EDIT: Wow. I’ve been blown away by the responses I’ve already had. We’ve hit the 16 signups I expected in just over 12 hours. I’ve therefore extended the slots to 32. Thanks!

After numerous cups it became apparent that a large number of our community & friends were highly interested in playing Worms: Reloaded. The one thing stopping these cups from being a huge success was the availability of people so that everyone could play on a particular night. Therefore I now present you with a solution to this problem – The TC Worms League.

How will it work?

The TC Worms League will be ran over approximately 8 weeks 5 weeks. You will play one two opponents per week. The league should be considered casual; there will be no punishments for late games and no screenshots need to be taken.

– Signups Open: NOW
– Signups Close: 23rd November
– Tables Released: 24th November
– Week 1: 25th November till 1st December
– Week 2: 2nd December till 8th December
– Week 3: 9th December till 15th December
– Week 4: 16th December till One Night Mayhem (date tbc)

As you can see, Week 4 is to be combined with a One Night Mayhem. The ONM will be a gathering to round off the season and finish any unplayed games. Unplayed games after that night will be scored with 0 points each and the league will be completed. If you are unable to attend this night you should ensure you have finished your games before it. The ONM will be announced closer to the time.

Any problems involving games should be discussed and decided between yourselves if possible; my judgement on a situation should only be used as a last resort. Unsportsmanlike behavior is not welcome or tolerated. For example, if you are clearly losing and then the connection drops, you should grant your opponent with the map win.

Table Format

I anticipate around 16 sign ups 32 signups for the league. We shall therefore split the league in two halves; The Premier League & The Casual League. The Casual League is suggested for those who are new or have little gameplay in Worms games. You will be asked your desired league upon signing up and I shall try my hardest to work things out.

Game Format

• Games must be played on Worms: Reloaded
• Casual League: 2 Standard Maps (third Standard Map if needed)
• Premier League: 1 Forts Map + 1 Standard Map (second Forts Map if needed)
• Standard Maps should be a single horizontal cave
• Map types/style may be changed if both players agree
• Mine and Barrel numeric value should not be modified
• 4 Worms each
• No matching names allowed
• Points: If same person wins both maps then they gain 6 points and loser gains 0 points. If you each win 1 map then you should play a decider; winner takes 4 points and loser takes 2.
• You should be reasonable when scheduling; Non-TC members you should be aware that we are European!

All of the rules & schedule are subject to change based on feedback. I am currently considering have halved the season and made it two opponents a week in fear of people forgetting about the league after 1 or 2 weeks with the old system. Give your opinion on this and other rules in the comments; I am running this league for the community and want you to be happy with it!

Admin Wanted

I am also looking for a single other admin to help me with the running of this league. If you are interested, contact me over steam.

How to sign up

To make things easier for you there are multiple ways to sign up for this tournament. The easiest for members of TC is simply to contact me over steam. For those outside of TC, you may sign up using the forum thread found by clicking this link.

Good luck & have fun! If you have any suggestions for how to improve upon the above don’t hesitate to write in the comments for this post.
