Many 100s

Alliance has been dominant since Cata. All the good pvp'rs went human for the racial.

if you are alliance, u can queue up as horde and vice versa.

Then you get the race and racial of the class you turn into.

The class you turn into is:

Human ↔ Orc
Night elf ↔ Forsaken
Gnome ↔ Tauren
Dwarf ↔ Troll
Draenei ↔ Blood elf
Worgen ↔ Goblin
Panda gues what Panda

How can you que up as the opposing faction? Does it do it automatically?

Post is a bit dated but I assume it is still in effect: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/9978435/

"We’re pleased to announce that during maintenance this week region-wide battleground matchmaking was rolled out in Europe. From now on, all realms for our European players are matched together for battlegrounds. While your teams will continue to consist only of players from your language region, you may meet opponents from all over Europe...."

This goes for US / whatever else as well.

"With the introduction of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and Rated battlegrounds, battlegroups no longer apply to battlegrounds.[1][2] Players from different battlegroups can PvP against each other in both random and rated battlegrounds if they are in the same region (US, EU, etc.)... "

More from players who paraphrase Blue's: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/10716131802

"What the blue poster directly stated was "Now, your battlegroup is basically your server to start. Then if there is not enough players to populate a BG, the system can keep extending out father and farther as necessary to fill the queue". That 'quote' wasn't meant to really be a direct linked quote, but the idea is that it attempts to pool from your server first, and every server is one big battlegroup in reality and can be drawn from if needed to find players.
