lmfao Komi, even the playerbase of mole shopper has/had 3 times as much players than warmer or trick racers..
Nope.
When Worms Armageddon was in it's prime, between 1999 and 2003, Warmers were the most popular scheme, of all time.
More people played it at the same time, it has had more top players than most schemes combined.
It has the least sense in a competitive sense if you focus on playing battles and stuff, but it's one of the most influential scheme of all time as far as I'm concerned.
Edit:
Think of it like... Skateboarding... People freestyle in competitions, Warmers are like that.
If you get it, you get it, if you don't, you don't.
It's either the best thing ever, or you don't care about it at all.
Needless to say, it's without a doubt that Warmers were the most popular scheme back in the golden ERA of WormNET where you would have literally hundreds and hundreds of exceptionally skilled players all playing this scheme for multiple hours on end without breaks.
No other scheme has even came close to that.
I miss those days, and will do everything in my power to get it back on some level again!
If people want to change details of this event to join up, give me your suggestions, I'm open to it!

As to what impresses the judges, that's why we will have 3 judges.
The main things which are impressive in Warmer and Freestyling is:
Speed - How fast you can go in general, in all aspects, that means doing tricks and moves as fast as possible, it's more impressive to have that level of control. Though, saying that, it's also impressive to switch it up and do some moves that are slower!
Consistency - So consistency comes into play more when you are doing riskier moves, and not failing. So think of consistency as in, keeping it going without failure or mistakes.
Creativity - This is self explanatory... It's about doing things that aren't common. To think of combos which aren't done often, or moves in places people usually don't do them.
Variety - This is self explanatory as well... It's might sound similar to creativity but it's not quite. Variety is just mixing it up with a bunch of different stuff so you aren't too repetitive.
Adaptability - This is very important as well... Being adaptive means you can switch it up in an instant... You might go for a certain trick, but can see you aren't going to make it in time so you adapt and quickly execute something that does work! If you are good enough at this, it can look like everything was meant purposely!
