Description:
It's time for another timetrial cup, but with a special twist! Where my previous TT cup had low gravity, this one has powered down ropes.
I got mostly positive remarks about the RRkit tourney I hosted with this format and I hope this cup will be no different.
Start with 3 worms and the best time wins

Some remarks about activity: if you're not active in finding your opponents, don't bother signing up.
This cup will have deadlines and I'm going to keep them. If you can't play because of vacation/sickness/family matters, please let me know. I'm not unreasonable and will make exceptions regarding the deadline for this sort of thing

The group phase will have bo3 games and you'll have 3 weeks to finish.

The knockout phase will have bo5 games (including the finals) and you'll have 2 weeks to finish each round.

What to do if a group is not active? You need to have played at least 2 games to qualify for the next round and you need to have won 50% or more.
If there are 2 people with the same amount of wins tying for second place, the person with most games played will advance.

If you are trying to find your opponent (which includes arranging the game in the cup thread) and your opponents are inactive, then I will make an exception to that rule.
"I can't find my opponent" is NOT good enough.

If both players are inactive in the knockouts, then neither player goes through to the next round.

And finally, if there's not enough activity, I'll close the cup before it finishes, but I think 3 weeks for the group phase and 2 weeks for one game after that is more than enough
