Once you've found and joined a team you like you can immediately start matching! There are some rules you should take into account before doing so though.
	~~=Settings and Options=~~

	A big part of the GU league, is being able to compete. But the premise for that, is having good settings that will make things like dodging, shooting and jumping a lot easier. A very large amount of the GU players use mouse and only a dozen keyboard. If you are just starting out, I would recommend you try playing with mouse first, as many things will be easier to do later on.
	~~In this game, it's impossible to become the best dodger, jumper and shooter at the same time. These are two if not three completely different types of playing that require many different settings.~~

	Most of the setting adjustment is done by the [[Config_File]], as you can not exercise all your possibilities in the GUI options. You can find a lot of detailed information by using the [http://my.bzflag.org/bb/search.php Search option on BZBB]. Many players have posted their personal configs and other tips there.

	For mouse players, these individual playing styles, also mean individual mouse settings. Mousebox size, mouse DPI, mouse sensitivity are all crucial. Usually slower mouse settings and a big mouseboxsize, will enable you to be a better jumper and or shooter, while fast, sensitive, precise mouse settings and a small to even negative mouseboxsize will be enable you to dodge better.
	~~Next to all the native options, some players use mouse enhancement applications, see [http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=103&t=13245 Whitelist] for further info.~~

	~~Very experienced players however, are known to be able to jump, shoot and dodge with extreme precision. So, no setting in the world is going to help, if you don't practice and play enough.~~
