Player taz (moonpix) has written a tutorial clarifying how lag affects the BZFlag gameplay. This tutorial provides lengthy explanations on how lag works, along with debunking common myths about lag, especially within the leagues.

I recommend that all players, veterans and newbies alike, read this to help better understand lag. I will post the link here, but you can also find it in the Links section of the site. If you have any questions or comments relating to the tutorial, please private message taz on the official BZFlag forums.

Demystifying Lag

LTS - Here we go again

At the 20th of June BZFlag is providing you with another Death-Match-Event always known as "Last Tank Standing".
Players should start to gather at around 17:30 UTC, the spectacle itself will start at 18:00 UTC which means 20:00 in Germany and 11:00 am in America. Place to be is "brad.openleague.net port:5190"

This time the threat of the "all rouge war" will meet the unpredictability of the Ducati-Style map.

I hope you enjoy the competition.

All the best,
Lisl
