Description:
Freestyle Focus:

The art of freestyle roping was once the most popular and admired skill in the history of the game.

Warmers were a place where like minded individuals could hang out all night and show off their physical prowess with the rope while having interesting conversations and making life long friends.

We're bringing Warmer back!


Signups:

This Cup is invite only, limited to 8 players.

However, it is still Public, which means anyone good enough can enter!

This is an event for the best of the best, you need to prove you can rope at a high enough level in order to compete in this event.

If you do not meet a certain level of skill, you will not be accepted and will be removed from the Signups list.

However the good news is this event is planned to happen often in the future so you can always improve and compete next time if you are not good enough yet.

The Cup will start once there are 8 players who have passed the skill criteria.


Rules:

The entire Cup will use 1 map:

Oldschool Hangout | https://www.tus-wa.com/maps/map-17277/



In each match both players get 2x 60 second turns to warm up, then 1x 60 seconds to do their best roping and impress the judges!

The Cup scheme features Rubberworm, so you can focus on getting the best stretch of roping you can even if you make a few mistakes along the way.

There will be 3 judges, myself and 2 others to be decided, 2 other people I can trust to judge fairly. If not I'll do it myself.

There are 2 ways each match will be judged:

  • The match will be streamed live with all 3 judges with a decision made there and then.
  • The match will be streamed live by myself then discussed after by all 3 judges via Discord, then the winner can report after the decision.


Live Streams:

It will be mandatory that ALL matches will be scheduled in advance and streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/WormsArmageddonCWA

Deadlines:

There will be deadlines set for each stage, there will be no extensions.

Group Stage - 4 weeks
Playoffs Semi Finals - 2 weeks
Playoffs Final - 2 weeks

It is each players responsibility to organize their matches before the deadline.

Organizing your matches within the official Cup thread takes priority over all other forms of communication with your opponent when judging who will proceed due to unfinished matches.

Though players can organize their matches outside of TUS if they wish.


Prize Pool:

1st - £20

2nd - £10

3rd - £5


ALL PRIZES ARE PAID VIA PAYPAL OR STEAM GAME GIFT UP TO THE VALUE OF THE PRIZE MONEY

Yeah, it's a great idea though unfortunately seems there aren't many players who enjoy Warmers these days.

I'll leave it until Sunday and see if anything happens then, maybe/hopefully some people are preparing replays.

I know a few players who said they wanted to take part at least.

Yeah, it is always exciting to play Warmers every time I get a new keyboard. :D

I've messaged multiple people for this Cup, it's a shame Twitch wasn't around in  1999-2004, we would have been legends in the world of online gaming lol.

Not that I wanted to join.. But You should no more discriminate ppl by "Only players with a "played games percentage" above 60% are allowed to enter." rule.

This game is dead, lets be honest,  so if anyone who is still there is interested, I would let him join.

You could make that rule 10 years ago, while in ag at any time was 50-60 ppl and leageu was much active, but making this rule doesnt make sense for me.
Even tho,  You should consider situations that You join cup, u are mixed with some inactive ppl , u cant play ur games, and even if that is not ur fault, ur cup ratio games will no more be 60%.
Just sayin,
Look what is goin on in cwt

I would join this cup, it just seems impossible to make a demo replay. And I think it is not necessary. Most ppl who  would join you might know anyhow.
But yea, that's what keeps me from join atm. xd
And I heard that from other ppl actually who are thinking of joining.

Ok, I'll remove the need for a demo replay, and take away the join percentage.

Though, I will remove players who are either aliases, or not known to be at least somewhat capable on the rope.

Edit:

Ok, hopefully these changes will attract some players now! I strongly believe this has the potential to grow into a very popular and lucrative event!

The thing is is that the scheme warner and freestyle has become such niche scheme that it only attracts a small numbers of people. Most new and regular people today on WA play Kaos, mole, shopper, and Normal at least for the most part. If a new or regular player sees people freestyle in warmer it might overwhelm them, perhaps even scare them away and thus alienating them because freestyle may look aimless to them. It is the barrier to leave a comfort zone to overcome a new skill that may be menacing. So people opt to what is ''current'' and ''easy'' to get by. Freestyle is not easy to get into because it involves a lot of intricacies. To my experience, a new player or even a regular player sees a experienced roper rope around in a rope scheme, they sometime state that they aren't good enough for you and the scheme, and therefore they choose to leave. Though I think freestyle could be revitalized if it is done easy and in a welcoming fashion.

Heck, even I don't like trick race because I don't like being told how to rope and what to do. Sometime I get compliments ''Wow nice (insert trick name)'' and my reply would normally be ''Heh I just rope''.

in the end this cup would have been more popular 10-20 years ago, but these players aren't around anymore. That doesn't mean the game is dead, it just means the focus has shifted.

Yes, it's true that new players opt for easier schemes, or at least beginner friendly schemes like Kaos and Intermediate.

Things like TTRR / Big RR even struggle to get activity let alone Warmer.

Free signed up though, he was a boss Warmer back in the day.

We can start even if we get 6 people.

Not hatred. I just have two left hands.

That being said I think I would rope well in the roping freestyle!

Well, unfortunately the dream for a Warmer Cup is over! :'(

Such a shame, never has this game seen so much skill as the Warmer era between 1999 and 2004...
