Enter the queue
You can go to the battlemaster at the major cities to enter the Battleground queue. Once you sign onto the queue, remember that you can do whatever you want while you wait. While waiting, you could use your hearthstone to port back to town to manage your bank account, check out the auction house, or send mail. Or you could also head off into the world and work on some quests, or kill monsters for loot and reputation gain. Once the battleground is ready, you can enter it from wherever you happen to be. Keep in mind that outside of its holiday weekend, Alterac Valley will tend to have the longest average queue of the four battlegrounds.

Joining a fresh Alterac Valley game
Before the gates open and the match starts, there is a brief waiting time for the team to completely fill up and for any last-minute preparations such as casting buffs. Move up to the closed gate so you can get out and into the action as soon as possible. As soon as the match starts and the gate opens, rush through and mount up. Go go go! Follow the pack of players into enemy territory. If you're playing a defensive role, stop when you see the enemy rush and slow down their advance. If you're on offense, you will be heading for the enemy fortress, capturing and taking down some strategic objectives on the way.

Queuing with friends
For Alterac Valley, there is no option to join as a preformed group. However, by clicking on the "join battle" button at the same time, you and your friends have a chance of entering the same battleground. When the pop-up appears notifying you of your ability to enter the battleground, you can confirm which Alterac Valley you received and compare with your friends. If not enough of your group got into the same battleground, you can always leave the queue and try again. Alternately, your group can manually queue for a particular Alterac Valley instance by selecting it from the available battleground list when queuing. However, queuing for specific battleground instances can result in significantly longer waiting times, since it won't necessarily be the first available instance.

Joining a game in progress
If you have joined a game that has already started, open up the map with the "m" key. Each person on your side (Alliance or Horde) is represented on the map by a dot. You can mouse over the dots to see player names too. Where the players on your team are and what objectives your side controls can give you an idea of how the battle is going. You can review the Alterac Interactive Map for more details about the various important locations on the map. Also, you can open up the score screen on your minimap to see how long the game has been going. If the match has been going on for a significant length of time, it's possible there is some sort of stalemate in progress.
