How to play in the GU league? (Cited from www.guleague.org)

Follow These Steps

1. Register your callsign on the official forum (click on register tab, top right side): The BZFLAG forum is HERE.
2. Now that your tank is registered, you have to be able to spawn(play). To do that, login on this site using your registered callsign and password and message one of the administrative team (contact page) to get your callsign on GU league group list. If you are not on the list your callsign cannot spawn or talk.
3. Last but not least, you can have one callsign on the GU league group list only, and you can belong to one team only. ONE person, ONE callsign, ONE team. Simple. Double identities on the GU league group list or belonging to more than one team will get you banned. We are very serious about this as it is considered as cheating.

If you fail any of above you will not be able to play. Global login and membership of the GU league group is required to play. Just ask us and you are in!
Note: If you are not in a team and you do not log onto the site during a 2 month period, your account will be automatically deleted and you will be removed from the spawn list.

Finally, to best enjoy the league you should join a team/clan or make a team of your own, teams have between 2 and 10 members usually. Official league matches are the real fun of the league...

Your quick guide to matches

Welcome fellow tankers! This is a quick guide which will teach you everything you need to know about GU league matches, and even more! So, let's start:

General

• All matches are held on the HIX map.
• All matches are of CTF type, with two teams: red andpurple.
• The duration of the matches is 20 or 30 minutes.
• All matches have at least 4 players.
• Every match is saved in a replay file.
• You need to have asked permission from a guleague admin in order to spawn.
• All teams are even, on rare cases though, one team might have one more player than the other (see below).
• If you've joined as an observer, you'd better use the team chat, unless there is something everybody needs to know (e.g. 2 in should go to general chat, while Do you like cakes? goes to observer chat)
• If two players to join during a match, they have to yell2 in (which means that 2 players hould join the game) and every player has to agree. Then they should join on their corresponding team and commit suicide once before playing.

Official Matches (offi)

• Official matches happen between members of two different teams (e.g. Reptiles face Apocalypse)
• Official matches are recorded in the official guleague site and on this blog.
• Winners are judged by number of flag captures (caps) only, not individual player score.
• After every match, one player has to report its results (including GMT time, teams, score and duration) to a guleague admin.
• Sometimes, a team might request 1 more player, making the game uneven. This is done in order to increase the fun of the game, but happens rarely. Consent of all players is required.

Fun Matches (fm)

• Fun matches do not have limitations on who can join: There can be players from any team, and, for example, a Reptile might even face another Reptile.
• Fun matches aren't reported or recorded, they only happen for fun.

Servers

Official and fun matches take place on the official guleague servers. A list can be found at http://www.guleague.org/Servertracker/. Abbreviations are used, such as we offi at brad's 57, which means "We should hold an official match at brad.guleague.org:5157.
Port 5159 is always used for replays.
