2. "BZFlag" is based on what classic arcade-style video game?

3. There are two types of flags in the game: Colored or team based, and what aptly named powerful white flags?

Superflags are white colored flags which, when grabbed, can transform the composition, weaponry, or physical ability of a tank. Some of these powers include Cloaking, Stealth, Laser, Guided Missile, and Wings.

Answer: "Pass"

In performing a "pass", a player tank simply drops the team flag while above a restricted area or pyramid. This is often executed when attempting to move the flag speedily across a map.
6. "BZFlag" is a game in which anyone, programmer or not, can contribute to the development of, and is also usually free to download. What is this type of software called?

Answer: Good luck, have fun.

This greeting is not required in order to play, though it is an unwritten rule and should be said at the start of each match. After the match, players usually conclude the fun by saying "gg" or "goodgame".
10. The GULeague also features a biannual tournament for the respective top 20 players from each continent (North America and Europe), facing off. What was the appropriate name given to the tournament?

Answer: Riker Cup

The first Riker Cup took place in July of 2007. It is named the "Rikey Cup" because of the fact that is a played on the HiX map, which was derived from a map by Tim Riker.
