Description:
It's been a while since a tournament with this scheme has been hosted, so I feel the time is ripe!

The rules for this cup are quite simple. It's basically timetrial: place your worms at the start, rope to the finish. You'll have 3 worms each and worm gets one attempt to reach the finish.

Be nice with your placement! Don't get in the way of your opponent and such. Try not to stack the worms if it's possible.
If you lose time because your opponent ignored this or by accident (it happens!), just unstack the worms, aim your rope horizontal, skip turn and you can still have your turn with that worm. If you lose time and leave the start, that's your choice and you won't be allowed to go back to start and try again with that worm.

You have to activate low gravity every turn *before* you start roping. If you forget to activate it, rope back to the start, aim your rope horizontal and skip turn: you'll get another try with that worm.

The worm with the lowest turn time wins! If no worm finishes, the worm that got furthest will win.
The games will be best of 3, both in the group phase and in the knockout phase.

Map choices: no oneturners of the classic RR schemes and no abnormally huge maps (we don't want turns of 300 seconds as the winning time).

If you can't reach your opponent on WN, msn, IRC and whatnot: use the PM function on this site. Everybody is signed up here, so there's no excuse for not using that!

If you sign up, I suggest practicing this a bit offline, since LG RR is not the same as slomo RR. That's about it!
