Clan Games
  • Clan Supported Games are games BBF actively supports and may or may not be of a competitive nature.
  • All games are still encouraged to be as competitive as possible.
  • Clan Supported Games are encouraged to have a minimum of one clan match or similar function bi-weekly (depending on type of game) and are also required to have two clan practices bi-weekly.
  • Practice must be centered on improving game play for the clan.
  • To add a new game - A poll will be placed in the "Future Games" forum by the RC indicating that we are considering a new game. The game requires 10 votes in one week or 5 members in an active ladder or significant ranking as approved by the RC/DC to reach Clan Supported Game status. Once the requirements are met, a forum is created for the game and a member is chosen to be GC.
