'''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.

'''BBall''', is a competitive format in Team Fortress 2, it is played usually with teams of 2 players, the only class allowed being soldier. It is a gameplay modification for the game played on maps that have been purposely created or altered for the game mode. The mod focuses on allowing individuals to practice their rocket jumping and air shooting skills.
  
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.
+
It is considered a great source of movement and aim practice, as such, it is often highly regarded amongst high level players.

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.
+
The gamemode is possible due to custom maps made by the community. There are a plethora of different [[:Category:Bball_maps|bball maps]] but the most popular ones are [[Ballin Sky]] and [[Bball comptf|Bball Comptf]], the maps work like a [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] map would, the only difference is that the Intelligence simulates the ball and the hoops on each side of the field represent where the player can score "a cap".
