The most recent build of beta brought so many beloved features back to us, Including BGs. Unfortunately the queue isn't working 100% correctly.

Since I can't seem to find any battlegrounds, I must assume that most testers think they aren't functioning, but they are. At least, you can use them to queue. Keep in mind that unless players have been successfully placed in a given Battleground recently, then the time in queue will say "unavailable". Please queue anyway so that we can get pvp testing rolling again!

To aid in others jumping back into the PvP action, I'll explain how to queue for the battleground you want in the 8/13 build. If you don't wish to read alot of text, i've made a key for the popular battlegrounds at the bottom of this post.

First here's the list of the Battlegrounds as they appear in game:

Wintergrasp
Tol Barad
Random Battleground
Strand of the Ancients
Twin Peaks
The Battle for Gilneas
Warsong Gultch
Arathi Basin
Alterac Valley
Eye of the Storm
Isle of Conquest

Wintergrasp and Tol Barad work as they should. You queue for one, you get into that one. But there's a trick to the remaining battlegrounds, including Random Battleground. When you queue for a battleground, your queue icon will appear on the edge of your minimap, but if you look at what you are queued for, it isn't the battleground you selected. As one of the greatest books in the universe says, don't panic.

The battleground you ARE queued for is the BG listed two below the one you selected. The picture below gives an example.

======================================
Twin Peaks <---battleground selected on menu
======================================
The Battle for Gilneas
Warsong Gultch <---battleground I end up queued for
Arathi Basin
Alterac Valley

Queueing for The Battle for Gilneas would queue you for Arathi Basin, and so on with Warsong Gultch and Alterac Valley.This applies to every battleground on the list except two.

One may ask:

If Tol Barad and Wintergrasp work correctly then how do I queue for Random Battleground and Strand of The Ancients?

This is a little trickier, because it breaks the pattern. To queue for Random Battleground, you need to select Isle of Conquest, and to queue for Strand of the Ancients, you need to select Eye of the Storm. Note that if you think of the list as a loop excluding Tol Barad and Wintergrasp, this still goes out of the pattern, as Random Battleground is at the start of the list and Isle of Conquest is at the end.

======================================================
Here's a queuing key for what I imagine are the most popular options:
======================================================
Tol Barad: Working Correctly

Wintergrasp: Working Correctly

Random Battleground: Queue for Isle of Conquest

Twin Peaks: Queue for Random Battleground

The Battle for Gilneas: Queue for Strand of the Ancients

See you on the Battlefield!

Edit:
As a clarification I use Gilneas(US) for most of my testing, so this may be different on your realm/in your country's build.
