How to play league! (How to report?)
How to play
First find someone to play with! 
People normally ask like 'TUS anyone?' in worms channels, mostly in #AnythingGoes.
At the moment, TUS is providing 3 type of leagues:
- Classic league:
- BnG
- Elite
- Hysteria
- Roper
- Shopper
- Team17
- TTRR (no RR or big RR)
- WxW
- TNL: (TUS Normal League)
- Only the Intermediate scheme
- Free league:
- Boom Race
- Bungee Race
- Capture The Flag
- Forts
- Holy War
- Jetpack Race
- Mine Madness
- Mole Shopper
- Parachute Race
- Super Sheep Race
- Walk For Weapons
Tell your opponent what league you want to play. Each person picks one scheme.
For example: Player 1 picks WxW and player 2 picks Team17. Both players can pick the same scheme.
The winner of each scheme comes to site and reports his/her game.
For example, if your game result was 1:1, Then you must report the scheme you won.
You can find the leagues basic rules HERE.
You can find the Schemes rules HERE.
How to Report
Goto the Leagues page, and click on "Report a game" on your action panel.
OR you can goto your user panel. I have put a direct report link on your user panel.
In the report page,
Always select the options from top to bottom, Because by selecting some options, Other elements on the page may change.
Choose your league type, Classic, TNL or Free?
Choose how many players took part. Meaning was your game 1vs1, 2vs2 or 3vs3 ? ( yea you can play 3vs3 games!)
If your game was a clanner or a country game select it in the game style select box. Was it single, Clanner or a country game?
Type in your buddies (If any) and opponents.
Don't know his name correct spell? no problem at all!
Just type a part(even 1 character) of his name, no matter where that part is in his/her name.
For example, by the letters "io" :
System will give me :
Select the name from there, and you are relief from typing the name 
There's an arrow beside each player name field. If you click on that arrow it will refresh the suggestion list.
If you have set the game style to clanner or country, Another field will appear to help you find your buddies and opponents easier.
In this field, Select your opponent clan or country. When selecting them, Then buddies field and opponents field will change accordingly.
For example If you selected your opponents clan, The biddies field will show you only your own clan members and opponents field will show only the opponents clan members. Same goes for country case.
Select the scheme that you won.
*Each player(Team) reports the scheme they have won.
Select who picked this scheme that you are reporting. Was it your opponent's pick or yours? Or it was both side agreement? (Like a 3rd game)
If the League is TNL, Then instead of the pick options, You will see game result options. Simply type in your game result. e.g. 3-1
There's 'Free Win' checkbox, if you check this option, You are asking for a free win and you won't need to upload the game replay. We allow free wins in special circumstances. So you better have a good explanation why you are reporting this free win.
If you dont' check the checkbox, Then it is a normal win and you have to upload your game replay.
Choose your game replay from your hard drive.
Why there are more than 1 place for replay uploading?
If you agreed with your opponent that you play a bo3 game OR somehow you finished your game in 2 or more replays. (Someone crashed or something).
Upload all the replays.
*Your game replay is located at: /Worms Folder/user/games/
The last option is "More games to report".
If you select yes, The report page won't redirect you to the recent games, Instead you will be redirect again to the report page which you can report other games.
If you select no, You will be redirected to the recent games page to see your games.
Click on Report and you are done!
So to sum up :
You can play :
2vs2, 3vs3 Clanners (For Classic and Free)
2vs2, 3vs3 Country games (For Classic and Free)
2vs2, 3vs3 Squad games (For TNL)
1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3 single games. (For Classic and Free)
1vs1 games (For TNL)
Go nuts 
League Points Pattern
Points calculation system changed based on ELO formula tuned for TUS.
The base (standard point) to gain or lose is 40. (Same win points like previous, but losing points are now 40 too.)
Points calculation system is now points-base instead of rate-base. But system will just use ranks to "label" your points.
Each 60 points are one rank.
Starting from 1000 (Absolute Beginner) up to 2200 or more (Elite).
The max points someone can gain is 80. Beating a lower skilled player will cause gaining less points than what it was before. So hopefully less noobbashing this time.

How to post comment for an specific game
One of TUS features is being a Database for so many things.
Since no replay gets deleted on TUS, I thought it would be nice thing that we could talk about games.
So each game received its own page.
To enter a game page, Simply click on its ID, or you can click on the "number of comments" it has.
If a game has more than a page for comments, some links will appear under the "number of comments" that looks like this :
Which you can go to an specific page by it.
As the recent games page always shows the newest games first, So you may miss a new comment which has been posted. Because it is not like the forum that new posts comes to top. (Because here the games are new posts not their comments )
To solve this problem, You can sort the games by their "Last Comment", Click on the last comment :
So that it will sort all the games by their last comment time.
What is Analyzer?
Leagues Analyzer is originally suggested by pr.
It will analyze your future games, So that you will know what scheme you should pick to gain the most possible points from your opponent, OR maybe lose ? XD
It is very similar to the report page, just choose your opponent and the way your game will be and click on the analyze button.
It will give you all the information about the schemes :
The yellow numbers are the points being gained or lost.
The left number next to a yellow number is the points before that game (Current points).
the right number is the final points after the game.
Leagues Rules
Leagues Rules
1) General Rules, Behavior
- Spamming is disallowed in the games and also on our site. You may not fluster your opponent by writing pointless materials constantly.
- Insulting other players, people is always disallowed in games and also on our site.
- As there might be some players under the age of 18, no sexual content may be uploaded or shown on the site.
- No racial or any other discrimination is allowed on our site or in the games. Any behavious like that will be highly penalized.
- Cheating by any program is highly forbidden. Anyone caught on cheating may be banned for the whole season (at the moderators discretion).
- Noone may use alias and ask for league games under alias or claim one's Cup or Tourney game under alias. Getting caught with aliasing results banning (at the moderators discretion).
- Registering double accounts is forbidden, results banning.
- No graves or teamnames may be used that might confuse the opponent.
- You can play the same opponent 15 times in the same season in the same league. Report page will give you an error if you try to report more games.
2) Lag-outs
- If one player lags out and returns to the given channel, the game should be continued with handicap or restarted.
- If a player lags out and is not seen online 10 minutes later, then the game is taken care of by the following rules:
- If it was the first game, then the game should not be reported, rather played at another time.
- If it was the second game and the loser of the first game was seemingly losing the second game too, it can be reported. At any other occasion the moderators will decide about the outcome of the game, after it is posted to the forum's League Complaints section.
- Moderators will never decide about the outcome of a game considering the skills of the players. Always the state of the game is what the moderators consider.
3) Quitting
- If a player quits a game before it ends and does not return to the given channel in 10 minutes, no matter how the game was going on, it will be void OR either the win will be given to his/her opponent if the quitting player was seemingly losing (at the moderators discretion).
- If a player returns to the channel but does not want to continue the game, then the quitting player's opponent automatically wins.
- Only acceptable way of quitting is if the quitting is reasonable and the quitting player agrees with his/her opponent on playing the game another time.
- Mostly the moderators will consider the state of the game, the way of the quitting, how the conversation went on and also the number of the game (first or second) and then decide about the outcome of the game(s).
- Lag-outs and Quittings that could not be solved between the two players must be posted to League Complaints.
4) Proceeding
- First, you need to find a partner. Then you decide which kind of league you want to play: Classic or Free. Both of you have to pick one scheme and play those two games.
- Before the first game start, both of you have to tell what your username on the site is. Missing to do this might have your games infirmed.
- After you finished the games, and the games result is 1-1, you can agree on playing a third game.
- EVERY GAME MUST BE REPORTED! This means DoN (Double or Nothing) games are highly forbidden!
5) Reporting
- Winner of a game reports his own game. Losers do not need to confirm anything.
- The game must be reported within an hour after the game was played. Failing to do this results in the game being infirmed.
- Loading up a fake replay is obviously forbidden. Getting caught with this results in banning.
6) Playoffs
- Playoffs are played between the first eight players of the leagues' total stats, and only those get in who played the required minimum games. Playoffs are basically a smaller tourney and the site generates the pairs automatically.
- You must play at least 50 games in the season to get in to the Playoffs. (30 games for clans)
- Each round of the playoffs stand of 5 different picks. The players pick schemes by turns and the higher ranked player has the advantage of picking first.
- In the Classic League, the first four games must include two rope based schemes (Rope Race, Roper, WxW/Shopper) and two normal schemes (BnG, Team17, Elite, Hysteria). The last game is picked by the higher ranked player and can be any of these schemes.
- Deadlines are usually posted on the forums by the moderators, based on activity at the moderators discretion.
How to browse previous leagues (Time Machine)
There's a Time Machine select box at the top of most league pages :
Select the season you want, and click on the "Set, GO!". It changes the leagues time to that season in all pages. For example If you set the time machine to season #1 in recent games page, The stats page will show you the season #1 result too, so does every other page.
There's another option called "Show me the overall stats". This will show you ALL the seasons together, Without any time limitation. For example if you want to see players stats by every single game they've played, not only by 1 season, OR you want to see a player rank in TUS, Set the Time Machine to this option.
I guess this is be the easiest way to find something in previous leagues or maybe to compare same page in different leagues.
How to find an specific game (Leagues Search)
First I wanted to code some "advanced" search which gives a lot of options. I thought to make 1 field for search and include all the "advanced" things inside it.
In all of the leagues pages you can see the search field :
The search field combine all the words you type together, Tries to find all the words.
If you have doubts about your words, you can include !or in your search words, so that the system tries to find games that have at least one of your words.
For example:
MonkeyIsland WxW Roper !or
Will give you all the games containing: MonkeyIsland OR WxW OR Roper
But this one:
MonkeyIsland WxW Roper
Will give you all the games containing: MonkeyIsland AND WxW AND Roper
If you are looking for a sentence you can put it in the double quotes:
"The Ultimate Site"
will give you games containing that line. but
The Ultimate Site
Gives you games with word The AND Ultimate AND Site.
The words you enter are being searched in the :
- Game IDs
- Players names
- Schemes
- League type (Classic, TNL, Free ...)
- Game type (1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3)
- Game style (Single, Clanner, Country, Squad)
- The uploaded replay name
- In-game chat
That's all. nothing hard
Just some examples how to search :
1. Are you looking for a game you know its ID? then its the easiest search :
e.g. Type "4365" (without the quotes)
2. Looking for games for specific players?
e.g. Type "pr f4st" (without the quotes)
3. Looking for games for specific players and specific scheme?
e.g. Type "pr f4st ttrr" (without the quotes)
4. Looking for games for specific players and specific scheme and specific game style?
e.g. Type "pr chelsea ttrr clanner" (without the quotes)
5. Looking for games for specific players and specific game type?
e.g. Type "pr chelsea 2vs2" (without the quotes)
6. Looking for games for specific clans?
e.g. Type "pp clanner" (without the quotes)
You can combine as many words as you want and the order doesn't matter.
An example of game replay search:
I searched for "pr", in the last page :
http://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/search/pr-16/
There's a game (last one when I'm writing this), KeKkO vs Artharas.
If you download the replay you will see that pr was watching their game.
Had a bad start? You can reset!
Have you had a bad start? You can reset your entire stat, Yaaaaay!!!
ok. Before you get confused,
You are allowed to reset your stats:
1. Once per each season
2. In the first half of each season.
3. If the stats you want to reset is under 1000.
Otherwise you will see the reset button is disabled.
If you reset your current season stats, Your games in that season will be reset and you can keep your previous points + a new start in the current season.
When you reset your entire stats:
1. Your overall stats will be reset, Which means if someone watch your overall stats he/she will see that you have 1000 points.
2. When you report a game, The league system counts your new points and won't look at your history.
3. Your history WON'T be reset. If someone look at your stats in previous seasons he will actually see your stats in that time. Why?
If everyone could reset his stats permanently, Then we shouldn't keep any history at all.
If you reset your current season stats, You get to reset your entire stats as well anytime in that current season (If we are in the first half of that season). But if you reset your entire stats, The current season button will get disable too. In other words, The reset button for entire stats is like History reset + current season reset.
