If the match must be terminated prematurely, it should be ended with the “/finish” command if it is an official match and the result is to be entered, or “/cancel” otherwise. Players should not move their tanks when a match is paused, or should re-take their positions prior to resuming the match. The game timer may be paused when necessary by initiating the command “/pause”, and may be resumed by the command '/resume'. All players should rejoin the server prior to or during the countdown, and must not spawn until the countdown has ended. Matches are strictly voluntary, and no player shall be compelled to match any unwanted opponent nor to agree to any match conditions. If both teams score the same number of points, the match is a tie.Ī match begins when all players on both teams signal that they are ready and a player initiates the “/official” command (or “/fm” in the case of a funmatch). When a team captures their own flag on the opposing team's base, that point is counted for the opposing team. The winner of a match is the team which captured the flag more times than the other team by the end of the match. The match length may be set before the match starts by using the '/timelimit' command.

A match may be 15, 20, or 30 minutes in length (excluding pauses). Simply put, you cannot play against your own teammates in an official.

Official matches are never between teammates of same team. Matches consist of official matches (between two league teams, with the result recorded and used for team rankings) and funmatches (between two arbitrary groups of players, with the result not counted or recorded). Multiple map styles are available for use in league matches. All official match servers are listed on the league website. Matches are held on official league match servers. A disbanded team may be revived by an administrator upon the request of at least two former members or a former leader, and the requesting member will be assigned as the new team leader. A player may leave a team (reassigning leadership or disbanding the team first, as necessary) at any time. A team leader is responsible for inviting new members to the team, or configuring the team to be open for anyone to join. TEAMSĪ player may be a member of one league team (having a membership on more than one team or maintaining any kind of control over a team while being a member of a different team is prohibited). Administrators are not required to remove and re-add a player from/to the spawn group for the player's convenience or if such requests are unreasonably frequent. A player may renounce his membership by contacting an administrator and requesting to be removed from the spawn list. A player may have only one account on the spawn list, and must not allow other people to play using his account. Players are considered to be league members upon being added to the league 'spawn group' on the BZFlag Bulletin Board, which allows playing and talking privileges on league match servers.
