Editing BBall

'''BBall''' is a 2v2 competitive format for Team Fortress 2. BBall is played with two teams of two [[Soldier|Soldiers]] in a fast-paced, [[Glossary#DM|DM-focused]] gamemode similar to [[MGE]] that affords players an opportunity to hone their rocket jumping and projectile aim. The mod is solely played on small, custom-made maps that are for the most part functionally identical. 

The mod is largely played casually, with a focus on training a players' movement and aim. Hence, BBall is featured in a large number of MGE maps and organised BBall competitions are relatively uncommon. Nonetheless, BBall has been played competitively in a number of regions since its inception in early 2008.

There is a wide variety of different [[:Category:Bball_maps|BBall maps]] created by the community - the most popular of those are [[BBall Ballin Sky]] and [[BBall CompTF]]. The maps work as a normal [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] map would in the sense that each team has an intelligence briefcase and to capture the intel you must take it to the enemies' hoop.
