Description:
Objective:
Reach the spot labelled Finish, F, End, E, any other variatons of those words, or a spot that is obviously the end of the map with one worm in the shortest time possible.

Rules:
Players start by placing their worms on the spot labelled Start, S, Begin, or any other variation of those words.
Players are not allowed to rope knock. (You can use RacingStuff (type /rs if you can host or !version rs if you use HostingBuddy))
Players must take the path intended to be taken by the author of the map. This usually means that they must: follow any arrows pointing which direction to go, stay outside the map boundaries as short a distance as possible, and if there are no arrows directing a turn at a crossing path, go straight without changing direction. If there are no apparent rules, players must use their common logic to determine the correct path.

In 1vs1 and 2vs2 each player has 3 worms.

This is turn-based variation of the scheme.

Originally, in Worms Armageddon, there was no option to allow an unlimited turn timer, so rope races had to be turn-based. This meant that players would take short turns (usually 20 or 30 seconds long) to complete the race. Those who died while racing had to start their turns from the beginning, giving their opponent(s) a great advantage. This advantage does not occur in the standard time-trial variation.

In the turn-based variation, a tie between two similarly-skilled players is likely because the number of turns taken to complete the map may be the same. In the case of a tie, the players may decide among each other to restart the map from the beginning with another worm or race back to the start with the worms who reached the finish.

In Worms 2 and Worms World Party, there is no option to allow an unlimited turn timer, so rope racing must be turn-based.
