For the newcomers here's a short summary of what this exactly is. The Worm Olympics are basically a large amount of
Worms Armageddon tournaments
hosted in a short period of time.
The tournaments can be hosted at any time, by anybody and with any scheme!
WO 2015 is taking place between
18th July 2015 and 16th August 2015.
Players
You don't need to "register" to play in WO. Just be there when a tournament starts, sign up, and play. :)
Please read the
player's guide
and
FAQ for more information.
After each tournament you play in, please
upload your replays.
Hosters
If you want to host your own tournament as part of WO, please read the
hosting guide and rules,
after that feel free to
register it. :)
New Points System
This year we are using the points system introduced in WO 2013. This is very similar to the old one with one major change:
medal multipliers.
You will still get 1 points for every won game, but the number of points for each medal will depend on the number of players in its tournament:
Medal |
1vs1 |
2vs2 |
3vs3 |
|
Gold |
10 |
6 |
4 |
x multiplier |
Silver |
6 |
4 |

x multiplier |
Bronze |

Players |
Multiplier |
≥ 64 -2 |
2.0 |
|
≥ 24 -2 |
1.0 |
≥ 48 -2 |
1.6 |
|
≥ 16 -2 |
0.7 |
≥ 32 -2 |
1.3 |
|
≥ 8 |
0.4 |
This means that in a tournament with 24 players you will get the same amount of points as before,
but if there are more than 64 players you will get twice as much for the medals.
It also means that the bottom limit for getting points for a medal will be 8 players instead of 14-16.
As this is experimental, the multipliers are subject to change.
WormKit modules
You are
not allowed to use any WormKit module that gives you any kind of gameplay advantage (finding crates, etc),
unless the tournament's description specifically tells you to use one (e.g. Rubber schemes).
WormNET down?
If for some reason WormNET goes down while you are hosting/playing in a tournament, try using an
alternative server.
