Anyone can participate by sending in a scheme they created, if the simple condition of the scheme in question not being public is fulfilled. It is generally agreed upon, that "being public" means that the scheme is not hosted in any [[Community#League.2C_tournament_and_contest_sites|leagues or tournaments]] (for example in [[Worm Olympics]]), nor it is played on [[WormNET]] by people other than the creator of the scheme, and a minimal amount of people - this usually meaning friends and clanmates. The submitted replays are reviewed by a carefully selected jury, who will give points for each scheme by either following certain guidelines, or by deciding on them subjectively. The submissions are handled anonymously, to ensure impartial judgement.
