Productions Picks Up U.S. Rights for The Container Cup\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
