Not to be confused with the old Mineball scheme which its origins are uncertain, but it existed in the very old times of WA and later it was ported to WWP, likely as a version of notable success there, using the "Using a weapon doesn't end your turn mode" Wormpot. After some years, it received versions for WA's RubberWorm module.
Peti's Mineball is essencially a Golf gameplay scheme (so it's a variant of the original, being a racing-like scheme), using mines placed by the players instead of 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.
Contents
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). 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.

History
The scheme was created by Peti probably in 2009, since it was present in the first edition of the Worms Scheme Contest in which it received fifth place, scoring 67.8 points. It was later submitted to WMDB on 29th December 2010.
