Rules



Abnormal


A few words about this scheme:
- Abnormal is basically a reversed intermediate, its aim is to kill every worm on your own team using the provided resources. Whoever manages to do it first - wins. (note: draws, although quite uncommon, might happen)
- Start with 8 worms per team.
- Team weapons disabled. Cows with a 2 turn delay added.
- Mortar and cluster bomb power is 2 stars.
- Rounds required to win set to 3.
- Map choice: to minimize the placement factor avoid girders at all cost(!) and pick complex island maps (games played in caverns are very often one-sided, so unless you're sure about it, don't risk it)

You might want to take a look at this thread, as Bytor's scheme originated before abnormal here:

Aerial



Based on the Playstation scheme 'Aerial', though thoroughly edited.

Aerial is a scheme that focuses on aerial combat. You have unlimited jetpacks and 3 seconds on the counter to make an attack. You can attack either from the ground with zooks, nades and guns or use the jetpack to strike from the air.
The retreat is 5 seconds, so you will likely have to launch your zooks and nades from mid-air and hope they will strike your opponent.

Modes:

1v1 (4 worms per player); Best of 1 by default
2v2 (2 worms per player); Best of 1 by default
3v3 (2 worms per player); Best of 1 by default

Map size:

1920x696 by default

Rules:

No exploiting glitches (e.g. skipwalking, vertical bow)

The player who reaches the finish with less turns wins. In 2v2 and 3v3 the team that players reach the finish with less turns combined wins. Remaining turn time is a tie-breaker.

If you plop, then use teleport to place where you started the last turn.


BnG


BnG is played on an open island map. The default width size is 1920 pixels. Players start off by teleporting their worm on the map. Worms are anchored (can't walk) but you can change your hide during the game. The turn time is 15 seconds.

BnG is played without TestStuff. Girder usage is restricted only by the darksiding rule below.

Rules:

Stay on your half of the map

No sitters
*Sitters are grenades that sit for 1/4 second or longer.

No straight bazooka shots to your opponent

No 5 second grenades without Low Gravity and/or Max Bounce
*5 Second Grenades are only permitted in combination with Low Gravity and/or Maximum Bounce.

No 1 second grenades

Reaim before every shot
*Crosshair must adjust over 45 degrees from its original position before the next shot can be made.

The penalty for breaking any of the rules above is a Grenade or Bazooka to and from yourself in an attempt to cause the same damage you previously inflicted.

No darksiding
*Darksiding is hiding your worm in a position where it's impossible for your opponent(s) to hit you with a grenade and at the same time impossible for you to hit your opponent(s) with a grenade. Simply teleport/move to other position.

No dead teleports
*If you have low health and teleport above your opponent to kill him with the grave damage from your own worm, you will lose instantly.

3 Fouls means a lose by default. A game ending by a foul is completely void. The game must be replayed.


BoomRace


Rules:
1 worm on start.
Use weapons for move from Start to Finish point.
Not allowed to plop ur opponent.
Use the special boom race maps.


BungeeRace


Bungee Race scheme

*If a player fall from a bungee point and could walk back to that point, he/she can use teleport to that spot. If there was other bungee obstacles in between, the player have to go through them all over again. (Unless there's an agreement before the game)


CTF


#Capture The Flag#

>This particular scheme is intended for bigger CTF maps, hence the long turn times, you may adjust the time settings if you wish to play on a smaller map.

_Introduction_

Capture the Flag aka CTF is a free league scheme which is usually played in teams
(2vs2 3vs3 etc..). It's rare to see anyone hosting a CTF and most games are long,
which means that this game should be played with friends or in [Free] cups.

_Weapons_&_Others

As said above, CTF is not a very popular scheme, which means that there is no default scheme. Usually, there are no Superweapons and aerial attacks, to make the way to the flag longer (and better) You will have Infinite parachutes and girders, and probably a good amount of Low Gravity, a few Fast Walks, Laser Sights, and maybe others (Almost every CTF hosted follows this config)

_Rules_

We all know that this is a free scheme and only a few people play it, but, as almost every scheme, CTF has its own rules such as:

-Do not place your worms in the enemy territory
-Put your worm NEAR YOUR flag (otherwise you're cheating)
-Do not block your flag with girders(This rule is unusual and it must be decide before the match)
-You must destroy all the enemy flag completely

The first two are essential, the rest  can be discussed (Talk to the host before playing the game, he/she may have some extra rules to add).

_Objective_

The objective is to destroy the enemy flag, sometimes not the entire flag, just half or what you decide with the host before the game.

_Sudden_Death_

Usually there is no water rising or loss of energy this would definitely ruin the game.

Darts


An updated version of the original Darts scheme that takes advantage of extended game options that came with the 3.8 update.

To the victor, the spoils!



Rules & Gameplay:
  • Teleport worms to start platform.
  • Select rope by selecting it from the weapons menu or pressing F8.
  • Attach rope to designated area, select drill while keeping the rope attached by selecting it from the weapons menu or pressing F7.
  • Use the arrow keys to maneuvre the rope and build momentum, then release the worm and fly with drill towards board by pressing enter.
  • Each player is responsible for keeping track of their score, after each successful score please use the "/me" function to show your score so it stands out amongst the normal chat.
  • Sudden death begins in the event of a draw for 1st place; players teleport 1 worm each back to the starting platform then throw them the following turn, the best dart wins, if a draw continues, players keep throwing until someone wins, worm select is standard in the scheme.
:-\ IMPORTANT :-\
  • If any players worms are knocked off the target board, their scores still count.
  • Not all Darts maps are allowed to be used in the TUS Free League. You can find the allowed maps here: https://www.tus-wa.com/maps/mappack-167/
    • Other maps can only be played if all players agree.
  • Some maps have unique rules, these maps have a unique description within their map description, so be sure to double-check the description section of the map beforehand.


What happens when your worm is spiked:
  • When judging, the worms tail does not count, only the part outlined in RED.
  • Players must try to be as honest as possible when judging "spiked" worms.


In the image above, Donna would receive 6 points and Gaz would receive 0 points.




In the image above, Janet would receive 1 point, Worm 6 would receive 7 points, and Worm 7 would receive 3 points.



The Rebound Rule:
  • If your worm rebounds off the target on another area of the map or into the water you add the lesser of the 2 scores.
    • If you rebound off the target between 3 and 5, your score is 3.
    • If you rebound off the target between 1 and 0 (i.e. Water/Miss/0), your score is 0.
  • On any map where you must close the drill before touching the target board, the rebound rule only counts if you close the drill 1st, this can be checked by pressing "S" repetitively within a replay.

Example of a rebound on Darts "Classic":


Example of a rebound on Wings Of Beauty:


Example of a rebound on Cour Darts:

Holy


__________Holy_War_____________________________________________________________

___Introduction___

Holy war is a free-league scheme where your objective is to kill all opponents
with your only avaible weapon: Holy Hand Grenade.

___Rules?___

As we can see, Holy War isn't played this much on WormNET so usually the hosts make their own rules, but following the basics:

*No horizontal girders
*No blocking enemy worms ( some hosts don't even allow you to protect yourself so be careful)

___Host's_Choice___

Holy Wars are always different, some with utility crates, some with Weapon crates; or both.
You can have different retreat times too, some hosts might take the game more seriously and set 1 second or no retreat time at all.


___Information_&_Objective___

Holy war is played on a blank map, (the W:A will generate a map with girders). Your main objective is: Build 'baskets' below the enemy worms and throw Holy Hand Grenades to kill them(The Holy Hand Grenade will only explode if it stops completely, so its way easier to build baskets).



___Final_Words___

Holy war is a great scheme and it should be played more often;  if we
make a more 'official' scheme, perhaps it would be easier to find someone to play with, and do so in a more competitive manner.

SSR


When playing the Super Sheep Race scheme, players are tasked with flying their Super Sheep through a maze-like map to reach a series of checkpoints. The first player to hit the final checkpoint wins the game.

Players begin by placing their one worm at the first checkpoint, which is usually labelled "1" or "Start" on the map. The checkpoints are usually designed to confine the worms and prevent them falling off, while still allowing them launch their Super Sheep out of a small hole. Players then take it in turns to try and hit the next checkpoint, labelled 2, with their Super Sheep. If they succeed, they may then use their Teleport to go to that checkpoint, and can begin targeting the next checkpoint.

A player wins when he is the first to hit the last checkpoint, which may be labelled either with a number or with the word "Finish".

The only skill required for this scheme is the ability to control the Super Sheep. There is no strategy involved.

No shortcuts

The player who reaches the finish with the best time wins. In 2v2 and 3v3 each player of the team needs to finish and the team with the best combined time wins.

No blocking at the start or in any other part of the map.

Knocking the opponent's worms into the water is NOT allowed.


Wascar


Players begin by each placing their single worm (or in some cases, their 3 worms) on the designated starting location. They then use the Ninja Rope to navigate around the course, completing as many laps (passing the starting line) as possible in the given turn time.

The number of laps completed is tracked using messages in the chat. Players will keep track of their own lap completion and that of others. The first player to complete the required number of laps - which is usually agreed upon between the players at the start of the game - wins the game. However, the winner may have had the advantage of an extra turn, due to turn order. In this case, other players who are a turn behind are allowed one more turn, and if they meet the lap requirement, the round ends in a draw.

The map is indestructible and no weapons are provided. Worms have infinite health, but some maps are designed with gaps along the bottom to provide a drowning hazard. If a player loses all their worms to drowning, they will be unable to complete the required number of laps and so automatically forfeit the game.

The scheme is supported by HostingBuddy.
 - Place at the start - Players must place their worms on the spot labelled Start, S, or similar.
 - Stick to the required direction - Wascar maps can be played clockwise or anti-clockwise. Players must agree to the direction to be used and stick to it throughout the game.
