''Not to be confused with the old [[Mineball]] scheme which its origins are uncertain. See [[Peti's_Mineball#Mineball|its section]] for what is known about this scheme.''

'''Peti's Mineball''' is essencially a [[Golf]] gameplay scheme (so it's a variant of the original, being a racing-like scheme), using [[Mine|mines]] placed by the players instead of [[Grenade|grenades]]. These mines are hit by [[Baseball Bat]]. The scheme has 25 seconds of turn time and the following [[RubberWorm]] features: ''/sdet, /ldet, /antisink and /fdpt''. So, multiple tries in a turn are available.

Goal: to launch the mine from the clearly numbered into the also cleary numbered holes. The winner is the player who manages to clear all holes first.

== Rules ==
Complete all checkpoints.

# '''Place the mine.'''
# '''Hit it with the baseball bat.'''
# '''Make sure the mine ends up in the hole.'''

Multiple tries are allowed, but only one at a time (with one baseball bat hit, in other words); placing and shooting multiple mines are only allowed after at least 3 turns of trying (the mine’s blast radius and damage is minimal).
[[Low Gravity|LG]] may also be used. The rope is for moving between the checkpoints.
It’s allowed to advance to the next one in the same turn as finishing a checkpoint.
It’s pretty hard to commit a cow here, but the penalty is 1 skipped turn.

== Variations ==
''Modifications with relatively small detail changes to the scheme.''

{{Scheme|title=|file=Peti's Mineball (v3.8 update by sbs).wsc|map=|wmdb=}}
[[User:Sbs|sbs]] made his own version of the scheme to be played in [[WA]] v3.8. It was released on [https://www.wmdb.org/45412 this map] on 27th July 2023.

== History ==
The scheme was created by [[People/Peti|Peti]] probably in 2009, since it was present in the first edition of the [[Worms Scheme Contest]] in which it received [https://web.archive.org/web/20110918092917/http://wsc.wmdb.org/results.php fifth place], scoring 67.8 points.  It was later [https://www.wmdb.org/16578 submitted] to [[WMDB]] on 29th December 2010.

===== Mineball =====
There is an old scheme with .BIT maps released by some players called [[Mineball]], that is about dropping mines, then hitting them with the baseball bat into enemies. The origins of Mineball need to be confirmed, because they are uncertain. What's known is that it existed in the very old times of [[WA]] and later it was ported to [[WWP]], likely as a version of notable success there, enabling the "Using a weapon doesn't end your turn mode" [[Wormpot]] that allowed players to drop multiple mines in the same turn and then hit them with baseball bat to make a very powerful explosion with the intersected mines at enemy worms. After some years, it received versions for WA's [[RubberWorm]] module.''

===== Baseball Race =====
[[Golf#Baseball Race|Baseball Race]] was released in 2009 by [[User:xDNCxGhost64x|xDNCxGhost64x]] and also consists on playing Golf with Baseball Bat.
