Description:


Welcome to second Wheel of Fortune Cup!

Challenge your luck by spinning Wheel of Fortune with 67 schemes that are evenly distributed on the wheel. Each match with another player will be accompanied by a randomly selected scheme, which may be a surprise for both you and your opponent.

It will be a test for brave players who will be able to accept the challenge of fate :P

Wheel of Fortune will have all the standard TUS league (classic, free league) schemes, as well as some variations of the same scheme and some rarely played schemes. The list did not include PX schemes.

You will have enough time to play your games (3-4 weeks for group and 3-4 weeks for K/O), don't worry. All you need is the desire to face the randomness face to face, a good mood and the desire to win :)

How cup will work?

Spoiler! View

  • Registration of players (as many as possible)
  • Cup groups draw (distribution of players in groups)
  • There will be a draw for each group, for each pair of players in the group, and also in the playoff stage for each pair on Twitch
    (This will need to be done at every stage of the cup again, because that's the point of this cup. Full random.)
  • Each pair of players plays the scheme that fell out to them in the process of drawing lots.
    Notes will be indicated for each scheme     (rules, scheme, how many wins, the number of worms in the team, etc.).
  • Winner makes a report.


TheKomodo agreed to help me especially for this event. The draw for the group rounds, as well as each stage of the playoffs, will take place in real time on Twitch.
This adds coolness to the event.

Each time the wheel of fortune spins there will be a result and contain the name of the scheme.
Before the start of the main draw, three schemes will be selected, which are called "colorless". They will be useful in controversial situations when it will be difficult to determine the participant in the playoffs (applies to the group round). As soon as the need arises, the cup moderator or his assistant will assign a game using "colorless" schemes in the order they appear.

The Wheel of Fortune contains about 67 different schemes, general rules and cup scheme rules here:

You can familiarize yourself with the rules of the schemes and download scheme
by clicking red book on scheme list

I must ask you to include Race Stuff (/rs or !version rs) in Racing schemes and some others (TTRR, BigRR, SSR, Parachute Race, Golf, Tower RR, Darts, Wascar, Jetpack Race, Bungee Race), regardless of whether this function is in the scheme; and also turn on the Boom mode (/boom or !version boom) in some modes (Boom Race, Duo Race, Board Game) before the start of your matches.

You can find maps for playing on wmdb and TUS.
Special maps for schemes are listed separately. Maps for games by agreement.

Playoff participants will be determined by counting the number of victories in matches (not rounds), between players, since each scheme has individual rules, including the number of victories that is most acceptable. In the event of an equal number of victories between the contenders, additional matches are possible using the colorless schemes described above. Additional solutions not specified in the rules are also possible, depending on the situation.

No glitches pls, but you can use the crate search module, non-standart terrains (wkTerrainSync), as well as increase the game speed by 150% (only Comet Dodging, by agreement)

Can't host games? No problem. Just create any host with Hosting Buddy and type
"!tusscheme 1234" (1234 is an example of a scheme number or map number for a cup) to load cup scheme and
"!wmdb 1234" or "!tusmap 1234" to upload map for game. And don't forget to turn on "!version rs" or "!version boom" if needed.

And in most schemes, be sure to include the number of wins (!rounds). This is important for the turn order.


Use the schemes listed above to play in the cup or your results will not be counted


Good luck and Have a Nice Games!

Quote from: TheWalrus on August 31, 2024, 11:16 PMseems like metonator's pc is broken so he will not be playing any more games

Oof... What about my opponents? What excuse do they have?

the only excuses are things like - murder, kidnapping, memory loss, sclerosis, no way to notify us (no internet, the phone doesn't work, no way to communicate with others, etc.)

in other cases, I won't be able to understand the lack of activity of players in the group.

Yes, I have finally decided - after completing the cups I created, I will most likely become inactive too. I want to finally know what it means to "play for fun"
I have ideas here, but the players have no desire to evaluate them. More precisely, there is no one to evaluate them. Therefore, I believe that further work on this matter is pointless. As is the idea of reviving WormOlympics

My expectation is if someone signs up for an event like this they will put the effort in.

The only excuse in my opinion is if they are literally unable to get online and inform us they cannot play, and we should have a deadline like "If Player X hasn't played any games by Day X, they are automatically replaced or others get technical win" or something similar.

People have jobs, family, blah blah blah, that's humanity for you, if you cannot put the effort into even suggesting times to play not only do you look unreliable it shows you barely even have control over your own actions.

Guys, there are less than two weeks left until the end of the group stage.
I noticed some difficulties of players (MeTonaTOR for example), so it is possible that I will add time for some groups.

So, what matches do we have left to play?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GROUP 1

Kaleu vs Big Billy ====> Alt-F4
Kaleu vs Peja ====> Kill to Steal


GROUP 2:

HavryilWololo vs tita ====> Plop War
HavryilWololo vs KungPow ====> Battle Race
HavryilWololo vs Slayer ====> Kamikaze
TheKomodo  vs tita ====> Wormopoly
TheKomodo  vs KungPow ====> Bungee Shopper

GROUP 3:

MeTonaTOR vs Aladdin ====> One of Everything
MeTonaTOR vs TheWalrus ====> Battle Race

GROUP 4:

Ledan vs Wolfgang ====> Teleport Shopper

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't be sure yet who will make it to the playoffs. The list of unplayed matches is current at the time of publication.

I just want to remind the players about the need to play their matches before the time expires.
Closer to the end of the deadline it will become known whether it is worth adding extra time for matches.

Thank you for your attention  :)
