'''Worms Basketball''' is a point-scoring scheme played on a specially-designed map. Players have to fling their worms into a 'basket' using the [[Ninja Rope]], scoring points as they do so. The number of points scored depends on where the rope is attached. The player with the most points after a certain number of turns wins the game.

'''Worms Basketball''' is a scheme with basically infinite [[Ninja Rope]] and Invincibility. It requires a map with at least one basket, and numbered areas where the rope must be attached. To do points, the players must throw their worms from those areas to the basket and hit it. The points can be related to the map rules or related to the number of the area where the rope is attached, so if you launched from the area 3 and hit the basket, you will receive three points. Each player can only make one launch per turn, so if someone miss the basket and the fall didn't cause loss of turn, this player will need to skip the turn. The winner will be the first one who reaches a determined score (excluding the benefit of those who start the game) or who gets the most points during a determined time. It is possible to apply both objectives at the same time: if the score given was not reached and the time given was reached, who did the most points wins.

Players begin by placing their worms anywhere on the court.

They then take it in turns to attach their Ninja Rope to a designated piece of terrain, or anchor platform, which is typically labelled with a number, that number being the points that can be scored. There are usually multiple such anchor platform for players to choose from with different point values. Without re-attaching the rope, the player must fling their worm into the designated basket. If the player successfully dunks their worm, the points are scored. If the player misses, or re-attaches their rope, they must skip their turn (if they didn't already lose the turn to falling).

The map may have a single basket, or multiple baskets, in which case the player can choose any basket.

Players continue until one reaches a pre-agreed total score.

The scheme is not currently supported by HostingBuddy.
