'''{{system128}} vs. {{mrdoognoog}}''' is a video [[tennis match]] that occurred from May 22 to June 28, 2021. It is the second meeting between the two players, with the two facing off in alternate serving order as part of {{mrdoognoog}}'s [[Alternate Persona Tennis#gophrmann|"gophrmann" alternate reality game]]. The match was one of three final matches (set five) of the [[Match Voting Tournament II]], which mrdoognoog was also a host of. The other two games of this set were {{saper}} vs. {{hyk}}/captaingoosehead as well as {{Zekii}} vs. {{False Flesh}}. The two would go on to win, thus winning the entire tournament. This would be the second time a host won their own tournament, after {{GameBop}}'s host and victory of the [[Match Voting Tournament|first match voting tournament.]]

The match took direct inspiration from the [[Tennis Cup 4]] match between [[CorruptionSound vs. dani phantump|{{dew}} and {{corruptionsound}}]] as well as the [[Match Voting Tournament]] match between {{GameBop}} and Ravinrabbid123. The layout of each round follows a very similar format to the former match, where a "regular" sequence plays out for the first half while the second half is a [[pseudo-YTPMV]]. These latter sequences are one of the more well known of the match, sometimes known as the "dancing camel sequences" due to the prominence of the Perl logo (a camel) being added to each one. Starting in round 2, there is also a continuing [[Multirender]] sequence that is added onto by each player.

As encouraged by the tournament layout, both players worked together to plan how the match would pan out, often encouraging ideas and sources (as well as when to use them). Prominent sources include "The Junk Mail" (S9, E5, 1997) of ''Seinfeld'' ("Oh yea, as long as I stop getting MAIL"), ''Téléfrançais!'' (1984), the ''Second City Television (SCTV)'' skit series ''Half-Wits'', the music video for "Fire is Coming" (2019) by Flying Lotus and David Lynch, The Geometry Center's ''Outside in'' (1994) ("Like a basketball!"), and the pilot for ''Peep and the Big Wide World'' (1988). Other notable sources include the "Lake" theme from ''Pokemon Diamond and Pearl'' (DS, 2006), ''Star Fox 64'' (N64, 1997), the "Legacy Island" theme from ''Plok!'' (SNES, 1993), the Editing Mode theme from ''Elebits'' (Wii, 2006), debug mode footage from ''Super Monkey Ball 2'' (GameCube, 2002), [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kMTHwjy6Z8 Insane Jump by a Buick La sabre] (2008) by carjumper2008, ARG web series ''Catastrophe Crow!'', "Ocean Song" (1976) by Jon Anderson, the final boss sequence of ''Kirby Returns to Dreamland'' (Wii, 2011), "Sugar Plum Fairy" from Tchaikovsky's ''The Nutcracker'' (1892), a composite of four ''Super Mario Bros.'' (1985) speedruns, and a recording by {{knorr}} of the service mode of unreleased Atari game ''Arcade Classics'' (1992). Many Newgrounds and ''Geometry Dash''-adjacent songs were used as well, in particular for the longer musical sequences. These include "A Tiny Spaceship's Final Mission" (2013) by Fantomenk, "HyperioxX" (2009) by ParagonX9, the 2017 version of "Nhelv" (2017) by Silentroom, and the original Newgrounds upload of "Lit Fuse" (2015) by Cacola. The latter of these songs had a ''Geometry Dash'' level (also called Lit Fuse) by player KrmaL of which its visuals served as inspiration for those used in its corresponding section of the match.

The match was celebrated shortly after completion, with many [[tennis staff]] like {{infinitysnapz}} and {{Letycjusz S.}} calling it one of their favorite matches at the time. Despite this initial praise later reception has been mixed; it has been acknowledged that the maximalist approach taken by both players was an important stepping stone of the "trapezoidium" era of tennis, where players paid much more attention to outdoing their opponents than having fun.

It is the 43rd completed match (71st started) by {{mrdoognoog}}<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kyI3Zz-E9ckQOHxGjtAU-fLnqzZlBUo04Z6xc5hAYnE/</ref> and the 77th completed (90th started) by {{system128}}<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eF4i0kDYZFjpO26ipXFjOte6bBc_ifXjPh6xy_Y5B0Y/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref>.

Tennis Staff

2026-06-04T19:48:18Z

Admin:

The '''Tennis Staff''' (also known as the '''Café Staff''' or more immaturely the '''Tennis Fucks''') are the ''de-facto'' leaders of the [[tennis]] community.

[[File:Mako staff.png|thumb|right]]

=Roles and Jobs=
==Origins==
The '''Tennis Staff''' as a concept initially stems from a subforum moderator staff created by RabbitSnore on the [[YouChew forums]] on May 7, 2008. Their initial purpose was to moderate the "Poop Tennis" section of these forums, which included:

- moving match threads between the "Wanted", "In-Progress", "Completed" and "Failed" sections

- posting and updating tennis rosters in the "Poop Tennis Roster Thread"

- keeping friendly watch over the regulars in the section's long-running general chat thread, "The Poop Tennis Café", created by RabbitSnore as a way to congregate the burgeoning tennis community and allow it to form stronger connections with each other.

Their modern roles remain largely the same, easily adapting as new communication mediums like Discord became more prominent.

==Culture==
Per RabbitSnore's whimsical "café/restaurant/bar" theming around "The Poop Tennis Café" thread and its staff, it's become something of a lighthearted tradition to imagine the tennis staff as caretakers, baristas, and any-sorta-food-service-worker-related-symbolism-you-can-think-of. They have always been recognized by yellow colored names and forum insignia, consistent through forum sites and the [[The Tennis Isles]] discord group.

Besides just having subforum-specific moderation powers, the members of this staff over time have informally acquired a status and reputation of being "experts" at tennis, due to each member throughout its history having their own unique editing approaches, many having their own theories and perspectives on how different tennis matches play out, and usually having some of the greatest passion for the medium out of all tennis players. In recent years, members of this staff have been becoming seen as "role-models" for the community, effectively representing it through their respective eras past and present. This has also been becoming one of the deciding merits around which new members are selected. Besides this however, new members have almost always been traditionally chosen for their activity, knowledge, bonds with existing staff members, and/or their willingness to contribute.

The staff have also run almost all site sanctioned [[Tennis Tournaments]] since late 2008, following the "Gallers Era" of what are considered to be the first four official tournaments. At various times people not on staff at the time have hosted tournaments, usually leading to their eventual inclusion on the staff as the tournament was able to provide a demonstration of their abilities in managing the community. Anyone is able to start and host an event of their choosing, but it is generally the events that become officially sanctioned by the tennis staff that are considered "canon" within the ongoing history of tennis.

=List of Tennis Staff=
There have been 32 total members to have served as part of the Tennis/Café Staff, 33 if Emperor Ing is counted amongst its ranks.

Fun Fact, in this wiki, tennis staff will have a special label (which hasn't been decided yet) as a tooltip on their name. Look out for this!

==Timeline==


[[File:Tennisstafftimelinetemp.png|960px]]

=History=
The chronology of the Tennis Staff has been organized by relatively arbitrary "generations" since 2019, with {{dew}} conceptualizing the original designations of generation. While {{dani}} originally organized these by a combination of relative group size (shooting for as close to seven members for each) and spans of time apart between additions, The generations were revised on February 27, 2025 by {{infinitysnapz}}, who organized them more by closeness in join dates for each group. This has additionally allowed the resignation of {{RabbitSnore}} and TINS from YouChew leadership to be better considered as a major pivot point between specified generations.

==First Generation(2008)==

[[File:Rabbitsnore-next-color.jpg|thumb|right|RabbitSnore, drawn by black_puffin.]]

Members: {{RabbitSnore}}, {{RAKninja}}, {{Crash2991}}, {{strong414bad}}, {{NS2}}, {{NutheadElMajestico}}, {{TheHappyFungus}} (and Emperor Ing).

One of the earliest prolific players of Youtube Poop Tennis was {{RabbitSnore}}, who was the co-lead admin of the YouChew forums alongside his real life friend Thereisnospoon303 (often called TINS for short) in the era that immediately followed the reign of Conrad Slater. A general chat thread unique to the newly made tennis subforum, called The Poop Tennis Cafe, was opened in the forums (and also on the backup site, Planet Freedom) in January 2008. This thread was made to discuss matches past and present, set up future matches between people, including a roster listing people that they want to play or have already played that might including variations of rules, and to have "refreshments". It would in time garner a notable reputation of mainly being a spammy thread of tennis staff members and its regulars sharing inside jokes to each other, often in the form of various different images. After 4 months of managing the section on his own, and following the forum switch-over from its Vanilla layout, Rabbit employed the first version of a new mod staff unique to the tennis subforums on the evening of May 7th, 2008 to deal with tennis related threads such as moving threads, updating rosters, and hosting tourneys. The staff at this time was made up of 7 members; {{Crash2991}}, {{NS2}}, {{TheHappyFungus}}, {{Nuthead}} and {{strong414bad}} were added first, with RAKninja being added a day later. These choices were made mainly for these seven being the most active posters in the Cafe and thusly having the closest connections with {{RabbitSnore}}. In time, they would become popularly known as the "Tennis Fucks", a term coined by {{RAKninja}} and used frequently by him to describe his fellow staff. RAKninja ended up becoming the most active and vocal of the original seven staff members, and it is with him that "theory" was introduced into tennis, as well as the tradition of staff members being the primary organizers of tennis tournaments from his [[Doubles Cup 1]] tournament onward.

It is also regarded that [[YouChew]] moderator/administrator Emperor Ing was always considered by the original staff as an "unofficial fuck"; while never actually being on the staff itself due to him already being instated with moderator and later administrator powers, Ing was close to the early staff members and had very in-depth involvement with the staff's activities in the early years to the point where he was considered just as essential. It is because of this that he is recognized as having served the staff in the past by having obtained an official service medal on the YouChew forums and also has a round made in a special multi-way match reserved exclusively for staff members only.

==Second Generation(2008-2009)==

Members: {{Gamebop}}, {{Moogle}}, {{MycroProcessor}}, {{DaftPunkYoshi}}

[[File:Stockguy staff.png|thumb|right|One of the earliest staff banners, used until 2013.]]

The staff has since undergone many changes in its lineup of members, beginning as soon as 5 days later when NS2 would be promoted by majority vote of YouChew staff to a moderator position. {{GameBop}} would become the next addition to the Staff on June 23, 2008 upon request for the purpose of managing the 2nd Tennis Chain and being able to edit the original post created by ShadowWario/FancySanta. During this era, the "Collaborations" subforum of YouChew would be created for the first time, and would be added to tennis staff jurisdiction. Moogle would join next on November 18, 2008. {{MycroProcessor}} would join by popular demand on February 27, 2009, essentially acting as the fill-in for Nuthead who left the staff around February 3, 2009, and would become the longest serving member of the staff with 10 years and 7 months in the position. {{theHappyFungus}} would become a moderator on March 1, 2009, though would revert her name back to tennis staff colors briefly during the [[Tennis Season]]. {{DaftPunkYoshi}} would also be added to the Staff on June 25th, 2009, later becoming a moderator of the forum on August 18, 2011. {{NS2}} would resign and return to being a moderator in April and October 2009 respectively, then resign permanently on August 6th, 2010 to return to being a full time Cafe Staff member, although activity wise would be very sparse. theHappyFungus would retire from her moderator position on the same day, and mysteriously vanish from the internet entirely.

==Third Generation(2010-2012)==

Members: MrDrunkenFox, {{ChrisGendo}}, {{TheChutley}}, {{AshcrementVII}}, {{trepmaws}}

Every branch of the community on the YouChew forums soon underwent a major change when, soon after the return of NS2 to the staff and the permanent departure of theHappyFungus, RabbitSnore and TINS retired from their admin and forum leader positions on August 14, 2010. RabbitSnore would then move to the Tennis Staff, as it was a staff that he helped create, with the promise of maintaining activity in that section. This would however never come to pass, and Rabbit's position on the staff marked the effective end of the era of him as an active community member. Some days in advance, RAKninja would publicly announce his retirement from the staff and forum on August 4th, 2010, the same day that MrDrunkenFox would step down from his long-time moderator position and upon personal request be added to the Cafe Staff, following in the footsteps of RabbitSnore. ChrisGendo and {{TheChutley}} would be jointly added to the staff on December 7, 2010, and from this point onward ChrisGendo would effectively take up RAKninja's de-facto leadership role as part of this newly created third generation of staff members, becoming its most active and vocal member for a period of about 2 years.

The following year marked the only period in which members from all generations of staff up to this point were present within the tennis community, whether active or otherwise. With only select older members contributing in terms of actual staff work, and ChrisGendo effectively managing the tennis section and sanctioning its community entirely on her own up to this point, AshcrementVII and {{trepmaws}} became the newest staff additions on January 22, 2012. Crash2991 retired from the staff somewhere between the spring and summer, followed closely by strong414bad. Subsequent to this period, ChrisGendo would publicly announce her retirement from staff and forum on August 22, 2012, and was soon followed by the simultaneous retirements of Moogle and NS2 on or before September 21, 2012.

==Fourth Generation(2014-2018)==

Members: {{CorruptionSound}}, {{theFXexpert}}, Stuart K. Reilly, Metroid998, LaVieCestLol, Biodegradable

[[File:Lupin staff.png|thumb|right|The next staff banner, designed by {{dani}} and used from 2015 up to [[YouChew]]'s closure in 2018. Stars Lupin from ''Lupin the Third''.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-may-11-3-p-m-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications.30/post-49073</ref>]]

AshcrementVII retired from the staff after an almost 2-year period on January 1, 2014, and {{CorruptionSound}} was chosen as his effective replacement on January 10. With YouChew's collab subforum having fallen woefully behind upkeep in this period, {{theFXexpert}} was newly recruited on June 13, 2014 with almost the express purpose of helping out in this section. The following day, a major staff change occurred on YouChew in which the Janitors(moderators assigned to very specific sections, at the time it was strictly the "Poop Talk" section) and Tennis Café Staff were merged into one, thus creating the Café Staff. This change gained the staff equal control over the entire "YouTube Poop" section of the forums(Poop Talk, Media Library, Collaborations, and Poop Tennis), and by complete anomaly would transition then-current Janitor Stuart K. Reilly over to the Café Staff, although he would only maintain this position for 2 months and contribute very little. He would however later on develop a significant acquaintance with the staff and tennis regulars, even going as far as to finally produce a series of episodes of his signature "YouTube Poop News" series covering many aspects of YTP tennis in early 2015. On May 19, 2015, MrDrunkenFox left the Tennis Staff and rejoined as a Moderator after a hiatus of 5 years, the longest gap of time in-between service of any moderator so far. On May 31, 2016, {{TheChutley}} announced her retirement from the staff and was replaced by Metroid998 on June 8. Due to being short-handed by theFXexpert's sudden long absence during this time, LaVieCestLol was also added to the staff on the same day. On April 7, 2018, {{Trepmaws}} would step down from his position and was replaced by Biodegradable on the same day.

==Fifth Generation(2019-2024)==

Members: {{mrdoognoog}}, {{VidTens443}}, {{dew}}, {{Zekii}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{infinitysnapz}}, {{AngryLuigi23}}

With the YouChew forums about to close and the community set to split in two in August 2018, {{MycroProcessor}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, Biodegradable, Metroid998 and theFXexpert all agreed to migrate over to the more Youtube Poop-focused YTPMania forums, opened and run by Smonge, in order to build a new home for the Tennis Section. {{Gamebop}} opted not to immediately retain their staff position, effectively stepping down with the closing of the forum on September 30. LaVieCestLol also effectively departed from the community with the forums closing. The rest of the staff at the time eventually quietly retired after a slow, inactive first year on YTPMania; Biodegradable made a final statement on August 16, 2019, followed by Metroid998 on August 17, MycroProcessor on September 25, and CorruptionSound on October 11. theFXexpert also made his most recent post on the forum on December 6, 2018 and did not return to the community until years later, in late 2024.

This was the era of a complete system reset for the community, when many of a new generation were coming into the tennis section very curious about when the next tennis event would happen. Eventually, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Nubman41}}, Morshe and VidTens443, four members who were around for the twilight years in tennis on YouChew, started the first tournament on the YTPMania themselves, the [[Tennis League 5]]. They also managed to persuade {{dew}}, an active tennis regular on YouChew from 2011 to 2016 and the first tennis player to complete 100 matches, to come out of retirement to participate and extend a guiding hand across the new generation of tennis players. With much of the previous staff now gone, mrdoognoog, VidTens443 and {{dew}} all became promoted to the new wave of Café Staff on YTPMania on October 6 and October 22, 2019 respectively. The YouChew forums returned in a new iteration in 2020, and the staff migrated back to it, with Metroid998, {{VidTens443}} and {{mrdoognoog}} as the active staff members and {{dew}} as one of the two admins and leaders of the new site. {{Zekii}} became the newest member of the staff on April 6, 2020. The new YouChew forums however did not last, suffering a managerial crisis that ultimately led to its shutting down in the middle of April 2020, moving everyone back to YTPMania except for {{dew}}, who was banned from the site for about a year, ultimately ending her initial tenure as an active staff member. Nubman41 and system128 were promoted to tennis staff on February 3, 2022, while {{mrdoognoog}} retired from active staff on October 1 of that year. infinitysnapz was promoted to staff on August 20, 2023, followed by AngryLuigi23 on July 5, 2024 following the departure of both {{Zekii}} and {{Nubman41}} on the same day. On October 6, 2024, TheChutley, {{dew}} and {{Nubman41}} all became the first members of the staff to return to their positions, following a late-summer burst of old regulars returning to the community after long absences.

==Sixth Generation(2025-present)==

Members: {{Letycjusz S.}}, {{CRJ1_}}

[[File:Cafestaffbanner.png|thumb|right|The current staff banner on {{YellowTealPurple}}, designed in 2024 by {{dani}}. Stars Omiko Hakodate from ''Kill La Kill''.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-may-11-3-p-m-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications.30/post-49102</ref>]]

Together, {{dew}} and {{infinitysnapz}} were instrumental in the construction, opening and current leadership of the [[YellowTealPurple|{{YellowTealPurple}}]] forums, a site with which the tennis community served as an initial foundation of its active userbase. This has made them both technically the first since {{RabbitSnore}} to serve in an official capacity as both site admins and official tennis staff members. {{Letycjusz S.}} became the first member of the tennis staff to be added during the era of this site on March 1, 2025, as chosen by {{dew}} and {{TheChutley}}. {{TheChutley}} stepped down again from staff on April 12, followed by nm41 on May 29, the latter whom was then subsequently replaced by {{CRJ1}} on June 10. However, {{TheChutley}} would return to tennis staff for the third time on October 18, which would technically be the first time since {{NS2}} that a former tennis staff would make a second return. {{system128}} transitioned from the tennis staff to YellowTealPurple's creative staff on February 16, 2026, the same day that {{mrdoognoog}} made a long awaited return to the tennis staff as well.

==The Café Today==

The active staff as it stands today is made up of {{VidTens443}}, {{Letycjusz S.}}, {{infinitysnapz}}, {{AngryLuigi23}}, {{dew}}, {{TheChutley}}, {{CRJ1}}, and {{mrdoognoog}}. On the [[YouChew]] archive, {{RabbitSnore}} remains displayed as a staff member in order to recognize the staff's roots of creation and his contributions to the tennis section overall during his active period on the forum.

The Poop Tennis Café as it stands today now exists on [[YellowTealPurple|{{YellowTealPurple}}]], referred to as the Video Tennis Cafe. At present, it maintains a bit under half OF the activity that the Tennis Cafes of old used to reach in their heyday, all in spite of the community being split between the forum, and various discord servers such as The Tennis Isles, which until its closure had acted as a refuge in lieu of [[YTPMania|{{YTPMania}}]] losing the interest of almost everyone.

The Café thread had 4 original iterations on the Youchew Forums: the first opened on January 28, 2008 and was locked on March 31, 2008 after 104 pages due to the switch from the vanilla forums to the phpbb forums, marking the moment when site leadership was turned over to RabbitSnore and TINS. The second was opened on April 2, 2008 and closed on January 8, 2010 after 883 pages, the third opened on January 8, 2010 and closed on October 11, 2012 after 842 pages(with about 4 months of posts in early 2011 lost as a result of Youchew's infamous "Oz incident"), and the fourth and final iteration opened on October 13, 2012 and lasted until the closure of the YouChew Forums on September 29, 2018 after 494 pages. {{RabbitSnore}} upon briefly returning to the Youchew forums in January 2013 expressed his complete disbelief that the then current version of the thread continued to persist. The Café Thread on YTPMania was first opened on August 21, 2018, and lasted for 1,999 posts before being closed with the rest of the site at the end of the year (there are no pages in this version due to the unusual interface of the YTPMania forums). The current café thread on the YellowTealPurple forums opened on November 18, 2024 (with its first post being made as early as November 5 in order to establish its presence with the site's opening), and has seen 150 pages (~4,500 replies as of Feb 23rd 2026) as of present, and it remains the only thread on YellowTealPurple to reach over 100 pages. Skype versions of the Café have also existed, which has at times seemed to subtract from the discussion of the original threads, but the Café thread proper remains with a reputation of being more relaxed, controlled, and easy to follow conversation-wise nature, being considered much more refreshing and comfortable.



=Staff Choice Awards=
==Tennis Fuck Choice Award==
[[File:Tennischoiceaward.png|thumb|right|The badge for the award.]]
"Once a month, each member of the Tennis Café Staff may issue this medal to the players of a match which he or she feels highlights the month." - Badge Description <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180919073301/http://youchew.net/forum/index.php?app=awards&module=awards&controller=awards</ref>

The "Tennis Fuck Choice Award" was an award given by the staff "once a month" for outstanding tennis achievement. While it it known who got the award, few records exist on ''why''. Likely created around mid to late 2009<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-25695</ref>, fifteen players received the award before it went defunct - many of whom were staff themselves. It was also potentially possible to win the award multiple times; this has complicated archival as award descriptions would overwrite in many cases.

A list of all players who received this award can be seen below. Dates are not given as many had to be re-awarded following the Invision transition of the YouChew forums in late-July to early-August 2010, and much of the original data has remained lost. Note that many reasons are speculative.

=Choice Awards=
Plans to revive the choice awards began as late as June 2025<ref>Private Staff Discussion thread on YellowTealPurple, paraphrase by {{mrdoognoog}}</ref>, and were eventually brought into fruition on 5 November 2025, alongside the similar [[Match of the Day]] program on November 2nd. The new Choice Awards were split into four categories, representing four corners of the site - art, music, video art, and of course, tennis.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/forum-changelog.403/post-36506</ref> As of time of writing, nothing has been award for any of the four badges yet.

The [[Grey Tennis Tournament 2]] (or '''GTT2''') is a currently ongoing Video [[tennis]] tournament that commenced on May 15, 2026, co-hosted between {{TheChutley}}, who helmed the original [[Grey Tennis Tournament]], and {{Letycjusz S.}} and {{CRJ1}}. It is the 22nd tournament overall, the second tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] era, the sixth to technically be in a "Tennis Cup" format, and a revival of the original event which took place between late 2009 and early 2010. Distinctive of this event among other modern day tournaments was the decision made to keep it close-to-strictly like the original, down to the original old-school source limitations that were once common in organized tennis events. The voting account for this tournament is "King #DEDEDE", the familiar recurring antagonist of the ''Kirby'' series in a washed out monochromatic color scheme to match the hexadecimal hue within his designated name.

Signups were designed differently for this event to allow for more participants not on the YellowTealPurple forums to be able to sign up without necessarily needing an account on the site, and an initial threshold of 12 of the 32 participants were expressly reserved for either new players, or players who had not participated in the previous tennis tournament from the jump. This is the first tennis tournament to feature the participation of Ninja Weedle, deepfryer, PureQuicksilver, NiccoGabri, spperson_, Ro502, AMAZINGBORYS11, Antonio Blue, AdamCrazyDude, DwakeAwaken, and Doubleitch. cheedle returned after having last participated in the [[Tennis League 4]], and {{trepmaws}} returned after having last participated in the [[Doubles Cup 3]], having previously missed his chance to join the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]].

[[File:Gtt2beta.png|thumb|right|An early idea for the GTT2 logo, where the tennis ball seen in the [[GTT]] logo would become a more pronounced "II".]]

=Layout=

Like the original Grey Tennis Tournament, it was designed very similarly to the first [[Tennis Cup]]. This included the choice made to retain the old-school source limits of early tennis event standards, with each round made within each match not being allowed to use or add more than three sources, as an added challenge for a generation of tennisers who had up to this point become conditioned in the 16 years that followed the original event with limitless source usage in their rounds. With source usage having become a lot more flexible in terms of the types of media that could be used in tennis responses, {{dani_phantump}} drafted up a post in YellowTealPurple's "Video Tennis Rules" thread that specifically stipulated what counted as one source used and what didn't. Also like previous tournaments with source limits, Music and audio-only sources remained free reign, not counting as one source.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/video-tennis-rules.4/latest</ref>

The 5 day turnover time of modern standard was retained, and round time limit returned to the old standard of 20 seconds minimum to 3 minutes maximum. The old standard of Match Forfeit protocol from previous tournaments in a Cup format also returned. Voting returned to a strict point by point basis, with similar harsh penalties for the following:

- 3 Votes for going over the 5-day limit 
- 2 Votes for incorrect source usage (using over 3 sources). 
- 2 Votes for incorrect time length (under 20 seconds, over 3 minutes). 

Signups filled out completely in under 2 hours, leading to some discussion about participant limits becoming a very visible restriction in the present day.

=Set 1=

Due to a miscommunication, the lineup for set 1 was created and released immediately after signups had completed, instead of being released when Set 1 officially began at 12PM PST on May 22nd, 2026. As a result, serving players had an extra week to create their serves, with some players (such as {{Yottiferent}} and TehShadzify) finishing well before the set even started.

Video Tennis, also known interchangeably as Youtube Poop Tennis, YTP Tennis, Remix Tennis or simply Tennis, is a artistic medium derivative of [[Photoshop Tennis]] and [[Youtube Poop]] involving the back-and-forth editing of video projects, often absurdist in nature.

While starting mainly as a derivative of YouTube Poop, and in the early years much more embraced by the full Youtube Poop community, it has increasingly become its own thing as time went on and the community of mainline Youtube Poop and the community of tennis have grown largely seperate. Much of modern tennis is a completely different beast in comparison to [[Youtube Poop]], often veering into much more experimental, atmospheric, avant-guarde and generally much more overstimulating territory.

There are many different types of tennis that have evolved over the years, but the tried and true "vanilla" 6 round 1v1 has held steady just as much.

This wiki is dedicated to everything about the sport - so if you want to know more, you're in the right place!

=History (work in progress)=
==Origins==
<youtube>nRB-O214ezg</youtube>

The idea of remixing another person's video can be supposedly traced back as early as April of 2007, when dvariano uploaded a video called "Elated Chronological Junctures" that was supposedly the first "[[repoop]]" video, and thus considered to be technically the first "Round 2" ever made. However the original video that he edited, made by a user named bahbugandhum, has yet to be found again. Alongside this, Photoshop Tennis already existed, and original YouChew admin conradslater was a fan and an avid participant of it; there exists evidence of him engaging the community with it as early as June of 2007. As someone who took YTP seriously enough to consider it genuine art at that time, the equation to put together the tennis format with video, especially YTP, seemed to be a natural one for him to make.

<youtube>9SZvloYgu-s</youtube>

The first full match, also the first time that tennis was ever applied to the medium of video entirely on the internet, was in the form of [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10]], starting on August 11th, 2007 and ended on August 21st. In it's taking place, this match forth the full idea of someone doing a remix of someone else's video, and having the original maker do the same back, creating a "Tennis" like pattern. From this match onward the concept greatly expanded to great - and at the beginning considerably unimaginable - lengths of development and refinement.

==The Intitial "Freewheeling" Era (2007-2008)==

[[File:Introuble.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 5 of [[Conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]] (2007), the first match ever played.]]

At first, there was hardly any tennis community in a well defined sense to speak of; tennis was at the very beginning considered to be a straightforward extension of the main community for YTP itself, and would be considered an intricately connected part of YTP during the years in which the use of that branding for video remixes was at its strongest and most dedicated. Much of the tennis matches that were played following the first one was thus done so in a way that would be seen by modern standards as very disorganized; it was engaged with in the same relative loose, anarchic and "shitposty" spirit as YTP at large, being considered among the body of "contests" that included early collaborations as designated on conradslater's "Vanilla" YouChew forums. That being said, there were a handful of notable early names that became early fixtures in the world of tennis: BMATF played the second ever tennis match with Markie, and UncleChuckTH played the third ever tennis match with conradslater (the latter's second match), and both UncleChuckTH and BMATF would continue to exist in the world of tennis until the early 2010s. TangerineImpz vs. SeductiveBaz was played entirely start to finish on August 21, 2007, the day that the final round of the first tennis match was uploaded, and this was for a very long time the fastest tennis match ever played; SeductiveBaz would also be an early fixture and continued to tennis in some capacity until a full 12 years later. Second only to conradslater's early activity in tennis was that of {{MrDrunkenFox}}, who played multiple early games including with Tentor, plex14, PapaGonzales and Furnessly. This latter player, along with other such players such as InsinerateHymn, JazzDanceForChildren, TyrannosaurusReich, MelvanaInChains, dvariano, Luioigi, {{strong414bad}}, ADHDYoshi, GameCubeHero, Intenseowl, MVJ5197, 3inchhorse, ELPSteel, SushieBoy, Vorhias, sonicnerd23, and SesakaGenX would also serve to play their own individual roles in defining the nature of tennis at its earliest onsets. Tennis is considered to have reached one of its first peaks in its intersection with "Robotnik YTP" at the time - videos that focused entirely on remixing episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' and its main antagonist - in particular the matches of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first ever match to reach ten rounds, UncleChuckTH vs. BMATF(2007), [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]](2007), and especially [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow](2007). All of these would build a foundation for a strand of tennis that would eventually continue long separate from the main tennis community, which, although small, would localize and organize itself largely on the YouChew forums.

[[File:Unclechuckround10.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 10 of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]] (2007)]]

Aside from all of these other players however, one of the most important to come out of these first months was {{RabbitSnore}}, who played his first tennis match with real-life friend Thereisnospoon303, or TINS, in October 2007. Rabbit immediately came to develop a passionate and vested interest in tennis - the places that it could go and the ways in which it could develop - from the very offset of his entrance into it, and he sought to give the medium the attention and the analysis that it deserved through his initial position on the "Vanilla" YouChew forums as chief editor of the forum's "newsroom" - from October/November 2007 onward, Rabbit began his regular "Tennis Review" series of articles, with [[InsinerateHymn vs. PukingCyberman]] (2007), GameCubeHero vs. Intenseowl(2007) and [[Furnessly vs. MrDrunkenFox]] (2007) the first three matches he covered in this matter. He would contribute a "retrospective review" of conradslater vs. Misselaineous10 shortly thereafter, and it is from this point onward, largely through his insistence, that the importance and the nature of the first ever tennis match began to become recognized in the way it now is today.

His prominence in this activity and the quality of his articles for the time gained him the trust and admiration of Conrad himself, and he was able to use this sway to convince him to allow the tennis section to begin hosting its first [[tennis tournament]]s, with Gallers being the initial organizer of the first few to take place. After Rabbit had accumulated a respectable roster of completed matches including with YamiMario, SushieBoy, Miss10, and PapaGonzales, Rabbit took on Conrad himself in the now legendary match of [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]](2007). At a time when tennis usually came in the language of either "comedic" or of the extreme varieties conceived in the first match, this match was seen as a completely different third approach - of tennis as very much an art and of a thoughtful exchange in and of itself, even if this exchange was liable to get wild in other ways.

[[File:Milkr0undy2zeroframe.png|thumb|right|A frame from [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]] (2007), the only one of which existed for years until the game was found during [[The Great Restoration]].]]

In January 2008, Rabbit had gained enough of an influence over tennis - having played further matches with MrDrunkenFox, pimpsahoy, strong414bad, and UncleChuckTH, that he was able to create some of the earliest foundational texts on how tennis was meant to be played and approached: the Observational and Recreational Guides to tennis. On January 28, Rabbit also created the first of the "Tennis Café" threads, a general chat for the tennis section that allowed for the community to begin to consolidate together and organize themselves properly for the first time. Around this time, newer members began to enter into the community or gain a greater degree of visibility in the section, including {{Crash2991}}, {{strong414bad}}, {{GameBop}}, and {{Nuthead}}. For much of the original Cafe thread's incarnation, only Rabbit and Crash would be doing the majority of the regular posting, and between them talked about tennis matches often, with RabbitSnore vs. conradslater, conradslater vs. Miss10 and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]](2007) receiving repeated reference and discussion as part of an early canon of foundational matches for the community. Somewhere in this period due to his enthusiasm and prolific activity, RabbitSnore even began being regarded by a few as "The King of Tennis" - a title he never was comfortable with.

Conrad's last matches played were with TheDarkRises and Tentor521 in early 2008. He began to make a lot of strange, aggressive and elitist decisions in how he shaped and restructured the forum community, including among other things enforcing his "War on [[AIDS]]"(a crusade against what he termed to be low effort YTPs based on source and editor preference) upon the community in addition to a requirement for forum users to play at least one tennis match in order to be eligible to be "featured" on the site. The decline of his reign on the "Vanilla" forums coincided with the tennis community, in the absence of most everyone else, continuing to grow and consolidate around a growing collection of regular tennis players and posters in the Cafe. {{RAKninja}}, {{theHappyFungus}}, and {{NS2}} became such members at this time, and all engaged in tennis matches both with each other and other exterior players, with Temeku/MTB710, GreatBritishTurd and TheDarkRises all beginning to make regular tennis appearances. The "Vanilla" forums officially shut down at the end of March 2008, as conradslater relinquished control over to {{RabbitSnore}} and TINS, who purchased new forum software and a new server to give the community a fresh, laid-back start - free from the drama and the hardship of the site's original incarnation. Rabbit promptly created a new version of the Tennis Cafe, and it was shortly in the wake of this site's beginning that the official rules of tennis were finally laid down for the first time, stipulating the 6-round standard with which all tennis would orient itself around from this point onward.

===RabbitSnore, as Admin and the "First" "Tennis Fuck"===

The spring of 2008 was a prolific time for tennis with Rabbit and TINS now at the seats of administration. Outside of the developing core community, players such as GreatBritishTurd, Temeku/MTB710, TheDarkRises, ShadowWario/FancySanta, zacheatscrackers and DaftPunkYoshi all began to start leaving their marks within tennis during this time. RabbitSnore however began to considerably slow in activity around this point, with some of his matches played in this era being with the likes of BMATF, theHappyFungus, GameCubeHero, Christoph and Nuthead. He was now an administrator and "second in command" of a forum centered around YouTube Poop, which was now in a perpetual upswing of attention and discovery, and YouChew drew in those most avidly interested in this burgeoning medium of early internet creation like a magnet. The forum was ever so steadily growing in activity and users of all personality types - often younger, energetic and chaotic ones. The resulting overwhelm of the rest of the site would often get to Rabbit, resulting in him often retreating to his second Tennis Cafe thread to get away from it all, as it was by now starting to develop a reputation for having a much more toned down, easygoing and relaxed atmosphere. Multiple regulars of the Café would over time make this thread their only home on the entire site, and the tennis section the only active place that they would visit during their periods of activity. This was also the era where the Cafe began to be known and advertised as "YouChew's watering hole."

With these elements coming into play, Rabbit took the initiative to create a separate staff for this subforum in order to take the weight off of him managing the entire section on his own, and thus - the [[tennis staff]] was first formed in May 2008. It was an ultimately minor, utilitarian staff addition in the grand scheme of the rest of the site, but those who became its first members readily established it as something that signified a strong siblinghood - efforts to create greatness and value where others may have easily dismissed it. A matter of months later, RAKninja, the oldest and last chosen of the first generation of staff, would christen them with the informal moniker of the Tennis Fucks, a name that has stuck into the present on occasion. Many of the matches played in this period on the YouChew forums occurred between the members who would be chosen for this staff, including theHappyFungus vs. RabbitSnore, theHappyFungus vs. RAKninja, theHappyFungus vs. Nuthead, [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]], [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]], Crash2991 vs. strong414bad, RabbitSnore vs. Nuthead, theHappyFungus vs. NS2, and Nuthead vs. NS2. Out of these, the seeds that made up the foundation of much of the initial in-jokes in the community were first created, and would continue to do so with RAKninja supplying the lions share of enduring moments in tennis across the rest of the year. Through RAK, Crash, NS2 and theHappyFungus, a bedrock of culture in tennis was formed around a collective enjoyment of vintage, classic or otherwise certain selections of contemporary anime, as all of it would feature across these players matches, especially ones played with each other. Rabbit would often inquire about anime recommendations in the Cafe, indicating that he too was developing an interest and appreciation of his own. Between him and NS2, there was also the shared enjoyment of the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series, which would define both of their respective outputs in and out of tennis.

While there were originally six members chosen, making for a total of seven when counting Rabbit, the lineup would continue in a state of flux from its inception onward with the promotion and departure of various members, but generally settled around an early core of {{RAKninja}}, {{Crash2991}} and {{strong414bad}} as those the most faithful to the tennis section in this initial phase. As the Spring became the Summer of 2008, the Cafe and community were augmented by a new influx of regulars that included Emperor Ing, Rillion, WowComics, DrGenericMan, ThaNuke, guysafari, vvaluigi, Moogle, and Aesaun, who would make up the bulk of the non-competitive tennis matches played at this time. Rabbit and Crash in particular readily praised the quality of Moogle vs. theHappyFungus(2008), Moogle's first tennis match, as being one that matched the old classics in greatness. Moogle would introduce Touhou into tennis and its community, and create another defining and long-lasting staple within the present culture.

For GameBop, who was operating largely independently and with low activity at this time, they were focused on making sure that the ongoing Second Chain was staying on track, in lieu of ShadowWario/FancySanta starting it, losing interest, and then disappearing. In order to be able to directly edit and manage the participants roster themselves, they were made the first new addition to the tennis staff in June 2008, which slightly elevated their profile as a player. Emperor Ing, who was quickly becoming known as a "hardcore" defender of Windows Movie Maker, instigated the an all-WMM three-way match with fellow software users NS2 and strong414bad - a match he would give the title of "[[Windows Movie Master]]".

In terms of competitive tennis, all members of the staff would join the rest of the community in taking part in what would be subsequently seen as the first true major event for tennis, and the community's inaugural event under the tenure of Rabbit and TINS - The [[Tennis Cup]].

[[File:Somethingreallyexciting.png.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2]] (2008), the final match of the [[Tennis Cup]]. Ishkibibl would go on to win the tournament.]]

While the previous Tennis Leagues had been "competition" in a much looser sense, the Tennis Cup was the first elimination-based tournament in tennis, though it was clearly not approached with any grand stakes or ambition, and Ishkibibl even expressed great disappointment when he eventually was revealed to be the events winner following [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2|the final match between him and NS2.]] Despite this, the event was nonetheless the source of multiple matches in all manner of statuses, from complete to incomplete to their present-day fragmentation, that served to be major influences on many sectors of tennis going forward. While only one half of MTB710 vs. Domorato(2008) remains preserved, for example, the frenetic energy of the MTB710's surviving side plus the surviving titles of the other side - including one "MR. CLEAN NUKES THE UNITED STATES"(2008) - have served to amaze subsequent viewers due the intensity contained within the rounds and the speculation upon what the missing rounds must have contained. [[ophios vs. RAKninja]](2008) ended up pioneering almost an entire subgenre of slower, more ambient and mysterious tennis styles that would be later explored in greater depth by GameBop, Luioigi, and RAKninja himself. GameBop themselves only played in one full match in this tournament, their Set 2 match with GreatBritishTurd - fondly remembered for reaching rare heights in both cleverness and the at-the-time rare complexity of the visual effects - but even their unfinished match with strong414bad would later be a cited influence on one player in particular who was just about to enter the tennis community.

[[File:Mycrobopr4.png|thumb|right|The opening scene of round 4 of [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop]] (2008-2009). Round 3 appears heavily distorted in the viewport of the machine.]]

In June 2008, GameBop would start a match with a player who was as of yet a complete unknown to tennis. They had just existed out of their original account MicroProcessor314, and had just established a more YTP-centric account under the name of {{MycroProcessor}}. [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop|MycroProcessor vs. GameBop (2008-2009)]] was played at a pace that was fairly long for its era, but it served to represent the beginning of multiple new elements in tennis at the same time: the debut of one of the medium's most defining, radical and most influential new voices, as Mycro would quickly establish themselves as verbose, articulate and intelligent when it came to all matters of tennis and video remixes and would soon develop a reputation of writing intricate feedback on every tennis match played in the tennis forums; the beginning of a very different school of thought around tennis that focused for the first time on maximizing the potential of editing and stylistic development and the aesethetic sensibilities that were to come with it; the beginning of a long creative friendship between GameBop and MycroProcessor that firmly established a different and contrasting social constituency away from much of the rest of the tennis community. Mycro's fast-paced, densely-edited, high-stimulation tennis style apparent even in their earliest tennis output would serve to have a galvanizing effect upon tennis and its community, and immediately he found himself swamped with match requests from all manner of eager player looking to either see their work get tackled by him in this cutting edge style or to try and see if they could either outdo or subvert this style in their own ways. RAKninja and Mycro, in many ways complete opposites in each other as people, nonetheless established something of a foil dynamic; while both players came from different constituencies, they shared a passion for intricate tennis discussion, as RAKninja had recently opened the first thread in the tennis subforum dedicated entirely to "Tennis Theory", and the two of them would wage discussion and compare contrasting viewpoints in tennis for years to come. A match between them was always teased, as RAK believed there were ways he could tackle Mycro's style that no one else was thinking of, but a match between them would never end up taking place.

As the Summer became the Autumn and Winter of 2008, more regulars still became augmented to the main community, namely in the form of players such as TheChutley, quax94 and Futures Passed. Moogle was the next to be promoted to the tennis staff, and RabbitSnore returned after a few months absence and began matches with both Crash2991 and NS2, the former of whom had now switched back to using [[Windows Movie Maker]] as their primary editing software, but notably with the most minimal editing style possible within it. RAKninja was now taking up the reigns for the next tournament, here in the form of the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup]], the first successful execution of a (modified) form of [[Doubles]] matches in tennis, in which both individual performance and collaboration provided ample merit. Players such as JackTron7000, trepmaws and SergeantBacon found their formal entrance into the community through this event, and other players still either found or began to develop their voice as players. MycroProcessor's initial strong influence upon tennis began to bear a lot fruit over these course of events; GameBop's style began to undergo significant evolution in technique and execution, beginning a "middle period" in which their classic style would become refined and finalized. Mycro themselves began to insert the first references to the pokemon Jolteon into their videos, TheChutley began to make I.M. Meen a central part of the identity of her videos, and trepmaws played his first matches entirely, immediately establishing for himself a unique and different kind of editing intensity that was rooted more in the speed and ferociousness of metal music. Aesaun and AjaxCubed both took on their own spirited derivatives from Mycro's style, with Aesaun doing so the most openly, and they would eventually win the tournament itself through a combination of this and the execution of never before seen visual effects, courtesy of AjaxCubed's use of [[Final Cut Pro]] providing him plugins that no one else in tennis had at the time, aside from GreatBritishTurd. From the Doubles Cup's final match onward, it seemed like a "meta" had been established for tennis for the first time - the quality of a match was now being increasingly defined by the way players edited the previous rounds in terms of utilizing complexity, intensity or visual inventiveness, with the ability to capture/hold attention and entertain in both being seen as paramount. The finalists of this tournament were made up of all the most cutting edge players in this mold by the Spring of 2009: GameBop, MycroProcessor, AjaxCubed and Aesaun. The former would continue to establish their collective influence across tennis, while the latter two would actually disappear from the community fairly quickly after this.

This did not sit too well with multiple of the older figures in tennis. In the first set of the Doubles Cup, Terrorist and Nuthead, one of the earlier teams of pairs, ended up dropping out only 4 rounds into their match with GameBop and MycroProcessor, with Terrorist in particular lamenting that tennis had become less about "being funny" and now being more about "Effects everywhere, Videos flying around, and just [loud distorted audio] with it", which he considered to take the fun out of tennis. While Moogle positioned themselves to recognize how every tennis style had merit and could manifest fun in different ways, others did not entirely disagree with Terrorist, with one of the most prominent voices being Crash2991:

"Several players have made it become competitive and made several others think that it was supposed to be the uptight thing, rather than just playing around with each other's videos and showing them to each other."

[[File:Gandalflordoftennis.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]] (2008), or "The Lord of the Tennis".]]

Even before this point, a general sentiment had begun to develop, namely between older players such as strong414bad and Rabbit, of weariness around "heavy/intense/destructive" editing, something that began to presage an influx of matches started by or participated in by this constituency that deliberately intended to invoke "classic" tennis stylings. Exchanges within these matches would generally pair down on the use of effects and put a larger focus on the sources used within, allowing their easily exploitable qualities to shine brighter with minimal subversion and have the match more steered by what material was added and the comedic potential across the source mix. [[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008) was the first to be intentionally billed as a "classic style" match, but would be followed by similar matches such as [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]](2008) and NS2 vs. WowComics(2008). RAKninja in particular would play many matches of this type and score hit after hit of memorable moments from nearly all that he played in this era. Futures Passed vs. RAKninja(2008) saw him bring the "ROBOT BUNNIE BOOBIES" meme to life, [[RAKninja vs. RetroTheRaccoon]](2008) saw him immediately follow up with "Love is Here.", and even in his own Doubles Cup, [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]](2008) saw him create "Guys in Nature." These in-jokes would sweep across the YouChew forums and the entire tennis section, cementing the power of his influence upon the inner community. On the outskirts, ChrisGendo vs. NS2(2008) was taking place, in which NS2 would find for themselves a new kindred spirit in the community, and soon to be another significant voice in tennis.

[[File:Guysinnaturerealimage.jpg|thumb|right|The "Guys in Nature" gag from [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]] (2008) during the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup.]]]]

Going into 2009, the new school of more intricate, technically creative complex editing now indirectly faced the old school of simpler, humor based, aesthetically creative classic editing in a schizm that seemed to compete for attention influence in tennis, with both having ironclad constituency and sway by this point. While many names would stick to one lane, those who were more open minded and embracing of all styles would find themselves treated to what some would consider the peak of tennis' "golden age", but it also showed signs that the ways of the early "Freewheeling" era, in which competition was engaged more playfully and without well defined metas, was becoming superseded.

==The first matches==

{{WIP|REASON=The timestamps here are in EST, but they really should be in UTC. This applies for everything here, as others were done in MST - a better way of approaching this should be discussed.)}}

The following is a list of the first played, listing very match from August to the start of November 2007. The timestamps are based on their time started/completed on the [[YouChew]] forums. Titles are based on serving order in most cases. As some matches are logged as completed despite only going to 3 rounds, matches logged in the early "Tennis: Forfeited and Failed" section with at least that many will also be included.

Matches are sorted by date started, with the precise order going by when matches started sometimes by the hour and minute the first round of a match was posted if multiple matches start on the same day. Date format is MM-DD-YYYY.

==Further Developments==
The very first rematch in tennis (players going at it more than once) took place between MelvanaInChains and nimrodpowerz, with their second match going from November 17th to the 24th, 2007 - ending exactly a month after their first match concluded. <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/85033-melvanainchains-vs-nimrodpowerz-again/1.html</ref>

=Typical Game Format + Etiquette=
<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Lf7zolg-U</youtube> 
The rules of Video Tennis are often customized to suit each pooper's needs. However, one of the original, and well known, formats is as follows:

* One player (P1) asks another, or in some cases the community as a whole, whether or not they would like to participate in a game. Here the number of videos to be made (or rounds, typically 4 or 6) is defined, as well as the length of each, and any other additional conditions. If an open challenge is made, a video is sometimes supplied. This is "Round 1", the serve of the tennis match.
* Another player (P2) accepts the challenge, and edits over P1's first video to make "Round 2". In addition to editing the video supplied, P2 can add new sources to mix in with it if they so choose.
* P1 follows through by remixing the new video to make "Round 3", adding sources of their own if they so choose. The game continues in a back and forth fashion like this until the round limit is met.
*It is always absolutely essential that the previous round always be used in some way to make each subsequent round, otherwise it is not considered true tennis.

For additional conditions to a match, they are usually outlined in these such ways:

- specific sources that are to be used for a match, like "video games only" (Furnessly vs. {{MycroProcessor}} (2008-2009)), "Final Fantasy only"({{Moogle}} vs. Mazz0Murder(2009)) or having each round correspond to a sequential letter of the alphabet with added sources and time limit (CorruptionSound's "ABC" Tennis Multi-Way (2011-2014))

- the amount of sources that can be added (in the early years, it was commonly suggested that added sources be capped at a maximum of three per round; in [[Kurkop vs. Metzgorrre]](2010), the condition was that No sources were to be added)

- specific software to be used, such as WMM ([[Dani vs. GameBop (WMM rematch)|dani_phantump vs. GameBop]](2012-2014), [[Vanilla WMM 5-Way|CorruptionSound vs. Massivezephyr14 vs. GameBop vs. BSP66c vs. Metroid998]](2010-2012))

- editing restrictions, such as "no visual distortion/ear rape"({{NS2}} vs. {{ChrisGendo}}(2009))

- a nonstandard match type, such as [[Wildcard]] ([[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008)), [[Multiplied Time]] ([[quax94 vs. MycroProcessor]](2009)) or [[Panic Tennis]] ({{dew}} vs. {{Gamebop}} vs. LeSuperKoffee(2012))

=Exceptions + Special Cases=
Often, 6 rounds in total is the conventional amount of rounds made that make a normal match considered "complete". However, in certain circumstances, especially if the players enjoy working off of each other, the number of rounds can often get extended to 8 or more. [[The 100 Round Tennis|{{TheChutley}} and vvaluigi began a match together]] with the intent of playing 100 rounds in total beginning in 2008, and have gotten as far as Round 75 in the present day, with a five year window of inactivity between 2011 and 2016. TheChutley is also known for often playing matches with various opponents that get extended to 8 rounds, having done so in her matches with {{GameBop}}, [[TheChutley vs. quax94|quax94]], [[TheChutley vs. ChrisGendo|ChrisGendo]], [[AbsoluteBillion vs. TheChutley|AbsoluteBillion]], JakeSteel, Rarenut59 and SesakaGenX, to name some. Her first match with Imaperson additionally extended all the way to 10 rounds, at a time when the only known instance of this otherwise was [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first 1v1 match to go this far.

[[File:LOL.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Kurkop vs. superkoffee]] (2010).]]

In some cases, especially in tennis's early years, matches could be declared "complete" at an odd number, as well as one under the conventional amount of 6. This usually came about as a mutual agreement between the players involved that the match had reached a natural end, if not exactly a conventional one. Matches such as Crash2991 vs. strong414bad(2008) and [[AshcrementVII vs. UncleChuckTH]](2012) were called complete at 5 rounds, and in another, much rarer instance, RabbitSnore vs. {{NS2}} (2008-2009) was given "honorary completion" after only 3 rounds. Other matches like [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]] (2007) and [[Kurkop vs. superkoffee]] (2010) were declared complete at the unusual amount of 9 rounds. These circumstances usually only happen when the last even round of a match is either unable or unwilling to be made by the volleying side, but there is not a desire to consider the match "failed" for sentimental reasons, usually due to the players being close as friends or the quality of the match as it stands being considered too great for failure.

Additionally, matches can sometimes stall at an odd number with an even finishing round never being made and the match being considered neither completed nor failed due to a loss of communication. These include matches such as [[BMATF vs. Markie]](2007, the second ever tennis match), {{NS2}} vs. Markie(2012), {{dani_phantump}} vs. robochao1(2015-2016) and SushieBoy vs. guysafari(2010), all matches that never received a Round 6.

Ultimately though, a match is traditionally considered "failed" when one or both players have lost the desire to continue a match and the agreed number of rounds is not reached, and every player in tennis comes to play at least one, and often at least a few failed matches throughout their tennis career. There is however no definitive time limit to how long a tennis match must take. {{Metroid998}} vs. {{AshcrementVII}} notably took an entire 5 years to complete, lasting from 2011's Round 1 to 2016's Round 6. {{dani_phantump}} vs. {{verity larsen}} additionally took 4 years to complete, lasting from 2012 to 2016. Whether or not a match fails depends entirely on the players involved and their willingness to continue the match.

Etiquette is generally recommended when it comes to starting matches with people - like the game itself, communication is key. In the early days of tennis a direct challenge to a specific player would sometimes be cast without any prior planning to ultimately spotty success, and it was generally considered not the most popular way to start matches with people. Throughout Tennis's history, it has seen some players such as HerpyWhooves and {{autumnithink}} who were notorious for their habit of uploading serves to whoever they wanted as an opponent with no prior (or subsequent) communication whatsoever. While most of these serves were not volleyed, they on occasion were and did in fact blossom into full matches, such as {{autumnithink}} vs. {{CorruptionSound}} (2011) and HerpyWhooves vs. {{Gamebop}} (2011). It is still overall highly discouraged that one start matches with anyone this way however.

==Doubles Tennis==
Doubles Tennis is the practice of teams of two going at it. See [[Team Tennis#Doubles Tennis|here]] for more.

==Triples Tennis==
Tennis with three! See [[Team Tennis#Triples Tennis|here]] for more information.

==Multi-Ways==

Larger matches with more than two people, but still in a repeating pattern. See [[Multi-Way Match|here]] for more information.

==Poop Chains==
A '''Poop Chain''' is a longer match where a different person makes each round. These are usually large, community-wide collaborative events. See [[Chains|here]] for more.

=Tennis Café and Café Staff (Tennis Staff)=

The '''Tennis Café''' is the great congregation place of the world of tennis. Historically started on [[YouChew]] and migrating to every forum site since, it is where tennis players can "Come in, Have a Drink, Chat about Tennis, Promote and Arrange Matches" <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/1.html</ref>. Great efforts have been made recently to keep the Cafe active as much tennis activity becomes increasingly done on services like Discord.

The Café (along with tennis as a whole) is overseen by the [[Tennis Staff]], the moderators that oversee the tennis section of the medium's given forum home, and a group of individuals who strive for the success of the community and keep it stimulated and active through the hosting of events, the organization of interesting tennis matches and unique setups, and (under a more modern understanding) helping to set an example of a great person... and a great player. If you ever need help with something in tennis and can't get answers elsewhere, they are the best people to ask.

=Achievements=
As stated above, the first tennis match took place in '''2007''', between [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10.]]

The longest accepted tennis round is '''"Vore. Unbirth. Dinner." by {{MycroProcessor}}''', at a whopping '''six hours'''. The round is the final (sixth) round of [[Nineroe vs. MycroProcessor]], taking place during the first set of the [[Match Voting Tournament]]. While there are rounds longer, these are usually not counted due to lack of content or effort.

<youtube>Fol6UL1EUtM</youtube>

The longest true self-match is the "idc r1k" by dillon, a match that is at over a thousand rounds long. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtz_UBFzs0Jg6EeYXbnq2hkEMFGVVAPh6

The longest 1v1 match is {{system128}} vs. The British YTPer.

The longest tennis match is '''[[Missadaxio]]''', at nearly '''14000 rounds and counting'''. It isn't likely to be passed any time soon, as the match plan to go on forever.

Not a single player has won more than one individual [[tennis tournament]]. However, if counting collaborative matches, {{GameBop}} has the most wins with three: [[GTT]], [[TTT]], and [[MVT]]. For other tournament-related achievements, see [[Tennis Tournaments#Achievements|here.]].

The first time two [[tennis staff]] played each other was [[strong414bad vs. Nuthead]] in December, 2007. The first time this happened in a tournament environment was in [[TL2]] Gameweek 2, between [[strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore|{{strong414bad}} and RabbitSnore]].

The most viewed tennis round is "(YTP Tennis Round One) 20th Century Fox and Universal have a party" by Paperking, a serve for their match against TrickyMario7654. As of June 14th, 2025, it sits at 2,072,180 views!

YTP Tennis, also known as Youtube Poop Tennis, Video Tennis, Remix Tennis or simply Tennis, is a artistic medium derivative of [[Photoshop Tennis]] and [[Youtube Poop]] involving the back-and-forth editing of video projects, often absurdist in nature.

While starting mainly as a derivative of YouTube Poop, and in the early years much more embraced by the full Youtube Poop community, it has increasingly become its own thing as time went on and the community of mainline Youtube Poop and the community of tennis have grown largely seperate. Much of modern tennis is a completely different beast in comparison to [[Youtube Poop]], often veering into much more experimental, atmospheric, avant-guarde and generally much more overstimulating territory.

There are many different types of tennis that have evolved over the years, but the tried and true "vanilla" 6 round 1v1 has held steady just as much.

=History (work in progress)=
==Origins==
<youtube>nRB-O214ezg</youtube>

The idea of remixing another person's video can be supposedly traced back as early as April of 2007, when dvariano uploaded a video called "Elated Chronological Junctures" that was supposedly the first "[[repoop]]" video, and thus considered to be technically the first "Round 2" ever made. However the original video that he edited, made by a user named bahbugandhum, has yet to be found again. Alongside this, Photoshop Tennis already existed, and original YouChew admin conradslater was a fan and an avid participant of it; there exists evidence of him engaging the community with it as early as June of 2007. As someone who took YTP seriously enough to consider it genuine art at that time, the equation to put together the tennis format with video, especially YTP, seemed to be a natural one for him to make.

<youtube>9SZvloYgu-s</youtube>

The first full match, also the first time that tennis was ever applied to the medium of video entirely on the internet, was in the form of [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10]], starting on August 11th, 2007 and ended on August 21st. In it's taking place, this match forth the full idea of someone doing a remix of someone else's video, and having the original maker do the same back, creating a "Tennis" like pattern. From this match onward the concept greatly expanded to great - and at the beginning considerably unimaginable - lengths of development and refinement.

At first, there was hardly any tennis community in a well defined sense to speak of; tennis was at the very beginning considered to be a straightforward extension of the main community for YTP itself, and would be considered an intricately connected part of YTP during the years in which the use of that branding for video remixes was at its strongest and most dedicated. Much of the tennis matches that were played following the first one was thus done so in a way that would be seen by modern standards as very disorganized; it was engaged with in the same relative loose, anarchic and "shitposty" spirit as YTP at large, being considered among the body of "contests" that included early collaborations as designated on conradslater's "Vanilla" YouChew forums. That being said, there were a handful of notable early names that became early fixtures in the world of tennis: BMATF played the second ever tennis match with Markie, and UncleChuckTH played the third ever tennis match with conradslater (the latter's second match), and both UncleChuckTH and BMATF would continue to exist in the world of tennis until the early 2010s. TangerineImpz vs. SeductiveBaz was played entirely start to finish on August 21, 2007, the day that the final round of the first tennis match was uploaded, and this was for a very long time the fastest tennis match ever played; SeductiveBaz would also be an early fixture and continued to tennis in some capacity until a full 12 years later. Second only to conradslater's early activity in tennis was that of {{MrDrunkenFox}}, who played multiple early games including with Tentor, plex14, PapaGonzales and Furnessly. This latter player, along with other such players such as InsinerateHymn, JazzDanceForChildren, TyrannosaurusReich, MelvanaInChains, dvariano, Luioigi, {{strong414bad}}, ADHDYoshi, GameCubeHero, Intenseowl, MVJ5197, 3inchhorse, ELPSteel, SushieBoy, Vorhias, sonicnerd23, and SesakaGenX would also serve to play their own individual roles in defining the nature of tennis at its earliest onsets. Tennis is considered to have reached one of its first peaks in its intersection with "Robotnik YTP" at the time - videos that focused entirely on remixing episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' and its main antagonist - in particular the matches of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first ever match to reach ten rounds, UncleChuckTH vs. BMATF(2007), [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]](2007), and especially [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow](2007). All of these would build a foundation for a strand of tennis that would eventually continue long separate from the main tennis community, which, although small, would localize and organize itself largely on the YouChew forums.

[[File:Unclechuckround10.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 10 of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]] (2007)]]

Aside from all of these other players however, one of the most important to come out of these first months was {{RabbitSnore}}, who played his first tennis match with real-life friend Thereisnospoon303, or TINS, in October 2007. Rabbit immediately came to develop a passionate and vested interest in tennis - the places that it could go and the ways in which it could develop - from the very offset of his entrance into it, and he sought to give the medium the attention and the analysis that it deserved through his initial position on the "Vanilla" YouChew forums as chief editor of the forum's "newsroom" - from October/November 2007 onward, Rabbit began his regular "Tennis Review" series of articles, with [[InsinerateHymn vs. PukingCyberman]] (2007), GameCubeHero vs. Intenseowl(2007) and [[Furnessly vs. MrDrunkenFox]] (2007) the first three matches he covered in this matter. He would contribute a "retrospective review" of conradslater vs. Misselaineous10 shortly thereafter, and it is from this point onward, largely through his insistence, that the importance and the nature of the first ever tennis match began to become recognized in the way it now is today.

His prominence in this activity and the quality of his articles for the time gained him the trust and admiration of Conrad himself, and he was able to use this sway to convince him to allow the tennis section to begin hosting its first [[tennis tournament]]s, with Gallers being the initial organizer of the first few to take place. After Rabbit had accumulated a respectable roster of completed matches including with YamiMario, SushieBoy, Miss10, and PapaGonzales, Rabbit took on Conrad himself in the now legendary match of [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]](2007). At a time when tennis usually came in the language of either "comedic" or of the extreme varieties conceived in the first match, this match was seen as a completely different third approach - of tennis as very much an art and of a thoughtful exchange in and of itself, even if this exchange was liable to get wild in other ways.

[[File:Milkr0undy2zeroframe.png|thumb|right|A frame from [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]] (2007), the only one of which existed for years until the game was found during [[The Great Restoration]].]]

In January 2008, Rabbit had gained enough of an influence over tennis - having played further matches with MrDrunkenFox, pimpsahoy, strong414bad, and UncleChuckTH, that he was able to create some of the earliest foundational texts on how tennis was meant to be played and approached: the Observational and Recreational Guides to tennis. On January 28, Rabbit also created the first of the "Tennis Café" threads, a general chat for the tennis section that allowed for the community to begin to consolidate together and organize themselves properly for the first time. Around this time, newer members began to enter into the community or gain a greater degree of visibility in the section, including {{Crash2991}}, {{strong414bad}}, {{GameBop}}, and {{Nuthead}}. For much of the original Cafe thread's incarnation, only Rabbit and Crash would be doing the majority of the regular posting, and between them talked about tennis matches often, with RabbitSnore vs. conradslater, conradslater vs. Miss10 and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]](2007) receiving repeated reference and discussion as part of an early canon of foundational matches for the community. Somewhere in this period due to his enthusiasm and prolific activity, RabbitSnore even began being regarded by a few as "The King of Tennis" - a title he never was comfortable with.

Conrad's last matches played were with TheDarkRises and Tentor521 in early 2008. He began to make a lot of strange, aggressive and elitist decisions in how he shaped and restructured the forum community, including among other things enforcing his "War on [[AIDS]]"(a crusade against what he termed to be low effort YTPs based on source and editor preference) upon the community in addition to a requirement for forum users to play at least one tennis match in order to be eligible to be "featured" on the site. The decline of his reign on the "Vanilla" forums coincided with the tennis community, in the absence of most everyone else, continuing to grow and consolidate around a growing collection of regular tennis players and posters in the Cafe. {{RAKninja}}, {{theHappyFungus}}, and {{NS2}} became such members at this time, and all engaged in tennis matches both with each other and other exterior players, with Temeku/MTB710, GreatBritishTurd and TheDarkRises all beginning to make regular tennis appearances. The "Vanilla" forums officially shut down at the end of March 2008, as conradslater relinquished control over to {{RabbitSnore}} and TINS, who purchased new forum software and a new server to give the community a fresh, laid-back start - free from the drama and the hardship of the site's original incarnation. Rabbit promptly created a new version of the Tennis Cafe, and it was shortly in the wake of this site's beginning that the official rules of tennis were finally laid down for the first time, stipulating the 6-round standard with which all tennis would orient itself around from this point onward.

===RabbitSnore, as Admin and the "First" "Tennis Fuck"===

The spring of 2008 was a prolific time for tennis with Rabbit and TINS now at the seats of administration. Outside of the developing core community, players such as GreatBritishTurd, Temeku/MTB710, TheDarkRises, ShadowWario/FancySanta, zacheatscrackers and DaftPunkYoshi all began to start leaving their marks within tennis during this time. RabbitSnore however began to considerably slow in activity around this point, with some of his matches played in this era being with the likes of BMATF, theHappyFungus, GameCubeHero, Christoph and Nuthead. He was now an administrator and "second in command" of a forum centered around YouTube Poop, which was now in a perpetual upswing of attention and discovery, and YouChew drew in those most avidly interested in this burgeoning medium of early internet creation like a magnet. The forum was ever so steadily growing in activity and users of all personality types - often younger, energetic and chaotic ones. The resulting overwhelm of the rest of the site would often get to Rabbit, resulting in him often retreating to his second Tennis Cafe thread to get away from it all, as it was by now starting to develop a reputation for having a much more toned down, easygoing and relaxed atmosphere. Multiple regulars of the Café would over time make this thread their only home on the entire site, and the tennis section the only active place that they would visit during their periods of activity. This was also the era where the Cafe began to be known and advertised as "YouChew's watering hole."

With these elements coming into play, Rabbit took the initiative to create a separate staff for this subforum in order to take the weight off of him managing the entire section on his own, and thus - the [[tennis staff]] was first formed in May 2008. It was an ultimately minor, utilitarian staff addition in the grand scheme of the rest of the site, but those who became its first members readily established it as something that signified a strong siblinghood - efforts to create greatness and value where others may have easily dismissed it. A matter of months later, RAKninja, the oldest and last chosen of the first generation of staff, would christen them with the informal moniker of the Tennis Fucks, a name that has stuck into the present on occasion. Many of the matches played in this period on the YouChew forums occurred between the members who would be chosen for this staff, including theHappyFungus vs. RabbitSnore, theHappyFungus vs. RAKninja, theHappyFungus vs. Nuthead, [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]], [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]], Crash2991 vs. strong414bad, RabbitSnore vs. Nuthead, theHappyFungus vs. NS2, and Nuthead vs. NS2. Out of these, the seeds that made up the foundation of much of the initial in-jokes in the community were first created, and would continue to do so with RAKninja supplying the lions share of enduring moments in tennis across the rest of the year. Through RAK, Crash, NS2 and theHappyFungus, a bedrock of culture in tennis was formed around a collective enjoyment of vintage, classic or otherwise certain selections of contemporary anime, as all of it would feature across these players matches, especially ones played with each other. Rabbit would often inquire about anime recommendations in the Cafe, indicating that he too was developing an interest and appreciation of his own. Between him and NS2, there was also the shared enjoyment of the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series, which would define both of their respective outputs in and out of tennis.

While there were originally six members chosen, making for a total of seven when counting Rabbit, the lineup would continue in a state of flux from its inception onward with the promotion and departure of various members, but generally settled around an early core of {{RAKninja}}, {{Crash2991}} and {{strong414bad}} as those the most faithful to the tennis section in this initial phase. As the Spring became the Summer of 2008, the Cafe and community were augmented by a new influx of regulars that included Emperor Ing, Rillion, WowComics, DrGenericMan, ThaNuke, guysafari, vvaluigi, Moogle, and Aesaun, who would make up the bulk of the non-competitive tennis matches played at this time. Rabbit and Crash in particular readily praised the quality of Moogle vs. theHappyFungus(2008), Moogle's first tennis match, as being one that matched the old classics in greatness. Moogle would introduce Touhou into tennis and its community, and create another defining and long-lasting staple within the present culture.

For GameBop, who was operating largely independently and with low activity at this time, they were focused on making sure that the ongoing Second Chain was staying on track, in lieu of ShadowWario/FancySanta starting it, losing interest, and then disappearing. In order to be able to directly edit and manage the participants roster themselves, they were made the first new addition to the tennis staff in June 2008, which slightly elevated their profile as a player. Emperor Ing, who was quickly becoming known as a "hardcore" defender of Windows Movie Maker, instigated the an all-WMM three-way match with fellow software users NS2 and strong414bad - a match he would give the title of "[[Windows Movie Master]]".

In terms of competitive tennis, all members of the staff would join the rest of the community in taking part in what would be subsequently seen as the first true major event for tennis, and the community's inaugural event under the tenure of Rabbit and TINS - The [[Tennis Cup]].

[[File:Somethingreallyexciting.png.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2]] (2008), the final match of the [[Tennis Cup]]. Ishkibibl would go on to win the tournament.]]

While the previous Tennis Leagues had been "competition" in a much looser sense, the Tennis Cup was the first elimination-based tournament in tennis, though it was clearly not approached with any grand stakes or ambition, and Ishkibibl even expressed great disappointment when he eventually was revealed to be the events winner following [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2|the final match between him and NS2.]] Despite this, the event was nonetheless the source of multiple matches in all manner of statuses, from complete to incomplete to their present-day fragmentation, that served to be major influences on many sectors of tennis going forward. While only one half of MTB710 vs. Domorato(2008) remains preserved, for example, the frenetic energy of the MTB710's surviving side plus the surviving titles of the other side - including one "MR. CLEAN NUKES THE UNITED STATES"(2008) - have served to amaze subsequent viewers due the intensity contained within the rounds and the speculation upon what the missing rounds must have contained. [[ophios vs. RAKninja]](2008) ended up pioneering almost an entire subgenre of slower, more ambient and mysterious tennis styles that would be later explored in greater depth by GameBop, Luioigi, and RAKninja himself. GameBop themselves only played in one full match in this tournament, their Set 2 match with GreatBritishTurd - fondly remembered for reaching rare heights in both cleverness and the at-the-time rare complexity of the visual effects - but even their unfinished match with strong414bad would later be a cited influence on one player in particular who was just about to enter the tennis community.

[[File:Mycrobopr4.png|thumb|right|The opening scene of round 4 of [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop]] (2008-2009). Round 3 appears heavily distorted in the viewport of the machine.]]

In June 2008, GameBop would start a match with a player who was as of yet a complete unknown to tennis. They had just existed out of their original account MicroProcessor314, and had just established a more YTP-centric account under the name of {{MycroProcessor}}. [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop|MycroProcessor vs. GameBop (2008-2009)]] was played at a pace that was fairly long for its era, but it served to represent the beginning of multiple new elements in tennis at the same time: the debut of one of the medium's most defining, radical and most influential new voices, as Mycro would quickly establish themselves as verbose, articulate and intelligent when it came to all matters of tennis and video remixes and would soon develop a reputation of writing intricate feedback on every tennis match played in the tennis forums; the beginning of a very different school of thought around tennis that focused for the first time on maximizing the potential of editing and stylistic development and the aesethetic sensibilities that were to come with it; the beginning of a long creative friendship between GameBop and MycroProcessor that firmly established a different and contrasting social constituency away from much of the rest of the tennis community. Mycro's fast-paced, densely-edited, high-stimulation tennis style apparent even in their earliest tennis output would serve to have a galvanizing effect upon tennis and its community, and immediately he found himself swamped with match requests from all manner of eager player looking to either see their work get tackled by him in this cutting edge style or to try and see if they could either outdo or subvert this style in their own ways. RAKninja and Mycro, in many ways complete opposites in each other as people, nonetheless established something of a foil dynamic; while both players came from different constituencies, they shared a passion for intricate tennis discussion, as RAKninja had recently opened the first thread in the tennis subforum dedicated entirely to "Tennis Theory", and the two of them would wage discussion and compare contrasting viewpoints in tennis for years to come. A match between them was always teased, as RAK believed there were ways he could tackle Mycro's style that no one else was thinking of, but a match between them would never end up taking place.

As the Summer became the Autumn and Winter of 2008, more regulars still became augmented to the main community, namely in the form of players such as TheChutley, quax94 and Futures Passed. Moogle was the next to be promoted to the tennis staff, and RabbitSnore returned after a few months absence and began matches with both Crash2991 and NS2, the former of whom had now switched back to using [[Windows Movie Maker]] as their primary editing software, but notably with the most minimal editing style possible within it. RAKninja was now taking up the reigns for the next tournament, here in the form of the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup]], the first successful execution of a (modified) form of [[Doubles]] matches in tennis, in which both individual performance and collaboration provided ample merit. Players such as JackTron7000, trepmaws and SergeantBacon found their formal entrance into the community through this event, and other players still either found or began to develop their voice as players. MycroProcessor's initial strong influence upon tennis began to bear a lot fruit over these course of events; GameBop's style began to undergo significant evolution in technique and execution, beginning a "middle period" in which their classic style would become refined and finalized. Mycro themselves began to insert the first references to the pokemon Jolteon into their videos, TheChutley began to make I.M. Meen a central part of the identity of her videos, and trepmaws played his first matches entirely, immediately establishing for himself a unique and different kind of editing intensity that was rooted more in the speed and ferociousness of metal music. Aesaun and AjaxCubed both took on their own spirited derivatives from Mycro's style, with Aesaun doing so the most openly, and they would eventually win the tournament itself through a combination of this and the execution of never before seen visual effects, courtesy of AjaxCubed's use of [[Final Cut Pro]] providing him plugins that no one else in tennis had at the time, aside from GreatBritishTurd. From the Doubles Cup's final match onward, it seemed like a "meta" had been established for tennis for the first time - the quality of a match was now being increasingly defined by the way players edited the previous rounds in terms of utilizing complexity, intensity or visual inventiveness, with the ability to capture/hold attention and entertain in both being seen as paramount. The finalists of this tournament were made up of all the most cutting edge players in this mold by the Spring of 2009: GameBop, MycroProcessor, AjaxCubed and Aesaun. The former would continue to establish their collective influence across tennis, while the latter two would actually disappear from the community fairly quickly after this.

This did not sit too well with multiple of the older figures in tennis. In the first set of the Doubles Cup, Terrorist and Nuthead, one of the earlier teams of pairs, ended up dropping out only 4 rounds into their match with GameBop and MycroProcessor, with Terrorist in particular lamenting that tennis had become less about "being funny" and now being more about "Effects everywhere, Videos flying around, and just [loud distorted audio] with it", which he considered to take the fun out of tennis. While Moogle positioned themselves to recognize how every tennis style had merit and could manifest fun in different ways, others did not entirely disagree with Terrorist, with one of the most prominent voices being Crash2991:

"Several players have made it become competitive and made several others think that it was supposed to be the uptight thing, rather than just playing around with each other's videos and showing them to each other."

[[File:Gandalflordoftennis.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]] (2008), or "The Lord of the Tennis".]]

Even before this point, a general sentiment had begun to develop, namely between older players such as strong414bad and Rabbit, of weariness around "heavy/intense/destructive" editing, something that began to presage an influx of matches started by or participated in by this constituency that deliberately intended to invoke "classic" tennis stylings. Exchanges within these matches would generally pair down on the use of effects and put a larger focus on the sources used within, allowing their easily exploitable qualities to shine brighter with minimal subversion and have the match more steered by what material was added and the comedic potential across the source mix. [[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008) was the first to be intentionally billed as a "classic style" match, but would be followed by similar matches such as [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]](2008) and NS2 vs. WowComics(2008). RAKninja in particular would play many matches of this type and score hit after hit of memorable moments from nearly all that he played in this era. Futures Passed vs. RAKninja(2008) saw him bring the "ROBOT BUNNIE BOOBIES" meme to life, [[RAKninja vs. RetroTheRaccoon]](2008) saw him immediately follow up with "Love is Here.", and even in his own Doubles Cup, [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]](2008) saw him create "Guys in Nature." These in-jokes would sweep across the YouChew forums and the entire tennis section, cementing the power of his influence upon the inner community. On the outskirts, ChrisGendo vs. NS2(2008) was taking place, in which NS2 would find for themselves a new kindred spirit in the community, and soon to be another significant voice in tennis.

[[File:Guysinnaturerealimage.jpg|thumb|right|The "Guys in Nature" gag from [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]] (2008) during the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup.]]]]

Going into 2009, the new school of more intricate, technically creative complex editing now indirectly faced the old school of simpler, humor based, aesthetically creative classic editing in a schizm that seemed to compete for attention influence in tennis, with both having ironclad constituency and sway by this point. While many names would stick to one lane, those who were more open minded and embracing of all styles would find themselves treated to what some would consider the peak of tennis' "golden age", but it also showed signs that the ways of the early "Freewheeling" era, in which competition was engaged more playfully and without well defined metas, was becoming superseded.

==The first matches==

{{WIP|REASON=The timestamps here are in EST, but they really should be in UTC. This applies for everything here, as others were done in MST - a better way of approaching this should be discussed.)}}

The following is a list of the first played, listing very match from August to the start of November 2007. The timestamps are based on their time started/completed on the [[YouChew]] forums. Titles are based on serving order in most cases. As some matches are logged as completed despite only going to 3 rounds, matches logged in the early "Tennis: Forfeited and Failed" section with at least that many will also be included.

Matches are sorted by date started, with the precise order going by when matches started sometimes by the hour and minute the first round of a match was posted if multiple matches start on the same day. Date format is MM-DD-YYYY.

==Further Developments==
The very first rematch in tennis (players going at it more than once) took place between MelvanaInChains and nimrodpowerz, with their second match going from November 17th to the 24th, 2007 - ending exactly a month after their first match concluded. <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/85033-melvanainchains-vs-nimrodpowerz-again/1.html</ref>

=Typical Game Format + Etiquette=
<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Lf7zolg-U</youtube> 
The rules of YTP Tennis are often customized to suit each pooper's needs. However, one of the original, and well known, formats is as follows:

* One player (P1) asks another, or in some cases the community as a whole, whether or not they would like to participate in a game. Here the number of videos to be made (or rounds, typically 4 or 6) is defined, as well as the length of each, and any other additional conditions. If an open challenge is made, a video is sometimes supplied. This is "Round 1", the serve of the tennis match.
* Another player (P2) accepts the challenge, and edits over P1's first video to make "Round 2". In addition to editing the video supplied, P2 can add new sources to mix in with it if they so choose.
* P1 follows through by remixing the new video to make "Round 3", adding sources of their own if they so choose. The game continues in a back and forth fashion like this until the round limit is met.
*It is always absolutely essential that the previous round always be used in some way to make each subsequent round, otherwise it is not considered true tennis.

For additional conditions to a match, they are usually outlined in these such ways:

- specific sources that are to be used for a match, like "video games only" (Furnessly vs. {{MycroProcessor}} (2008-2009)), "Final Fantasy only"({{Moogle}} vs. Mazz0Murder(2009)) or having each round correspond to a sequential letter of the alphabet with added sources and time limit (CorruptionSound's "ABC" Tennis Multi-Way (2011-2014))

- the amount of sources that can be added (in the early years, it was commonly suggested that added sources be capped at a maximum of three per round; in [[Kurkop vs. Metzgorrre]](2010), the condition was that No sources were to be added)

- specific software to be used, such as WMM ([[Dani vs. GameBop (WMM rematch)|dani_phantump vs. GameBop]](2012-2014), [[Vanilla WMM 5-Way|CorruptionSound vs. Massivezephyr14 vs. GameBop vs. BSP66c vs. Metroid998]](2010-2012))

- editing restrictions, such as "no visual distortion/ear rape"({{NS2}} vs. {{ChrisGendo}}(2009))

- a nonstandard match type, such as [[Wildcard]] ([[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008)), [[Multiplied Time]] ([[quax94 vs. MycroProcessor]](2009)) or [[Panic Tennis]] ({{dew}} vs. {{Gamebop}} vs. LeSuperKoffee(2012))

=Exceptions + Special Cases=
Often, 6 rounds in total is the conventional amount of rounds made that make a normal match considered "complete". However, in certain circumstances, especially if the players enjoy working off of each other, the number of rounds can often get extended to 8 or more. [[The 100 Round Tennis|{{TheChutley}} and vvaluigi began a match together]] with the intent of playing 100 rounds in total beginning in 2008, and have gotten as far as Round 75 in the present day, with a five year window of inactivity between 2011 and 2016. TheChutley is also known for often playing matches with various opponents that get extended to 8 rounds, having done so in her matches with {{GameBop}}, [[TheChutley vs. quax94|quax94]], [[TheChutley vs. ChrisGendo|ChrisGendo]], [[AbsoluteBillion vs. TheChutley|AbsoluteBillion]], JakeSteel, Rarenut59 and SesakaGenX, to name some. Her first match with Imaperson additionally extended all the way to 10 rounds, at a time when the only known instance of this otherwise was [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first 1v1 match to go this far.

[[File:LOL.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Kurkop vs. superkoffee]] (2010).]]

In some cases, especially in tennis's early years, matches could be declared "complete" at an odd number, as well as one under the conventional amount of 6. This usually came about as a mutual agreement between the players involved that the match had reached a natural end, if not exactly a conventional one. Matches such as Crash2991 vs. strong414bad(2008) and [[AshcrementVII vs. UncleChuckTH]](2012) were called complete at 5 rounds, and in another, much rarer instance, RabbitSnore vs. {{NS2}} (2008-2009) was given "honorary completion" after only 3 rounds. Other matches like [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]] (2007) and [[Kurkop vs. superkoffee]] (2010) were declared complete at the unusual amount of 9 rounds. These circumstances usually only happen when the last even round of a match is either unable or unwilling to be made by the volleying side, but there is not a desire to consider the match "failed" for sentimental reasons, usually due to the players being close as friends or the quality of the match as it stands being considered too great for failure.

Additionally, matches can sometimes stall at an odd number with an even finishing round never being made and the match being considered neither completed nor failed due to a loss of communication. These include matches such as [[BMATF vs. Markie]](2007, the second ever tennis match), {{NS2}} vs. Markie(2012), {{dani_phantump}} vs. robochao1(2015-2016) and SushieBoy vs. guysafari(2010), all matches that never received a Round 6.

Ultimately though, a match is traditionally considered "failed" when one or both players have lost the desire to continue a match and the agreed number of rounds is not reached, and every player in tennis comes to play at least one, and often at least a few failed matches throughout their tennis career. There is however no definitive time limit to how long a tennis match must take. {{Metroid998}} vs. {{AshcrementVII}} notably took an entire 5 years to complete, lasting from 2011's Round 1 to 2016's Round 6. {{dani_phantump}} vs. {{verity larsen}} additionally took 4 years to complete, lasting from 2012 to 2016. Whether or not a match fails depends entirely on the players involved and their willingness to continue the match.

Etiquette is generally recommended when it comes to starting matches with people - like the game itself, communication is key. In the early days of tennis a direct challenge to a specific player would sometimes be cast without any prior planning to ultimately spotty success, and it was generally considered not the most popular way to start matches with people. Throughout Tennis's history, it has seen some players such as HerpyWhooves and {{autumnithink}} who were notorious for their habit of uploading serves to whoever they wanted as an opponent with no prior (or subsequent) communication whatsoever. While most of these serves were not volleyed, they on occasion were and did in fact blossom into full matches, such as {{autumnithink}} vs. {{CorruptionSound}} (2011) and HerpyWhooves vs. {{Gamebop}} (2011). It is still overall highly discouraged that one start matches with anyone this way however.

==Doubles Tennis==
Doubles Tennis is the practice of teams of two going at it. See [[Team Tennis#Doubles Tennis|here]] for more.

==Triples Tennis==
Tennis with three! See [[Team Tennis#Triples Tennis|here]] for more information.

==Multi-Ways==

Larger matches with more than two people, but still in a repeating pattern. See [[Multi-Way Match|here]] for more information.

==Poop Chains==
A '''Poop Chain''' is a longer match where a different person makes each round. These are usually large, community-wide collaborative events. See [[Chains|here]] for more.

=Tennis Café and Café Staff (Tennis Staff)=

The '''Tennis Café''' is the great congregation place of the world of tennis. Historically started on [[YouChew]] and migrating to every forum site since, it is where tennis players can "Come in, Have a Drink, Chat about Tennis, Promote and Arrange Matches" <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/1.html</ref>. Great efforts have been made recently to keep the Cafe active as much tennis activity becomes increasingly done on services like Discord.

The Café (along with tennis as a whole) is overseen by the [[Tennis Staff]], the moderators that oversee the tennis section of the medium's given forum home, and a group of individuals who strive for the success of the community and keep it stimulated and active through the hosting of events, the organization of interesting tennis matches and unique setups, and (under a more modern understanding) helping to set an example of a great person... and a great player. If you ever need help with something in tennis and can't get answers elsewhere, they are the best people to ask.

=Achievements=
As stated above, the first tennis match took place in '''2007''', between [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10.]]

The longest accepted tennis round is '''"Vore. Unbirth. Dinner." by {{MycroProcessor}}''', at a whopping '''six hours'''. The round is the final (sixth) round of [[Nineroe vs. MycroProcessor]], taking place during the first set of the [[Match Voting Tournament]]. While there are rounds longer, these are usually not counted due to lack of content or effort.

<youtube>Fol6UL1EUtM</youtube>

The longest true self-match is the "idc r1k" by dillon, a match that is at over a thousand rounds long. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtz_UBFzs0Jg6EeYXbnq2hkEMFGVVAPh6

The longest 1v1 match is {{system128}} vs. The British YTPer.

The longest tennis match is '''[[Missadaxio]]''', at nearly '''14000 rounds and counting'''. It isn't likely to be passed any time soon, as the match plan to go on forever.

Not a single player has won more than one individual [[tennis tournament]]. However, if counting collaborative matches, {{GameBop}} has the most wins with three: [[GTT]], [[TTT]], and [[MVT]]. For other tournament-related achievements, see [[Tennis Tournaments#Achievements|here.]].

The first time two [[tennis staff]] played each other was [[strong414bad vs. Nuthead]] in December, 2007. The first time this happened in a tournament environment was in [[TL2]] Gameweek 2, between [[strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore|{{strong414bad}} and RabbitSnore]].

The most viewed tennis round is "(YTP Tennis Round One) 20th Century Fox and Universal have a party" by Paperking, a serve for their match against TrickyMario7654. As of June 14th, 2025, it sits at 2,072,180 views!

The '''Doubles Cup 4''' or '''DC4''' was a [[Tennis Tournament]] held in 2022 on the [[YTPMania]] forums. It was the fourth (and most recent) competition under the [[Doubles Tennis]] variant, and the nineteenth tennis competition overall. After the unique layout of the [[Doubles Cup 3]], the [[Doubles Cup 4]] marked a return to the classic tournament style matches of the [[Doubles Cup 1]] and the [[Doubles Cup 2]]. The winners of this tournament were the duo of {{system128}} and {{Zekii}}, making {{system128}} the third player to win two tournaments, and the second to win them consecutively.

Due to this event occurring during the nadir of [[YTPMania]]'s lifespan, with an attempt being made by the current new generation of the community to focus operations on the short-lived [[Pinchbacks]] forum as well as [[The Tennis Isles]], documentation of the Doubles Cup 4 is among the most fragmented and peacemeal of all tennis tournaments that have taken place; YTPMania's records of the tournament only partially account for certain matches played or do not account for matches at all, with the rest of the data localized to the other two sites, with Pinchbacks never being archived in any detail. Despite this, the tournament remains fully archived along with every tournament played since the [[Triples Tennis Tournament]]. This was the second of three tournaments to use the voting account "tournamentacc", described by mrdoognoog as "almost entirely utilitarian" due to Smonge, YTPMania's owner, having a strictness about alt accounts and the "lapse of YouChew knowledge" regarding the community's past history with being more playful with these accounts.<ref>https://ytptennis.com/w/images/d/d2/About_tournamentacc.png Screenshot from Discord</ref>

This was the first tennis competition to feature RaymanChrome, {{Letycjusz S.}}, {{Infinitysnapz}}, {{ApproxamiteOstrich}}, and YooY, and the only competition to feature chammeleon and {{EdotJdot}}. {{Metroid998}} was the only player to return from the [[Doubles Cup 3]], while {{dew}} returned from having previously been in the [[Doubles Cup 2]] a decade previous.

=Info=
This iteration of doubles cup followed a format closer to [[DC1]] and [[DC2]] - there would be four 'solo' rounds for each player in a set, then two collab rounds at the end.

Like DC2, it also has seven matches total. All rounds are accounted for and archived.

[[ApolloBoy vs. SeductiveBaz]] was a [[Youtube Poop tennis]] match that took place between November 29, 2007 and May 3, 2008. The longest 1v1 tennis match ever played in its initial era and the first [[Endurance Tennis]] match, ApolloBoy and SeductiveBaz managed to play all the way to 29 rounds, with 50percentgrey - a major fan of the match - contributing an unofficial Round 30 on August 6, 2011. This would be a record not broken until {{TheChutley}} and vvaluigi surpassed this in [[The 100 Round Tennis]] on December 9, 2008. Of the immense tour de force of sources added include ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''(Season 6 Episode 10 - "Chain of Command, Part I"(1992), Season 6 Episode 11 - "Chain of Command, Part II"(1992), Season 7 Episode 18 - "Eye of the Beholder"(1994), Season 4 Episode 16, "Galaxy's Child"(1991), Season 3 Episode 23 - "Sarek"(1990), Season 5 Episode 12 - "Violations"(1992), Season 1 Episode 12 - "The Big Goodbye"(1987), Season 3 Episode 18 - "Allegiance"(1990), Season 4 Episode 17 - "Night Terrors"(1991), Season 2 Episode 6 - "The Schizoid Man"(1989), Season 4 Episode 3 - "Brothers"(1990) and Season 3 Episode 14 - "A Matter of Perspective(1990)), ''The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog'', ''The O'Reilly Factor'', ''Blacula''(1972), ''Scream Blacula Scream''(1973), a 1990's Right Guard commercial featuring Hulk Hogan, ''The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy'', a Telecom*USA commercial featuring Hulk Hogan and ALF, ''Hotel Mario''(CD-i, 1994), the commercial for Hulk Hogan's Ultimate Grill, an image of the "fruit/Nazi Tails" avatar of MrDrunkenFox, ''The Miracle Maker''(1999), ''Aladdin''(1992), videos by ConservativeVoiceUSA, ''Batman''(1989), ''Vic Reeves Big Night Out'', ''The Shining''(1980), the music video for "Sussudio"(1985) by Phil Collins, ''Mission Hill'', ''Two Stupid Dogs'', ''Dexter's Laboratory'', footage of James Brown performing live in the 1970s, ''Batman: The Animated Series'', ''Cow and Chicken'', Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage's 1989 appearance on ''The Brother Love Show'', ''Pulp Fiction''(1994), a 1987 ''Piper's Pit'' segment featuring Hulk Hogan, ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''(CD-i, 1993), ''Animal Soccer World''(PS2, 1998/2005), ''The Critic'', the onscreen formation of "The Mega Powers" alliance of Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage in 1987, the famous 1978 Orson Welles commercial for Paul Masson Wine, the music video for "Dancing Queen"(1976) by ABBA, a commercial for Cadbury's Pint Size, a 1997 commercial for ''Crash Bandicoot: Cortex Strikes Back''(PS1, 1997), a 1988 interview with Hulk Hogan following his WWF title loss to Andre The Giant, a 1980s commercial for the pre-Snickers candy bar Marathon, a 1980s Coca-Cola commercial, ''The Thin Blue Line'', Lasagna Cat, ''Blackadder II'', the music video for "Tryouts For The Human Race"(1979) by Sparks, ''Pumpkinhead''(1988), footage of Bono, the music video for "Dirty Creature"(1982) by Split Enz, ''The Maxx'' animated series, the music video for "Cuba Libre"(1986) by Modern Rocketry, ''Wow!

The round titles of the match tell a humorous and juvenile story about several different characters, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Dr. Robotnik, Bill O'Reilly, Hulk Hogan, Phil Collins, Dexter, Orson Welles, and Space Ghost all engaging in continuous sexual acts with each other, in particular experiencing repeated "Hogasms"; 18 in total. Several previous rounds in the match that are not the immediate previous make recurring appearances throughout the match, especially in the later responses.

In November 2011, 50percentgrey wrote a humorous dissertation the match:

"A key noteworthy feature to recall about this series is it's play on the word "Hogasm". While it was meant as an expression for when Hulk Hogan acts mad and empowered at the last moment from taking too much damage in the ring, resulting in him "winning the match", the word "hogasm" is given a new, awkward definition in an attempt to squeeze a giggle out of viewers (gay and straight alike). It could mean a "man orgy" or a "fake orgy", both of which can be considered infidelic social crimes and make one feel unwilling to admit. But for the sake of the original definition, it's safe to assume that a Hogasm is an orgy only Hulk Hogan is capable of.

Unfortunately, aside from the obvious unblanced volume of the audio and seizure inducing visual effects, what makes this series less enjoyable is AppolloBoy's attempt to make political commentary something to laugh about (via pasting and sentence-mixing), in contrast to SeductiveBaz's oblivious jocking of the videos themselves. Baz reveals his foundamental understanding of Youtube Poop Tennis in this series, in which sentences or words are kept more minimal, down to the point of looping a single syllable or an action that implies pulvic thrusts. It may not make sense to most people, but if one were to look at the videos with a post-modern understanding of male homosexuality, he'll find fridge brillance.

In conclusion, this YTP tennis match is one that will confound, as well as tantilize the post-modern minds of those living in the high-speed internet age, straight and gay alike. You don't have to be a follower of Bill O'Reilly to enjoy this, either."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/32-tennis-archives/608-tennis-archive-apolloboy-vs-seductivebaz/1.html#post-3897193</ref>

SeductiveBaz deleted his YouTube account at the end of 2019, but was fully archived ahead of time by Nineroe, allowing his rounds to survive and be uploaded by {{dani_phantump}} to the archive account "SeductiveBaz MEMORIAL" in November 2024. ApolloBoy's rounds continue to survive as of February 2026.

The '''3-Way Tennis Tournament 2''' was a [[Tennis Tournament|YouTube Poop/Video Tennis tournament]] that took place between December 1, 2024 and November 20, 2025. It was the 21st tournament overall, the first tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums era and the first tournament since the [[Tennis League 4]] to be mainly hosted by {{dew}}, making this also the first tournament hosted by an admin of the site it's hosted on since the [[Tennis Season]] in 2009. With the original [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] having taken place between 2010 and early 2011, it is the first time this tournament variant has been played in almost 15 years. The tournament was a return to having unique, individual host accounts used for announcements and voting, and for this competition was "Jonathan Frakes", with {{dew}} theming the tournament and the unveiling of match lineups and votes around an absurd parody of a typical episode of ''Beyond Belief''. Unlike the previous iteration, this became the first event of this variant to successfully complete all the way to the end. The eventual winner of this tournament was {{Yottifferent}}, making him the first player to win the tournament as a replacement since {{LaVie CestLol}}'s win in the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]]. This win effectively ended the streak of active [[Tennis Staff]] winning officially sanctioned tournaments, dating back from [[Match Voting Tournament 2]] to [[Tennis Cup 5]].

This is the first tournament to feature the participation of soundphaseytp, portaldash, {{foldername}}, hitori, mahify, ElijahStar and Media904. It is also a return tournament for multiple of its participants, leading some to term this event as creating a latter-day tennis renaissance; {{dew}} returned after having last played in the [[Doubles Cup 4]] in 2022, {{TheChutley}}, {{ThirtyTwelve}}, {{fiv95}} and TehShadzify returned after having last played in the [[Doubles Cup 3]] in 2017-2018, and {{CheeChee}} returned after having last played in the [[Match Voting Tournament 2]] in 2021. {{Sid}} and {{CRJ1_}} both made guest appearances in Set 2(with the latter becoming a permanent replacement in Set 3), having not appeared in a tennis tournament since the Doubles Cup 3 and the Match Voting Tournament 2 respectively, and NESfanboi made a guest appearance in Set 3, having not appeared since the [[Doubles Cup 2]] in 2011-2012. {{GameBop}} also initially secretly joined under the name DisguisedSqueak43, revealing their true identity 10 days before Set 1 lineups were announced, also making their comeback after 2 years of no video activity period and their first tournament appearance since the Match Voting Tournament 2 as well. {{veritylarsen}} initially signed up, having last played in the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]] in 2014, but then subsequently dropped out for personal reasons without having made any rounds. {{TheChutley}}, {{GameBop}} and NESfanboi were the only players returning from the original [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]]; Additional veteran {{trepmaws}} also started a "[https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-unofficial-3wtt2-lobby-shuffle-signups-open-shuffle-1-matches-posted.692/ Three-Way Lobby Shuffle]" parallel event to make up for all the player slots being filled but there being double the amount of players interested in participating. This marks {{trepmaws}}' own return to tennis after a roughly 7 year gap of any video activity in addition. All current members of the [[tennis staff]] except for {{AngryLuigi23}} were able to secure spots in the tournament.

=History=
==Announcement and reveal==
The event was announced at around Midnight, on the 29th of November 2024, with an announcement video, in the same vain as that of those created for the [[Match Voting Tournament 2]], and [[Doubles Cup 4]]. Two days later, on December 1st, the tournament was revealed to be the ''3-Way Tennis Tournament 2''.

<youtube>Uz1u65mpQfc</youtube>

==Launch==
The commencement of the tournament coincided with a surprising turn of events in the community, in which several veteran members suddenly made a comeback starting in August of that year, both before and after the launch of the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums, largely spearheaded by its two lead admins {{dew}} and {{infinitysnapz}}. It is sometimes seen, in more ways than one, as the potential beginning of a bright new era for tennis, parallel to how the original instance of this tournament ended up marking a transition of eras in and of itself.

=Layout=

Much of the structure of the original tournament was retained for this competition, with the major differences being the turnover times being updated from 3 days to 5, and the maximum round length being eliminated as was such in the first [[Match Voting Tournament]], with a 20 second minimum limit. Conversely, {{trepmaws}}' "Three-Way Lobby Shuffle" established the inverse of this, with rounds deliberately having a 20 second Maximum limit in order to allow for quick, painless participation for all involved(and also happening to fit within a length that many of {{trepmaws}}' own previous videos have matched). This was subsequently doubled to 40 seconds.

There was discussion initially about possible ways to increase the player count from 27, but upon experimental calculations amongst the current tennis staff any possible number was deemed to be too unwieldy, especially for a competition on a new forum with a new burgeoning community. Consequently, signups filled very fast, and it eventually turned out that roughly twice the number of people were interested in participating in the tournament, which was less than what would have been required for a proper extension of signups but still far more than who could actually participate. {{trepmaws}}' parallel event thusly had no maximum limit of participants either, allowing everyone who had signed up as replacements to have something to do while they waited for a chance to participate in the official tournament. The Lobby Shuffle side event sadly never completed its first set due to {{trepmaws}} unexpectedly disappearing for many weeks.

While never officially defined and outlined in the original, the replacements system for this competition was modeled roughly after the replacement events of the previous iteration, highlighting a replacements ability to only need to play for a single round if need be, and to be potentially chosen by the player needing the replacement. Replacements would be selected by the staff from the top of the list down if no preference was given in the event of needing one.

The [[Grey Tennis Tournament 2]] (or '''GTT2''') is a currently ongoing Video [[tennis]] tournament that commenced on May 15, 2026, co-hosted between {{TheChutley}}, who helmed the original [[Grey Tennis Tournament]], and {{Letycjusz S.}} and {{CRJ1}}. It is the 22nd tournament overall, the second tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] era, the sixth to technically be in a "Tennis Cup" format, and a revival of the original event which took place between late 2009 and early 2010. Distinctive of this event among other modern day tournaments was the decision made to keep it close-to-strictly like the original, down to the original old-school source limitations that were once common in organized tennis events. The voting account for this tournament is "King #DEDEDE", the familiar recurring antagonist of the ''Kirby'' series in a washed out monochromatic color scheme to match the hexadecimal hue within his designated name.

Signups were designed differently for this event to allow for more participants not on the YellowTealPurple forums to be able to sign up without necessarily needing an account on the site, and an initial threshold of 12 of the 32 participants were expressly reserved for either new players, or players who had not participated in the previous tennis tournament from the jump. This is the first tennis tournament to feature the participation of Ninja Weedle, deepfryer, PureQuicksilver, NiccoGabri, spperson_, Ro502, AMAZINGBORYS11, Antonio Blue, AdamCrazyDude, DwakeAwaken, and Doubleitch. cheedle returned after having last participated in the [[Tennis League 4]], and {{trepmaws}} returned after having last participated in the [[Doubles Cup 3]], having previously missed his chance to join the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]].

=Layout=

Like the original Grey Tennis Tournament, it was designed very similarly to the first [[Tennis Cup]]. This included the choice made to retain the old-school source limits of early tennis event standards, with each round made within each match not being allowed to use or add more than three sources, as an added challenge for a generation of tennisers who had up to this point become conditioned in the 16 years that followed the original event with limitless source usage in their rounds. With source usage having become a lot more flexible in terms of the types of media that could be used in tennis responses, {{dani_phantump}} drafted up a post in YellowTealPurple's "Video Tennis Rules" thread that specifically stipulated what counted as one source used and what didn't. Also like previous tournaments with source limits, Music and audio-only sources remained free reign, not counting as one source.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/video-tennis-rules.4/latest</ref>

The 5 day turnover time of modern standard was retained, and round time limit returned to the old standard of 20 seconds minimum to 3 minutes maximum. The old standard of Match Forfeit protocol from previous tournaments in a Cup format also returned. Voting returned to a strict point by point basis, with similar harsh penalties for the following:

- 3 Votes for going over the 5-day limit 
- 2 Votes for incorrect source usage (using over 3 sources). 
- 2 Votes for incorrect time length (under 20 seconds, over 3 minutes). 

Signups filled out completely in under 2 hours, leading to some discussion about participant limits becoming a very visible restriction in the present day.

=Set 1=

Due to a miscommunication, the lineup for set 1 was created and released immediately after signups had completed, instead of being released when Set 1 officially began at 12PM PST on May 22nd, 2026. As a result, serving players had an extra week to create their serves, with some players (such as {{Yottiferent}} and TehShadzify) finishing well before the set even started.

'''videotenniswiki''' (formerly '''ytptenniswiki''', also known as VTW or the Tennis Wiki) is a wiki that's sole focus is all aspects pertaining and related to [[YTP Tennis|Video Tennis]]. The goal is to document anything anyone would want to know when it comes to this community, being useful for players and enthusiasts alike.

There are several distinct stylistic changes between this wiki, [[Chewiki]] and other similar projects:
* ''There are no pages for individual players ("pooper pages", as they were called on Chewiki)''. Pages about players can quickly become personal and biased, and goes beyond the scope of the wiki.
* Less of a focus on [[YTP]] - only the things that apply to both YTP ''and'' tennis.
* Only trusted members of the community can contribute. It is preferred that all material is written "from scratch", as older sources such as Chewiki may be outdated or incorrect. While citations are encouraged, ''the plan is to rephrase old write-ups'' being careful to maintain factual information.

=Contact=
{{mrdoognoog}} is the webmaster of [[ytptennis.com|this website]], as well as the wiki and everything else on the site. Discord is the best way to get into contact at the current moment.

=Credits=
- {{mrdoognoog}} - Website Administrator

- {{pajamafrix}} - Logo Artist

- All the [[tennis staff]] (most notably {{dew}}, {{infinitysnapz}}, {{TheChutley}} and {{VidTens443}}) - major article contributions, general guidance

- All other editors, such as {{Yottiferent}} and {{fiv95}} for their help and support

=Guidelines for Editors=
To prevent vandalism and maintain a quality standard, only the [[Tennis Staff]] by default are allowed to edit the site. Other trusted members of the community can also apply to edit the wiki directly. If you are interested in contributing, go to the discord help server.

Please keep these in mind when working on new pages / updating old ones.
* Do NOT import templates/modules from elsewhere without given permission. These can break the site and can cause a whole multitude of problems if not done right! Player aliases are fine, however - feel free to add those.
* As mentioned above, ''no player/"pooper" pages'', including for yourself. (The User:USER pages are OK.)
* Feel free to take requests from other users.
* ''Maintain Objectivity''. Avoid saying things are "good" or "bad", if you do, use the third person. For example: "This match is often considered the best of its time..."
* As it is a historical artifact, referencing Chewiki and similar sites is pretty much a necessity. But please do '''not''' quote it verbatim. Chewiki had very little quality control, so be sure to cross-reference with other sources if possible.
* When uploading images/assets, please ''change the filename to something relevant to the image'', rather than leaving it as "8970Efas9df7asd.PNG". Captions are useful, but not when trying to ''find'' said file!
* '''Add references'' whenever possible so claims can be backed up, etc. Source pages are generated automatically, so be sure to add a "=Sources=" header to the ''very'' bottom of the page (should be the last thing in the document) in order to separate the generated references from the rest of the page's content.

Looking for something to do? Check [[:Special:ShortPages]] and [[:Special:WantedPages]]. These have the shortest pages or things that are missing, respectively. We also have a spreadsheet that shows planned notable match pages, as well as the ability to add new suggestions.

==Creating a Match Page==
If you have a match page you want to make, start by getting approval from the others to make sure it would be acceptable. From there, copy in the Match Template and start filling in information. Make sure to get the following:
* The name of the match
* Its type (vanilla, [[chain]], [[MTT]], etc.)
* Who played in it
* The start and end times (if possible)
* 1-2 notable images and quotes from the match
* The link to its corresponding thread, on [[YouChew]], [[YTPMania]], [[YellowTealPurple]], etc.
* If the match was complete, the corresponding completion number for each player ("This is Johnny's 32 completed match and Jenny's 39th.") Especially important if it was any player's first or last game.
* The rounds themselves - a YouTube link, the title and player. This can be generated with TennisWikiMatchPageTool, available on the help discord
* A YouTube link of the match compilation, if one exists. This can be easily done with [[GameSetMatch]]
* All notable citations and references

Feel free to ask around if you need more help, or read the documentation comments on related templates and pages to see what to do.

===Inline Citation Guide===
Written by {{dani_phantump}}. Especially important when writing sources for a match!

Theatrically or independently released films and short films are written in italics with release year in parentheses, such as Only Lovers Left Alive(2013). Golden age animated shorts(old cartoons) that were shown in theaters count for this designation, and are usually prefaced with any starring characters, the series it was otherwise released under, or the director who made it, such as "the Bugs Bunny short Tortoise Beats Hare(1941)" or "the Merrie Melodies short Have You Got Any Castles?(1938)" or "the Tex Avery short King-Sized Canary(1949)".

TV series, anime series and OVAs are written in italics with no release year to accomodate for the spans of time shows generally last as a minor formality, such as The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or Devilman Crybaby. If an OVA is a single episode long, such as Mighty Bean(1989), this is appropriate to list a release year for.

Video games are written in italics with both the system the game was released for, or otherwise the version that was used in a match, along with the release year both in parentheses, such as Super Mario World(SNES, 1990) and Elden Ring(PC/PS4, 2022). Music used from video games are notated by potential song title in quotes, along with the game OST it's from, such as "the track "Hoohoo Mountaintop" from the Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga(GBA, 2003) OST."

Songs released by music artists are written in quotes with the release year in parentheses, either with the artist or band in front, such as "the Genesis song "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" (1986)", or after, such as ""Under Pressure"(1981) by Queen and David Bowie". Use cases for either will vary. Songs from film soundtracks are notated with the song in quotes and the film written in italics with release year in parenthesis, with the designation of the song being from its soundtrack, such as "the song "Ice Dance" from the Edward Scissorhands(1990) OST".

Internet videos or other tennis rounds/YTPs are generally written in quotes with the release year in parentheses if available, followed by the creator or uploader, such as "something for the hard of thinking"(2008) by conradslater. If the internet video used is unknown, nondistinct, or otherwise can't be found, a basic general description is acceptable. If the internet video is very context specific in what it depicts, a reproduction of its original title embedded with a link to that video is considered optimal, such as the various Touhou videos linked on the ChrisGendo vs. TheChutley vs. trepmaws(2010) page.

Images, soundbytes or meme content are usually given general descriptions, with source material recommended if possible. If the sources used are already documented by the players involved in some way, those can be used appropriately if there is no other way to notate or describe that source, usually with their wording in quotes to let the reader know that it's how that player describes it. An example of this is conradslater's usage of "wairwolf screaming at a snake".

==Creating a Tool Page==
Tool pages (like video editors) are only necessary if they have documentation that goes beyond a simple summary, such as tips and tricks. When this is the case, there may already be an entry on its related category page, such as [[List of Video Editors]]. If not, or if you realize an expansion is possible, make a page and add the related data.

==Citing Sources==
Make sure to cite everything that you find, if possible. It is important we show our integrity! If adding sources, they will appear as a "Resources" section at the bottom of the article. Make sure to add a "Sources"/etc. header at the bottom or it'll just append to the last section, which could look cluttered and messy.

=Templates=
==Page Templates==
These are template pages that can be filled in with their respective information.

===Notable Match Page===
A page for making templates of a notable match. Can be found [[Notable Match Template|here.]]

==Bracket Templates==
All bracket templates start and end with double braces.

===Alias Templates===
People change their username online. This can be for a variety of factors, and it is important that this is kept up to date. Thus, templates exist for players that may have multiple usernames - for example, {{RapskallionXYZ}}. One can mouse over one of these names to see anything else they may have went by.

The current, up-to-date way to create aliases is to use the [[Template:Alias]] template. More instructions can be found there.

Templates that use older names should redirect to one "main" alias page. Remember to pass the "U" parameter or matchboxes will break!

===Staff Templates===
All current and former members of the [[Tennis Staff]] have yellow names: for example, {{ChrisGendo}}. All staff have their own templates, even if they don't have alternate names, just to turn their names yellow; use them whenever possible as there is currently no way to automatically parse them as such.

===Message Boxes===
Currently, message boxes exist for the following situations:
* Stub: A page is nowhere close to complete and needs significant work done
* WIP: A page is almost done, has most basic information, but still needs more
* InProgress: The page's subject matter is currently ongoing and may change suddenly
* PrivateVideo: Put this under a video that is currently private/lost. Use a different one for each private video (''not'' one per article).

More are expected as need necessary.

===Matchboxes===
A "match box" is a box that can be used to put basic information about a tennis match. The current version is "V2" and should be used instead of V1 so updates retain to each one across the site.

Their documentation can be found [[Template:MatchboxV2|here.]]

===Navboxes===
The following navigation boxes ("navboxes") exist for ease of communication across the site:
* Tournaments: Lists all canon [[tennis tournaments]].
{{Tournaments}}
* Types: Lists all common types of tennis.
{{Types}}

More are expected as need necessary.

==Resources==
This section has resources for wiki-building elements.
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki The MediaWiki home page, where most things can be found.
* https://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables Table Generator for MediaWiki - can also do Markdown, etc.

All current and former members of the [[Tennis Staff]] have yellow names: for example, {{ChrisGendo}}. All staff have their own templates, even if they don't have alternate names, just to turn their names yellow; use them whenever possible as there is currently no way to automatically parse them as such.

===Message Boxes===
Currently, message boxes exist for the following situations:
* Stub: A page is nowhere close to complete and needs significant work done
* WIP: A page is almost done, has most basic information, but still needs more
* InProgress: The page's subject matter is currently ongoing and may change suddenly
* PrivateVideo: Put this under a video that is currently private/lost. Use a different one for each private video (''not'' one per article).

More are expected as need necessary.

===Matchboxes===
A "match box" is a box that can be used to put basic information about a tennis match. The current version is "V2" and should be used instead of V1 so updates retain to each one across the site.

Their documentation can be found [[Template:MatchboxV2|here.]]

===Navboxes===
The following navigation boxes ("navboxes") exist for ease of communication across the site:
* Tournaments: Lists all canon [[tennis tournaments]].
{{Tournaments}}
* Types: Lists all common types of tennis.
{{Types}}

More are expected as need necessary.

==Resources==
This section has resources for wiki-building elements.
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki The MediaWiki home page, where most things can be found.
* https://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables Table Generator for MediaWiki - can also do Markdown, etc.

The [[Grey Tennis Tournament 2]] is a currently ongoing Video [[tennis]] tournament that commenced on May 15, 2026, co-hosted between {{TheChutley}}, who helmed the original [[Grey Tennis Tournament]], and {{Letycjusz S.}} and {{CRJ1}}. It is the 22nd tournament overall, the second tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] era, the sixth to technically be in a "Tennis Cup" format, and a revival of the original event which took place between late 2009 and early 2010. Distinctive of this event among other modern day tournaments was the decision made to keep it close-to-strictly like the original, down to the original old-school source limitations that were once common in organized tennis events. The voting account for this tournament is "King #DEDEDE", the familiar recurring antagonist of the ''Kirby'' series in a washed out monochromatic color scheme to match the hexadecimal hue within his designated name.

Signups were designed differently for this event to allow for more participants not on the YellowTealPurple forums to be able to sign up without necessarily needing an account on the site, and an initial threshold of 12 of the 32 participants were expressly reserved for either new players, or players who had not participated in the previous tennis tournament from the jump. This is the first tennis tournament to feature the participation of Ninja Weedle, deepfryer, PureQuicksilver, NiccoGabri, spperson_, Ro502, AMAZINGBORYS11, Antonio Blue, AdamCrazyDude, DwakeAwaken, and Doubleitch. cheedle returned after having last participated in the [[Tennis League 4]], and {{trepmaws}} returned after having last participated in the [[Doubles Cup 3]], having previously missed his chance to join the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]].

=Layout=

Like the original Grey Tennis Tournament, it was designed very similarly to the first [[Tennis Cup]]. This included the choice made to retain the old-school source limits of early tennis event standards, with each round made within each match not being allowed to use or add more than three sources, as an added challenge for a generation of tennisers who had up to this point become conditioned in the 16 years that followed the original event with limitless source usage in their rounds. With source usage having become a lot more flexible in terms of the types of media that could be used in tennis responses, {{dani_phantump}} drafted up a post in YellowTealPurple's "Video Tennis Rules" thread that specifically stipulated what counted as one source used and what didn't. Also like previous tournaments with source limits, Music and audio-only sources remained free reign, not counting as one source.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/video-tennis-rules.4/latest</ref>

The 5 day turnover time of modern standard was retained, and round time limit returned to the old standard of 20 seconds minimum to 3 minutes maximum. The old standard of Match Forfeit protocol from previous tournaments in a Cup format also returned. Voting returned to a strict point by point basis, with similar harsh penalties for the following:

- 3 Votes for going over the 5-day limit 
- 2 Votes for incorrect source usage (using over 3 sources). 
- 2 Votes for incorrect time length (under 20 seconds, over 3 minutes). 

Signups filled out completely in under 2 hours, leading to some discussion about participant limits becoming a very visible restriction in the present day.

[[RabbitSnore vs. Thereisnospoon303]] is a [[YTP Tennis|Youtube Poop Tennis match]] that took place between October 22, 2007 and October 30, 2007 on the early [[YouChew]] forums, a matter of months before both players became the new owners and leaders of the site. It was the [[YTP Tennis#The first matches|35th tennis match ever played]], the first tennis match for both players, and the first of three times both players would face each other of the course of their time making YTPs. Their three matches together, in addition to them being between two of the most significant figures in YouChew's early history, are also rare in that both players knew each other closely in real life.

While the latter two matches are themed around specific sources, this first match is an anything-goes match, with the only real condition stated as being "CDi-free". Both players utilized sources that were signature to their interests at the time, featuring a myriad of footage from things like various ''Sonic The Hedgehog'' animated series, ''Star Wars'' films, ''Metal Gear Solid'' footage, ''Sailor Moon'', various presidential debates, and other various films and music choices. Since October 2019, {{RabbitSnore}}'s rounds for this and the other matches with {{Thereisnospoon303}} have remained lost, leaving only the latter player's rounds as evidence that this match took place.

YTP Tennis, also known as Youtube Poop Tennis, Video Tennis, Remix Tennis or simply Tennis, is a artistic medium derivative of [[Photoshop Tennis]] and [[Youtube Poop]] involving the back-and-forth editing of video projects, often absurdist in nature.

While starting mainly as a derivative of YouTube Poop, and in the early years much more embraced by the full Youtube Poop community, it has increasingly become its own thing as time went on and the community of mainline Youtube Poop and the community of tennis have grown largely seperate. Much of modern tennis is a completely different beast in comparison to [[Youtube Poop]], often veering into much more experimental, atmospheric, avant-guarde and generally much more overstimulating territory.

There are many different types of tennis that have evolved over the years, but the tried and true "vanilla" 6 round 1v1 has held steady just as much.

=History (work in progress)=
==Origins==
<youtube>nRB-O214ezg</youtube>

The idea of remixing another person's video can be supposedly traced back as early as April of 2007, when dvariano uploaded a video called "Elated Chronological Junctures" that was supposedly the first "[[repoop]]" video, and thus considered to be technically the first "Round 2" ever made. However the original video that he edited, made by a user named bahbugandhum, has yet to be found again. Alongside this, Photoshop Tennis already existed, and original YouChew admin conradslater was a fan and an avid participant of it; there exists evidence of him engaging the community with it as early as June of 2007. As someone who took YTP seriously enough to consider it genuine art at that time, the equation to put together the tennis format with video, especially YTP, seemed to be a natural one for him to make.

<youtube>9SZvloYgu-s</youtube>

The first full match, also the first time that tennis was ever applied to the medium of video entirely on the internet, was in the form of [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10]], starting on August 11th, 2007 and ended on August 21st. In it's taking place, this match forth the full idea of someone doing a remix of someone else's video, and having the original maker do the same back, creating a "Tennis" like pattern. From this match onward the concept greatly expanded to great - and at the beginning considerably unimaginable - lengths of development and refinement.

==The Intitial "Freewheeling" Era (2007-2008)==

[[File:Introuble.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 5 of [[Conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]] (2007), the first match ever played.]]

At first, there was hardly any tennis community in a well defined sense to speak of; tennis was at the very beginning considered to be a straightforward extension of the main community for YTP itself, and would be considered an intricately connected part of YTP during the years in which the use of that branding for video remixes was at its strongest and most dedicated. Much of the tennis matches that were played following the first one was thus done so in a way that would be seen by modern standards as very disorganized; it was engaged with in the same relative loose, anarchic and "shitposty" spirit as YTP at large, being considered among the body of "contests" that included early collaborations as designated on conradslater's "Vanilla" YouChew forums. That being said, there were a handful of notable early names that became early fixtures in the world of tennis: BMATF played the second ever tennis match with Markie, and UncleChuckTH played the third ever tennis match with conradslater (the latter's second match), and both UncleChuckTH and BMATF would continue to exist in the world of tennis until the early 2010s. TangerineImpz vs. SeductiveBaz was played entirely start to finish on August 21, 2007, the day that the final round of the first tennis match was uploaded, and this was for a very long time the fastest tennis match ever played; SeductiveBaz would also be an early fixture and continued to tennis in some capacity until a full 12 years later. Second only to conradslater's early activity in tennis was that of {{MrDrunkenFox}}, who played multiple early games including with Tentor, plex14, PapaGonzales and Furnessly. This latter player, along with other such players such as InsinerateHymn, JazzDanceForChildren, TyrannosaurusReich, MelvanaInChains, dvariano, Luioigi, {{strong414bad}}, ADHDYoshi, GameCubeHero, Intenseowl, MVJ5197, 3inchhorse, ELPSteel, SushieBoy, Vorhias, sonicnerd23, and SesakaGenX would also serve to play their own individual roles in defining the nature of tennis at its earliest onsets. Tennis is considered to have reached one of its first peaks in its intersection with "Robotnik YTP" at the time - videos that focused entirely on remixing episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' and its main antagonist - in particular the matches of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first ever match to reach ten rounds, UncleChuckTH vs. BMATF(2007), [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]](2007), and especially [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow](2007). All of these would build a foundation for a strand of tennis that would eventually continue long separate from the main tennis community, which, although small, would localize and organize itself largely on the YouChew forums.

[[File:Unclechuckround10.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 10 of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]] (2007)]]

Aside from all of these other players however, one of the most important to come out of these first months was {{RabbitSnore}}, who played his first tennis match with real-life friend Thereisnospoon303, or TINS, in October 2007. Rabbit immediately came to develop a passionate and vested interest in tennis - the places that it could go and the ways in which it could develop - from the very offset of his entrance into it, and he sought to give the medium the attention and the analysis that it deserved through his initial position on the "Vanilla" YouChew forums as chief editor of the forum's "newsroom" - from October/November 2007 onward, Rabbit began his regular "Tennis Review" series of articles, with [[InsinerateHymn vs. PukingCyberman]] (2007), GameCubeHero vs. Intenseowl(2007) and [[Furnessly vs. MrDrunkenFox]] (2007) the first three matches he covered in this matter. He would contribute a "retrospective review" of conradslater vs. Misselaineous10 shortly thereafter, and it is from this point onward, largely through his insistence, that the importance and the nature of the first ever tennis match began to become recognized in the way it now is today.

His prominence in this activity and the quality of his articles for the time gained him the trust and admiration of Conrad himself, and he was able to use this sway to convince him to allow the tennis section to begin hosting its first [[tennis tournament]]s, with Gallers being the initial organizer of the first few to take place. After Rabbit had accumulated a respectable roster of completed matches including with YamiMario, SushieBoy, Miss10, and PapaGonzales, Rabbit took on Conrad himself in the now legendary match of [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]](2007). At a time when tennis usually came in the language of either "comedic" or of the extreme varieties conceived in the first match, this match was seen as a completely different third approach - of tennis as very much an art and of a thoughtful exchange in and of itself, even if this exchange was liable to get wild in other ways.

[[File:Milkr0undy2zeroframe.png|thumb|right|A frame from [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]] (2007), the only one of which existed for years until the game was found during [[The Great Restoration]].]]

In January 2008, Rabbit had gained enough of an influence over tennis - having played further matches with MrDrunkenFox, pimpsahoy, strong414bad, and UncleChuckTH, that he was able to create some of the earliest foundational texts on how tennis was meant to be played and approached: the Observational and Recreational Guides to tennis. On January 28, Rabbit also created the first of the "Tennis Café" threads, a general chat for the tennis section that allowed for the community to begin to consolidate together and organize themselves properly for the first time. Around this time, newer members began to enter into the community or gain a greater degree of visibility in the section, including {{Crash2991}}, {{strong414bad}}, {{GameBop}}, and {{Nuthead}}. For much of the original Cafe thread's incarnation, only Rabbit and Crash would be doing the majority of the regular posting, and between them talked about tennis matches often, with RabbitSnore vs. conradslater, conradslater vs. Miss10 and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]](2007) receiving repeated reference and discussion as part of an early canon of foundational matches for the community. Somewhere in this period due to his enthusiasm and prolific activity, RabbitSnore even began being regarded by a few as "The King of Tennis" - a title he never was comfortable with.

Conrad's last matches played were with TheDarkRises and Tentor521 in early 2008. He began to make a lot of strange, aggressive and elitist decisions in how he shaped and restructured the forum community, including among other things enforcing his "War on [[AIDS]]"(a crusade against what he termed to be low effort YTPs based on source and editor preference) upon the community in addition to a requirement for forum users to play at least one tennis match in order to be eligible to be "featured" on the site. The decline of his reign on the "Vanilla" forums coincided with the tennis community, in the absence of most everyone else, continuing to grow and consolidate around a growing collection of regular tennis players and posters in the Cafe. {{RAKninja}}, {{theHappyFungus}}, and {{NS2}} became such members at this time, and all engaged in tennis matches both with each other and other exterior players, with Temeku/MTB710, GreatBritishTurd and TheDarkRises all beginning to make regular tennis appearances. The "Vanilla" forums officially shut down at the end of March 2008, as conradslater relinquished control over to {{RabbitSnore}} and TINS, who purchased new forum software and a new server to give the community a fresh, laid-back start - free from the drama and the hardship of the site's original incarnation. Rabbit promptly created a new version of the Tennis Cafe, and it was shortly in the wake of this site's beginning that the official rules of tennis were finally laid down for the first time, stipulating the 6-round standard with which all tennis would orient itself around from this point onward.

===RabbitSnore, as Admin and the "First" "Tennis Fuck"===

The spring of 2008 was a prolific time for tennis with Rabbit and TINS now at the seats of administration. Outside of the developing core community, players such as GreatBritishTurd, Temeku/MTB710, TheDarkRises, ShadowWario/FancySanta, zacheatscrackers and DaftPunkYoshi all began to start leaving their marks within tennis during this time. RabbitSnore however began to considerably slow in activity around this point, with some of his matches played in this era being with the likes of BMATF, theHappyFungus, GameCubeHero, Christoph and Nuthead. He was now an administrator and "second in command" of a forum centered around YouTube Poop, which was now in a perpetual upswing of attention and discovery, and YouChew drew in those most avidly interested in this burgeoning medium of early internet creation like a magnet. The forum was ever so steadily growing in activity and users of all personality types - often younger, energetic and chaotic ones. The resulting overwhelm of the rest of the site would often get to Rabbit, resulting in him often retreating to his second Tennis Cafe thread to get away from it all, as it was by now starting to develop a reputation for having a much more toned down, easygoing and relaxed atmosphere. Multiple regulars of the Café would over time make this thread their only home on the entire site, and the tennis section the only active place that they would visit during their periods of activity. This was also the era where the Cafe began to be known and advertised as "YouChew's watering hole."

With these elements coming into play, Rabbit took the initiative to create a separate staff for this subforum in order to take the weight off of him managing the entire section on his own, and thus - the [[tennis staff]] was first formed in May 2008. It was an ultimately minor, utilitarian staff addition in the grand scheme of the rest of the site, but those who became its first members readily established it as something that signified a strong siblinghood - efforts to create greatness and value where others may have easily dismissed it. A matter of months later, RAKninja, the oldest and last chosen of the first generation of staff, would christen them with the informal moniker of the Tennis Fucks, a name that has stuck into the present on occasion. Many of the matches played in this period on the YouChew forums occurred between the members who would be chosen for this staff, including theHappyFungus vs. RabbitSnore, theHappyFungus vs. RAKninja, theHappyFungus vs. Nuthead, [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]], [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]], Crash2991 vs. strong414bad, RabbitSnore vs. Nuthead, theHappyFungus vs. NS2, and Nuthead vs. NS2. Out of these, the seeds that made up the foundation of much of the initial in-jokes in the community were first created, and would continue to do so with RAKninja supplying the lions share of enduring moments in tennis across the rest of the year. Through RAK, Crash, NS2 and theHappyFungus, a bedrock of culture in tennis was formed around a collective enjoyment of vintage, classic or otherwise certain selections of contemporary anime, as all of it would feature across these players matches, especially ones played with each other. Rabbit would often inquire about anime recommendations in the Cafe, indicating that he too was developing an interest and appreciation of his own. Between him and NS2, there was also the shared enjoyment of the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series, which would define both of their respective outputs in and out of tennis.

While there were originally six members chosen, making for a total of seven when counting Rabbit, the lineup would continue in a state of flux from its inception onward with the promotion and departure of various members, but generally settled around an early core of {{RAKninja}}, {{Crash2991}} and {{strong414bad}} as those the most faithful to the tennis section in this initial phase. As the Spring became the Summer of 2008, the Cafe and community were augmented by a new influx of regulars that included Emperor Ing, Rillion, WowComics, DrGenericMan, ThaNuke, guysafari, vvaluigi, Moogle, and Aesaun, who would make up the bulk of the non-competitive tennis matches played at this time. Rabbit and Crash in particular readily praised the quality of Moogle vs. theHappyFungus(2008), Moogle's first tennis match, as being one that matched the old classics in greatness. Moogle would introduce Touhou into tennis and its community, and create another defining and long-lasting staple within the present culture.

For GameBop, who was operating largely independently and with low activity at this time, they were focused on making sure that the ongoing Second Chain was staying on track, in lieu of ShadowWario/FancySanta starting it, losing interest, and then disappearing. In order to be able to directly edit and manage the participants roster themselves, they were made the first new addition to the tennis staff in June 2008, which slightly elevated their profile as a player. Emperor Ing, who was quickly becoming known as a "hardcore" defender of Windows Movie Maker, instigated the an all-WMM three-way match with fellow software users NS2 and strong414bad - a match he would give the title of "[[Windows Movie Master]]".

In terms of competitive tennis, all members of the staff would join the rest of the community in taking part in what would be subsequently seen as the first true major event for tennis, and the community's inaugural event under the tenure of Rabbit and TINS - The [[Tennis Cup]].

[[File:Somethingreallyexciting.png.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2]] (2008), the final match of the [[Tennis Cup]]. Ishkibibl would go on to win the tournament.]]

While the previous Tennis Leagues had been "competition" in a much looser sense, the Tennis Cup was the first elimination-based tournament in tennis, though it was clearly not approached with any grand stakes or ambition, and Ishkibibl even expressed great disappointment when he eventually was revealed to be the events winner following [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2|the final match between him and NS2.]] Despite this, the event was nonetheless the source of multiple matches in all manner of statuses, from complete to incomplete to their present-day fragmentation, that served to be major influences on many sectors of tennis going forward. While only one half of MTB710 vs. Domorato(2008) remains preserved, for example, the frenetic energy of the MTB710's surviving side plus the surviving titles of the other side - including one "MR. CLEAN NUKES THE UNITED STATES"(2008) - have served to amaze subsequent viewers due the intensity contained within the rounds and the speculation upon what the missing rounds must have contained. [[ophios vs. RAKninja]](2008) ended up pioneering almost an entire subgenre of slower, more ambient and mysterious tennis styles that would be later explored in greater depth by GameBop, Luioigi, and RAKninja himself. GameBop themselves only played in one full match in this tournament, their Set 2 match with GreatBritishTurd - fondly remembered for reaching rare heights in both cleverness and the at-the-time rare complexity of the visual effects - but even their unfinished match with strong414bad would later be a cited influence on one player in particular who was just about to enter the tennis community.

[[File:Mycrobopr4.png|thumb|right|The opening scene of round 4 of [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop]] (2008-2009). Round 3 appears heavily distorted in the viewport of the machine.]]

In June 2008, GameBop would start a match with a player who was as of yet a complete unknown to tennis. They had just existed out of their original account MicroProcessor314, and had just established a more YTP-centric account under the name of {{MycroProcessor}}. [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop|MycroProcessor vs. GameBop (2008-2009)]] was played at a pace that was fairly long for its era, but it served to represent the beginning of multiple new elements in tennis at the same time: the debut of one of the medium's most defining, radical and most influential new voices, as Mycro would quickly establish themselves as verbose, articulate and intelligent when it came to all matters of tennis and video remixes and would soon develop a reputation of writing intricate feedback on every tennis match played in the tennis forums; the beginning of a very different school of thought around tennis that focused for the first time on maximizing the potential of editing and stylistic development and the aesethetic sensibilities that were to come with it; the beginning of a long creative friendship between GameBop and MycroProcessor that firmly established a different and contrasting social constituency away from much of the rest of the tennis community. Mycro's fast-paced, densely-edited, high-stimulation tennis style apparent even in their earliest tennis output would serve to have a galvanizing effect upon tennis and its community, and immediately he found himself swamped with match requests from all manner of eager player looking to either see their work get tackled by him in this cutting edge style or to try and see if they could either outdo or subvert this style in their own ways. RAKninja and Mycro, in many ways complete opposites in each other as people, nonetheless established something of a foil dynamic; while both players came from different constituencies, they shared a passion for intricate tennis discussion, as RAKninja had recently opened the first thread in the tennis subforum dedicated entirely to "Tennis Theory", and the two of them would wage discussion and compare contrasting viewpoints in tennis for years to come. A match between them was always teased, as RAK believed there were ways he could tackle Mycro's style that no one else was thinking of, but a match between them would never end up taking place.

As the Summer became the Autumn and Winter of 2008, more regulars still became augmented to the main community, namely in the form of players such as TheChutley, quax94 and Futures Passed. Moogle was the next to be promoted to the tennis staff, and RabbitSnore returned after a few months absence and began matches with both Crash2991 and NS2, the former of whom had now switched back to using [[Windows Movie Maker]] as their primary editing software, but notably with the most minimal editing style possible within it. RAKninja was now taking up the reigns for the next tournament, here in the form of the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup]], the first successful execution of a (modified) form of [[Doubles]] matches in tennis, in which both individual performance and collaboration provided ample merit. Players such as JackTron7000, trepmaws and SergeantBacon found their formal entrance into the community through this event, and other players still either found or began to develop their voice as players. MycroProcessor's initial strong influence upon tennis began to bear a lot fruit over these course of events; GameBop's style began to undergo significant evolution in technique and execution, beginning a "middle period" in which their classic style would become refined and finalized. Mycro themselves began to insert the first references to the pokemon Jolteon into their videos, TheChutley began to make I.M. Meen a central part of the identity of her videos, and trepmaws played his first matches entirely, immediately establishing for himself a unique and different kind of editing intensity that was rooted more in the speed and ferociousness of metal music. Aesaun and AjaxCubed both took on their own spirited derivatives from Mycro's style, with Aesaun doing so the most openly, and they would eventually win the tournament itself through a combination of this and the execution of never before seen visual effects, courtesy of AjaxCubed's use of [[Final Cut Pro]] providing him plugins that no one else in tennis had at the time, aside from GreatBritishTurd. From the Doubles Cup's final match onward, it seemed like a "meta" had been established for tennis for the first time - the quality of a match was now being increasingly defined by the way players edited the previous rounds in terms of utilizing complexity, intensity or visual inventiveness, with the ability to capture/hold attention and entertain in both being seen as paramount. The finalists of this tournament were made up of all the most cutting edge players in this mold by the Spring of 2009: GameBop, MycroProcessor, AjaxCubed and Aesaun. The former would continue to establish their collective influence across tennis, while the latter two would actually disappear from the community fairly quickly after this.

This did not sit too well with multiple of the older figures in tennis. In the first set of the Doubles Cup, Terrorist and Nuthead, one of the earlier teams of pairs, ended up dropping out only 4 rounds into their match with GameBop and MycroProcessor, with Terrorist in particular lamenting that tennis had become less about "being funny" and now being more about "Effects everywhere, Videos flying around, and just [loud distorted audio] with it", which he considered to take the fun out of tennis. While Moogle positioned themselves to recognize how every tennis style had merit and could manifest fun in different ways, others did not entirely disagree with Terrorist, with one of the most prominent voices being Crash2991:

"Several players have made it become competitive and made several others think that it was supposed to be the uptight thing, rather than just playing around with each other's videos and showing them to each other."

[[File:Gandalflordoftennis.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]] (2008), or "The Lord of the Tennis".]]

Even before this point, a general sentiment had begun to develop, namely between older players such as strong414bad and Rabbit, of weariness around "heavy/intense/destructive" editing, something that began to presage an influx of matches started by or participated in by this constituency that deliberately intended to invoke "classic" tennis stylings. Exchanges within these matches would generally pair down on the use of effects and put a larger focus on the sources used within, allowing their easily exploitable qualities to shine brighter with minimal subversion and have the match more steered by what material was added and the comedic potential across the source mix. [[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008) was the first to be intentionally billed as a "classic style" match, but would be followed by similar matches such as [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]](2008) and NS2 vs. WowComics(2008). RAKninja in particular would play many matches of this type and score hit after hit of memorable moments from nearly all that he played in this era. Futures Passed vs. RAKninja(2008) saw him bring the "ROBOT BUNNIE BOOBIES" meme to life, [[RAKninja vs. RetroTheRaccoon]](2008) saw him immediately follow up with "Love is Here.", and even in his own Doubles Cup, [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]](2008) saw him create "Guys in Nature." These in-jokes would sweep across the YouChew forums and the entire tennis section, cementing the power of his influence upon the inner community. On the outskirts, ChrisGendo vs. NS2(2008) was taking place, in which NS2 would find for themselves a new kindred spirit in the community, and soon to be another significant voice in tennis.

[[File:Guysinnaturerealimage.jpg|thumb|right|The "Guys in Nature" gag from [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]] (2008) during the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup.]]]]

Going into 2009, the new school of more intricate, technically creative complex editing now indirectly faced the old school of simpler, humor based, aesthetically creative classic editing in a schizm that seemed to compete for attention influence in tennis, with both having ironclad constituency and sway by this point. While many names would stick to one lane, those who were more open minded and embracing of all styles would find themselves treated to what some would consider the peak of tennis' "golden age", but it also showed signs that the ways of the early "Freewheeling" era, in which competition was engaged more playfully and without well defined metas, was becoming superseded.

==The first matches==

{{WIP|REASON=The timestamps here are in EST, but they really should be in UTC. This applies for everything here, as others were done in MST - a better way of approaching this should be discussed.)}}

The following is a list of the first played, listing very match from August to the start of November 2007. The timestamps are based on their time started/completed on the [[YouChew]] forums. Titles are based on serving order in most cases. As some matches are logged as completed despite only going to 3 rounds, matches logged in the early "Tennis: Forfeited and Failed" section with at least that many will also be included.

Matches are sorted by date started, with the precise order going by when matches started sometimes by the hour and minute the first round of a match was posted if multiple matches start on the same day. Date format is MM-DD-YYYY.

==Further Developments==
The very first rematch in tennis (players going at it more than once) took place between MelvanaInChains and nimrodpowerz, with their second match going from November 17th to the 24th, 2007 - ending exactly a month after their first match concluded. <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/85033-melvanainchains-vs-nimrodpowerz-again/1.html</ref>

=Typical Game Format + Etiquette=
<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Lf7zolg-U</youtube> 
The rules of YTP Tennis are often customized to suit each pooper's needs. However, one of the original, and well known, formats is as follows:

* One player (P1) asks another, or in some cases the community as a whole, whether or not they would like to participate in a game. Here the number of videos to be made (or rounds, typically 4 or 6) is defined, as well as the length of each, and any other additional conditions. If an open challenge is made, a video is sometimes supplied. This is "Round 1", the serve of the tennis match.
* Another player (P2) accepts the challenge, and edits over P1's first video to make "Round 2". In addition to editing the video supplied, P2 can add new sources to mix in with it if they so choose.
* P1 follows through by remixing the new video to make "Round 3", adding sources of their own if they so choose. The game continues in a back and forth fashion like this until the round limit is met.
*It is always absolutely essential that the previous round always be used in some way to make each subsequent round, otherwise it is not considered true tennis.

For additional conditions to a match, they are usually outlined in these such ways:

- specific sources that are to be used for a match, like "video games only" (Furnessly vs. {{MycroProcessor}} (2008-2009)), "Final Fantasy only"({{Moogle}} vs. Mazz0Murder(2009)) or having each round correspond to a sequential letter of the alphabet with added sources and time limit (CorruptionSound's "ABC" Tennis Multi-Way (2011-2014))

- the amount of sources that can be added (in the early years, it was commonly suggested that added sources be capped at a maximum of three per round; in [[Kurkop vs. Metzgorrre]](2010), the condition was that No sources were to be added)

- specific software to be used, such as WMM ([[Dani vs. GameBop (WMM rematch)|dani_phantump vs. GameBop]](2012-2014), [[Vanilla WMM 5-Way|CorruptionSound vs. Massivezephyr14 vs. GameBop vs. BSP66c vs. Metroid998]](2010-2012))

- editing restrictions, such as "no visual distortion/ear rape"({{NS2}} vs. {{ChrisGendo}}(2009))

- a nonstandard match type, such as [[Wildcard]] ([[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008)), [[Multiplied Time]] ([[quax94 vs. MycroProcessor]](2009)) or [[Panic Tennis]] ({{dew}} vs. {{Gamebop}} vs. LeSuperKoffee(2012))

=Exceptions + Special Cases=
Often, 6 rounds in total is the conventional amount of rounds made that make a normal match considered "complete". However, in certain circumstances, especially if the players enjoy working off of each other, the number of rounds can often get extended to 8 or more. [[The 100 Round Tennis|{{TheChutley}} and vvaluigi began a match together]] with the intent of playing 100 rounds in total beginning in 2008, and have gotten as far as Round 75 in the present day, with a five year window of inactivity between 2011 and 2016. TheChutley is also known for often playing matches with various opponents that get extended to 8 rounds, having done so in her matches with {{GameBop}}, [[TheChutley vs. quax94|quax94]], [[TheChutley vs. ChrisGendo|ChrisGendo]], [[AbsoluteBillion vs. TheChutley|AbsoluteBillion]], JakeSteel, Rarenut59 and SesakaGenX, to name some. Her first match with Imaperson additionally extended all the way to 10 rounds, at a time when the only known instance of this otherwise was [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first 1v1 match to go this far.

In some cases, especially in tennis's early years, matches could be declared "complete" at an odd number, as well as one under the conventional amount of 6. This usually came about as a mutual agreement between the players involved that the match had reached a natural end, if not exactly a conventional one. Matches such as Crash2991 vs. strong414bad(2008) and [[AshcrementVII vs. UncleChuckTH]](2012) were called complete at 5 rounds, and in another, much rarer instance, RabbitSnore vs. {{NS2}} (2008-2009) was given "honorary completion" after only 3 rounds. Other matches like [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]] (2007) and {{Kurkop}} vs. LeSuperKoffee (2010) were declared complete at the unusual amount of 9 rounds. These circumstances usually only happen when the last even round of a match is either unable or unwilling to be made by the volleying side, but there is not a desire to consider the match "failed" for sentimental reasons, usually due to the players being close as friends or the quality of the match as it stands being considered too great for failure.

Additionally, matches can sometimes stall at an odd number with an even finishing round never being made and the match being considered neither completed nor failed due to a loss of communication. These include matches such as [[BMATF vs. Markie]](2007, the second ever tennis match), {{NS2}} vs. Markie(2012), {{dani_phantump}} vs. robochao1(2015-2016) and SushieBoy vs. guysafari(2010), all matches that never received a Round 6.

Ultimately though, a match is traditionally considered "failed" when one or both players have lost the desire to continue a match and the agreed number of rounds is not reached, and every player in tennis comes to play at least one, and often at least a few failed matches throughout their tennis career. There is however no definitive time limit to how long a tennis match must take. {{Metroid998}} vs. {{AshcrementVII}} notably took an entire 5 years to complete, lasting from 2011's Round 1 to 2016's Round 6. {{dani_phantump}} vs. {{verity larsen}} additionally took 4 years to complete, lasting from 2012 to 2016. Whether or not a match fails depends entirely on the players involved and their willingness to continue the match.

Etiquette is generally recommended when it comes to starting matches with people - like the game itself, communication is key. In the early days of tennis a direct challenge to a specific player would sometimes be cast without any prior planning to ultimately spotty success, and it was generally considered not the most popular way to start matches with people. Throughout Tennis's history, it has seen some players such as HerpyWhooves and {{autumnithink}} who were notorious for their habit of uploading serves to whoever they wanted as an opponent with no prior (or subsequent) communication whatsoever. While most of these serves were not volleyed, they on occasion were and did in fact blossom into full matches, such as {{autumnithink}} vs. {{CorruptionSound}} (2011) and HerpyWhooves vs. {{Gamebop}} (2011). It is still overall highly discouraged that one start matches with anyone this way however.

==Doubles Tennis==
Doubles Tennis is the practice of teams of two going at it. See [[Team Tennis#Doubles Tennis|here]] for more.

==Triples Tennis==
Tennis with three! See [[Team Tennis#Triples Tennis|here]] for more information.

==Multi-Ways==

Larger matches with more than two people, but still in a repeating pattern. See [[Multi-Way Match|here]] for more information.

==Poop Chains==
A '''Poop Chain''' is a longer match where a different person makes each round. These are usually large, community-wide collaborative events. See [[Chains|here]] for more.

=Tennis Café and Café Staff (Tennis Staff)=

The '''Tennis Café''' is the great congregation place of the world of tennis. Historically started on [[YouChew]] and migrating to every forum site since, it is where tennis players can "Come in, Have a Drink, Chat about Tennis, Promote and Arrange Matches" <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/1.html</ref>. Great efforts have been made recently to keep the Cafe active as much tennis activity becomes increasingly done on services like Discord.

The Café (along with tennis as a whole) is overseen by the [[Tennis Staff]], the moderators that oversee the tennis section of the medium's given forum home, and a group of individuals who strive for the success of the community and keep it stimulated and active through the hosting of events, the organization of interesting tennis matches and unique setups, and (under a more modern understanding) helping to set an example of a great person... and a great player. If you ever need help with something in tennis and can't get answers elsewhere, they are the best people to ask.

=Achievements=
As stated above, the first tennis match took place in '''2007''', between [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10.]]

The longest accepted tennis round is '''"Vore. Unbirth. Dinner." by {{MycroProcessor}}''', at a whopping '''six hours'''. The round is the final (sixth) round of [[Nineroe vs. MycroProcessor]], taking place during the first set of the [[Match Voting Tournament]]. While there are rounds longer, these are usually not counted due to lack of content or effort.

<youtube>Fol6UL1EUtM</youtube>

The longest true self-match is the "idc r1k" by dillon, a match that is at over a thousand rounds long. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtz_UBFzs0Jg6EeYXbnq2hkEMFGVVAPh6

The longest 1v1 match is {{system128}} vs. The British YTPer.

The longest tennis match is '''[[Missadaxio]]''', at nearly '''14000 rounds and counting'''. It isn't likely to be passed any time soon, as the match plan to go on forever.

Not a single player has won more than one individual [[tennis tournament]]. However, if counting collaborative matches, {{GameBop}} has the most wins with three: [[GTT]], [[TTT]], and [[MVT]]. For other tournament-related achievements, see [[Tennis Tournaments#Achievements|here.]].

The first time two [[tennis staff]] played each other was [[strong414bad vs. Nuthead]] in December, 2007. The first time this happened in a tournament environment was in [[TL2]] Gameweek 2, between [[strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore|{{strong414bad}} and RabbitSnore]].

The most viewed tennis round is "(YTP Tennis Round One) 20th Century Fox and Universal have a party" by Paperking, a serve for their match against TrickyMario7654. As of June 14th, 2025, it sits at 2,072,180 views!

Admin: pictures of matches

YTP Tennis, also known as Youtube Poop Tennis, Video Tennis, Remix Tennis or simply Tennis, is a artistic medium derivative of [[Photoshop Tennis]] and [[Youtube Poop]] involving the back-and-forth editing of video projects, often absurdist in nature.

While starting mainly as a derivative of YouTube Poop, and in the early years much more embraced by the full Youtube Poop community, it has increasingly become its own thing as time went on and the community of mainline Youtube Poop and the community of tennis have grown largely seperate. Much of modern tennis is a completely different beast in comparison to [[Youtube Poop]], often veering into much more experimental, atmospheric, avant-guarde and generally much more overstimulating territory.

There are many different types of tennis that have evolved over the years, but the tried and true "vanilla" 6 round 1v1 has held steady just as much.

This wiki is dedicated to everything about the sport - so if you want to know more, you're in the right place!

=History (work in progress)=
==Origins==
<youtube>nRB-O214ezg</youtube>

The idea of remixing another person's video can be supposedly traced back as early as April of 2007, when dvariano uploaded a video called "Elated Chronological Junctures" that was supposedly the first "[[repoop]]" video, and thus considered to be technically the first "Round 2" ever made. However the original video that he edited, made by a user named bahbugandhum, has yet to be found again. Alongside this, Photoshop Tennis already existed, and original YouChew admin conradslater was a fan and an avid participant of it; there exists evidence of him engaging the community with it as early as June of 2007. As someone who took YTP seriously enough to consider it genuine art at that time, the equation to put together the tennis format with video, especially YTP, seemed to be a natural one for him to make.

<youtube>9SZvloYgu-s</youtube>

The first full match, also the first time that tennis was ever applied to the medium of video entirely on the internet, was in the form of [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10]], starting on August 11th, 2007 and ended on August 21st. In it's taking place, this match forth the full idea of someone doing a remix of someone else's video, and having the original maker do the same back, creating a "Tennis" like pattern. From this match onward the concept greatly expanded to great - and at the beginning considerably unimaginable - lengths of development and refinement.

==The Intitial "Freewheeling" Era (2007-2008)==

[[File:Introuble.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 5 of [[Conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]], the first match ever played.]]

At first, there was hardly any tennis community in a well defined sense to speak of; tennis was at the very beginning considered to be a straightforward extension of the main community for YTP itself, and would be considered an intricately connected part of YTP during the years in which the use of that branding for video remixes was at its strongest and most dedicated. Much of the tennis matches that were played following the first one was thus done so in a way that would be seen by modern standards as very disorganized; it was engaged with in the same relative loose, anarchic and "shitposty" spirit as YTP at large, being considered among the body of "contests" that included early collaborations as designated on conradslater's "Vanilla" YouChew forums. That being said, there were a handful of notable early names that became early fixtures in the world of tennis: BMATF played the second ever tennis match with Markie, and UncleChuckTH played the third ever tennis match with conradslater (the latter's second match), and both UncleChuckTH and BMATF would continue to exist in the world of tennis until the early 2010s. TangerineImpz vs. SeductiveBaz was played entirely start to finish on August 21, 2007, the day that the final round of the first tennis match was uploaded, and this was for a very long time the fastest tennis match ever played; SeductiveBaz would also be an early fixture and continued to tennis in some capacity until a full 12 years later. Second only to conradslater's early activity in tennis was that of {{MrDrunkenFox}}, who played multiple early games including with Tentor, plex14, PapaGonzales and Furnessly. This latter player, along with other such players such as InsinerateHymn, JazzDanceForChildren, TyrannosaurusReich, MelvanaInChains, dvariano, Luioigi, {{strong414bad}}, ADHDYoshi, GameCubeHero, Intenseowl, MVJ5197, 3inchhorse, ELPSteel, SushieBoy, Vorhias, sonicnerd23, and SesakaGenX would also serve to play their own individual roles in defining the nature of tennis at its earliest onsets. Tennis is considered to have reached one of its first peaks in its intersection with "Robotnik YTP" at the time - videos that focused entirely on remixing episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' and its main antagonist - in particular the matches of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first ever match to reach ten rounds, UncleChuckTH vs. BMATF(2007), [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]](2007), and especially [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow](2007). All of these would build a foundation for a strand of tennis that would eventually continue long separate from the main tennis community, which, although small, would localize and organize itself largely on the YouChew forums.

[[File:Unclechuckround10.png|thumb|right|A scene from round 10 of [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]]]]

Aside from all of these other players however, one of the most important to come out of these first months was {{RabbitSnore}}, who played his first tennis match with real-life friend Thereisnospoon303, or TINS, in October 2007. Rabbit immediately came to develop a passionate and vested interest in tennis - the places that it could go and the ways in which it could develop - from the very offset of his entrance into it, and he sought to give the medium the attention and the analysis that it deserved through his initial position on the "Vanilla" YouChew forums as chief editor of the forum's "newsroom" - from October/November 2007 onward, Rabbit began his regular "Tennis Review" series of articles, with [[InsinerateHymn vs. PukingCyberman]] (2007), GameCubeHero vs. Intenseowl(2007) and [[Furnessly vs. MrDrunkenFox]] (2007) the first three matches he covered in this matter. He would contribute a "retrospective review" of conradslater vs. Misselaineous10 shortly thereafter, and it is from this point onward, largely through his insistence, that the importance and the nature of the first ever tennis match began to become recognized in the way it now is today.

His prominence in this activity and the quality of his articles for the time gained him the trust and admiration of Conrad himself, and he was able to use this sway to convince him to allow the tennis section to begin hosting its first [[tennis tournament]]s, with Gallers being the initial organizer of the first few to take place. After Rabbit had accumulated a respectable roster of completed matches including with YamiMario, SushieBoy, Miss10, and PapaGonzales, Rabbit took on Conrad himself in the now legendary match of [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]](2007). At a time when tennis usually came in the language of either "comedic" or of the extreme varieties conceived in the first match, this match was seen as a completely different third approach - of tennis as very much an art and of a thoughtful exchange in and of itself, even if this exchange was liable to get wild in other ways.

[[File:Milkr0undy2zeroframe.png|thumb|right|A frame from [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]], the only one of which existed for years until the game was found during [[The Great Restoration]].]]

In January 2008, Rabbit had gained enough of an influence over tennis - having played further matches with MrDrunkenFox, pimpsahoy, strong414bad, and UncleChuckTH, that he was able to create some of the earliest foundational texts on how tennis was meant to be played and approached: the Observational and Recreational Guides to tennis. On January 28, Rabbit also created the first of the "Tennis Café" threads, a general chat for the tennis section that allowed for the community to begin to consolidate together and organize themselves properly for the first time. Around this time, newer members began to enter into the community or gain a greater degree of visibility in the section, including {{Crash2991}}, {{strong414bad}}, {{GameBop}}, and {{Nuthead}}. For much of the original Cafe thread's incarnation, only Rabbit and Crash would be doing the majority of the regular posting, and between them talked about tennis matches often, with RabbitSnore vs. conradslater, conradslater vs. Miss10 and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]](2007) receiving repeated reference and discussion as part of an early canon of foundational matches for the community. Somewhere in this period due to his enthusiasm and prolific activity, RabbitSnore even began being regarded by a few as "The King of Tennis" - a title he never was comfortable with.

Conrad's last matches played were with TheDarkRises and Tentor521 in early 2008. He began to make a lot of strange, aggressive and elitist decisions in how he shaped and restructured the forum community, including among other things enforcing his "War on [[AIDS]]"(a crusade against what he termed to be low effort YTPs based on source and editor preference) upon the community in addition to a requirement for forum users to play at least one tennis match in order to be eligible to be "featured" on the site. The decline of his reign on the "Vanilla" forums coincided with the tennis community, in the absence of most everyone else, continuing to grow and consolidate around a growing collection of regular tennis players and posters in the Cafe. {{RAKninja}}, {{theHappyFungus}}, and {{NS2}} became such members at this time, and all engaged in tennis matches both with each other and other exterior players, with Temeku/MTB710, GreatBritishTurd and TheDarkRises all beginning to make regular tennis appearances. The "Vanilla" forums officially shut down at the end of March 2008, as conradslater relinquished control over to {{RabbitSnore}} and TINS, who purchased new forum software and a new server to give the community a fresh, laid-back start - free from the drama and the hardship of the site's original incarnation. Rabbit promptly created a new version of the Tennis Cafe, and it was shortly in the wake of this site's beginning that the official rules of tennis were finally laid down for the first time, stipulating the 6-round standard with which all tennis would orient itself around from this point onward.

===RabbitSnore, as Admin and the "First" "Tennis Fuck"===

The spring of 2008 was a prolific time for tennis with Rabbit and TINS now at the seats of administration. Outside of the developing core community, players such as GreatBritishTurd, Temeku/MTB710, TheDarkRises, ShadowWario/FancySanta, zacheatscrackers and DaftPunkYoshi all began to start leaving their marks within tennis during this time. RabbitSnore however began to considerably slow in activity around this point, with some of his matches played in this era being with the likes of BMATF, theHappyFungus, GameCubeHero, Christoph and Nuthead. He was now an administrator and "second in command" of a forum centered around YouTube Poop, which was now in a perpetual upswing of attention and discovery, and YouChew drew in those most avidly interested in this burgeoning medium of early internet creation like a magnet. The forum was ever so steadily growing in activity and users of all personality types - often younger, energetic and chaotic ones. The resulting overwhelm of the rest of the site would often get to Rabbit, resulting in him often retreating to his second Tennis Cafe thread to get away from it all, as it was by now starting to develop a reputation for having a much more toned down, easygoing and relaxed atmosphere. Multiple regulars of the Café would over time make this thread their only home on the entire site, and the tennis section the only active place that they would visit during their periods of activity. This was also the era where the Cafe began to be known and advertised as "YouChew's watering hole."

With these elements coming into play, Rabbit took the initiative to create a separate staff for this subforum in order to take the weight off of him managing the entire section on his own, and thus - the [[tennis staff]] was first formed in May 2008. It was an ultimately minor, utilitarian staff addition in the grand scheme of the rest of the site, but those who became its first members readily established it as something that signified a strong siblinghood - efforts to create greatness and value where others may have easily dismissed it. A matter of months later, RAKninja, the oldest and last chosen of the first generation of staff, would christen them with the informal moniker of the Tennis Fucks, a name that has stuck into the present on occasion. Many of the matches played in this period on the YouChew forums occurred between the members who would be chosen for this staff, including theHappyFungus vs. RabbitSnore, theHappyFungus vs. RAKninja, theHappyFungus vs. Nuthead, [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]], [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]], Crash2991 vs. strong414bad, RabbitSnore vs. Nuthead, theHappyFungus vs. NS2, and Nuthead vs. NS2. Out of these, the seeds that made up the foundation of much of the initial in-jokes in the community were first created, and would continue to do so with RAKninja supplying the lions share of enduring moments in tennis across the rest of the year. Through RAK, Crash, NS2 and theHappyFungus, a bedrock of culture in tennis was formed around a collective enjoyment of vintage, classic or otherwise certain selections of contemporary anime, as all of it would feature across these players matches, especially ones played with each other. Rabbit would often inquire about anime recommendations in the Cafe, indicating that he too was developing an interest and appreciation of his own. Between him and NS2, there was also the shared enjoyment of the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series, which would define both of their respective outputs in and out of tennis.

While there were originally six members chosen, making for a total of seven when counting Rabbit, the lineup would continue in a state of flux from its inception onward with the promotion and departure of various members, but generally settled around an early core of {{RAKninja}}, {{Crash2991}} and {{strong414bad}} as those the most faithful to the tennis section in this initial phase. As the Spring became the Summer of 2008, the Cafe and community were augmented by a new influx of regulars that included Emperor Ing, Rillion, WowComics, DrGenericMan, ThaNuke, guysafari, vvaluigi, Moogle, and Aesaun, who would make up the bulk of the non-competitive tennis matches played at this time. Rabbit and Crash in particular readily praised the quality of Moogle vs. theHappyFungus(2008), Moogle's first tennis match, as being one that matched the old classics in greatness. Moogle would introduce Touhou into tennis and its community, and create another defining and long-lasting staple within the present culture.

For GameBop, who was operating largely independently and with low activity at this time, they were focused on making sure that the ongoing Second Chain was staying on track, in lieu of ShadowWario/FancySanta starting it, losing interest, and then disappearing. In order to be able to directly edit and manage the participants roster themselves, they were made the first new addition to the tennis staff in June 2008, which slightly elevated their profile as a player. Emperor Ing, who was quickly becoming known as a "hardcore" defender of Windows Movie Maker, instigated the an all-WMM three-way match with fellow software users NS2 and strong414bad - a match he would give the title of "[[Windows Movie Master]]".

In terms of competitive tennis, all members of the staff would join the rest of the community in taking part in what would be subsequently seen as the first true major event for tennis, and the community's inaugural event under the tenure of Rabbit and TINS - The [[Tennis Cup]].

While the previous Tennis Leagues had been "competition" in a much looser sense, the Tennis Cup was the first elimination-based tournament in tennis, though it was clearly not approached with any grand stakes or ambition, and Ishkibibl even expressed great disappointment when he eventually was revealed to be the events winner following [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2|the final match between him and NS2.]] Despite this, the event was nonetheless the source of multiple matches in all manner of statuses, from complete to incomplete to their present-day fragmentation, that served to be major influences on many sectors of tennis going forward. While only one half of MTB710 vs. Domorato(2008) remains preserved, for example, the frenetic energy of the MTB710's surviving side plus the surviving titles of the other side - including one "MR. CLEAN NUKES THE UNITED STATES"(2008) - have served to amaze subsequent viewers due the intensity contained within the rounds and the speculation upon what the missing rounds must have contained. [[ophios vs. RAKninja]](2008) ended up pioneering almost an entire subgenre of slower, more ambient and mysterious tennis styles that would be later explored in greater depth by GameBop, Luioigi, and RAKninja himself. GameBop themselves only played in one full match in this tournament, their Set 2 match with GreatBritishTurd - fondly remembered for reaching rare heights in both cleverness and the at-the-time rare complexity of the visual effects - but even their unfinished match with strong414bad would later be a cited influence on one player in particular who was just about to enter the tennis community.

[[File:Mycrobopr4.png|thumb|right|The opening scene of round 4 of [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop]]. Round 3 appears heavily distorted in the viewport of the machine.]]

In June 2008, GameBop would start a match with a player who was as of yet a complete unknown to tennis. They had just existed out of their original account MicroProcessor314, and had just established a more YTP-centric account under the name of {{MycroProcessor}}. [[MycroProcessor vs. GameBop|MycroProcessor vs. GameBop (2008-2009)]] was played at a pace that was fairly long for its era, but it served to represent the beginning of multiple new elements in tennis at the same time: the debut of one of the medium's most defining, radical and most influential new voices, as Mycro would quickly establish themselves as verbose, articulate and intelligent when it came to all matters of tennis and video remixes and would soon develop a reputation of writing intricate feedback on every tennis match played in the tennis forums; the beginning of a very different school of thought around tennis that focused for the first time on maximizing the potential of editing and stylistic development and the aesethetic sensibilities that were to come with it; the beginning of a long creative friendship between GameBop and MycroProcessor that firmly established a different and contrasting social constituency away from much of the rest of the tennis community. Mycro's fast-paced, densely-edited, high-stimulation tennis style apparent even in their earliest tennis output would serve to have a galvanizing effect upon tennis and its community, and immediately he found himself swamped with match requests from all manner of eager player looking to either see their work get tackled by him in this cutting edge style or to try and see if they could either outdo or subvert this style in their own ways. RAKninja and Mycro, in many ways complete opposites in each other as people, nonetheless established something of a foil dynamic; while both players came from different constituencies, they shared a passion for intricate tennis discussion, as RAKninja had recently opened the first thread in the tennis subforum dedicated entirely to "Tennis Theory", and the two of them would wage discussion and compare contrasting viewpoints in tennis for years to come. A match between them was always teased, as RAK believed there were ways he could tackle Mycro's style that no one else was thinking of, but a match between them would never end up taking place.

As the Summer became the Autumn and Winter of 2008, more regulars still became augmented to the main community, namely in the form of players such as TheChutley, quax94 and Futures Passed. Moogle was the next to be promoted to the tennis staff, and RabbitSnore returned after a few months absence and began matches with both Crash2991 and NS2, the former of whom had now switched back to using [[Windows Movie Maker]] as their primary editing software, but notably with the most minimal editing style possible within it. RAKninja was now taking up the reigns for the next tournament, here in the form of the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup]], the first successful execution of a (modified) form of [[Doubles]] matches in tennis, in which both individual performance and collaboration provided ample merit. Players such as JackTron7000, trepmaws and SergeantBacon found their formal entrance into the community through this event, and other players still either found or began to develop their voice as players. MycroProcessor's initial strong influence upon tennis began to bear a lot fruit over these course of events; GameBop's style began to undergo significant evolution in technique and execution, beginning a "middle period" in which their classic style would become refined and finalized. Mycro themselves began to insert the first references to the pokemon Jolteon into their videos, TheChutley began to make I.M. Meen a central part of the identity of her videos, and trepmaws played his first matches entirely, immediately establishing for himself a unique and different kind of editing intensity that was rooted more in the speed and ferociousness of metal music. Aesaun and AjaxCubed both took on their own spirited derivatives from Mycro's style, with Aesaun doing so the most openly, and they would eventually win the tournament itself through a combination of this and the execution of never before seen visual effects, courtesy of AjaxCubed's use of [[Final Cut Pro]] providing him plugins that no one else in tennis had at the time, aside from GreatBritishTurd. From the Doubles Cup's final match onward, it seemed like a "meta" had been established for tennis for the first time - the quality of a match was now being increasingly defined by the way players edited the previous rounds in terms of utilizing complexity, intensity or visual inventiveness, with the ability to capture/hold attention and entertain in both being seen as paramount. The finalists of this tournament were made up of all the most cutting edge players in this mold by the Spring of 2009: GameBop, MycroProcessor, AjaxCubed and Aesaun. The former would continue to establish their collective influence across tennis, while the latter two would actually disappear from the community fairly quickly after this.

This did not sit too well with multiple of the older figures in tennis. In the first set of the Doubles Cup, Terrorist and Nuthead, one of the earlier teams of pairs, ended up dropping out only 4 rounds into their match with GameBop and MycroProcessor, with Terrorist in particular lamenting that tennis had become less about "being funny" and now being more about "Effects everywhere, Videos flying around, and just [loud distorted audio] with it", which he considered to take the fun out of tennis. While Moogle positioned themselves to recognize how every tennis style had merit and could manifest fun in different ways, others did not entirely disagree with Terrorist, with one of the most prominent voices being Crash2991:

"Several players have made it become competitive and made several others think that it was supposed to be the uptight thing, rather than just playing around with each other's videos and showing them to each other."

[[File:Gandalflordoftennis.png|thumb|right|A scene from [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]], or "The Lord of the Tennis".]]

Even before this point, a general sentiment had begun to develop, namely between older players such as strong414bad and Rabbit, of weariness around "heavy/intense/destructive" editing, something that began to presage an influx of matches started by or participated in by this constituency that deliberately intended to invoke "classic" tennis stylings. Exchanges within these matches would generally pair down on the use of effects and put a larger focus on the sources used within, allowing their easily exploitable qualities to shine brighter with minimal subversion and have the match more steered by what material was added and the comedic potential across the source mix. [[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008) was the first to be intentionally billed as a "classic style" match, but would be followed by similar matches such as [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]](2008) and NS2 vs. WowComics(2008). RAKninja in particular would play many matches of this type and score hit after hit of memorable moments from nearly all that he played in this era. Futures Passed vs. RAKninja(2008) saw him bring the "ROBOT BUNNIE BOOBIES" meme to life, [[RAKninja vs. RetroTheRaccoon]](2008) saw him immediately follow up with "Love is Here.", and even in his own Doubles Cup, [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]](2008) saw him create "Guys in Nature." These in-jokes would sweep across the YouChew forums and the entire tennis section, cementing the power of his influence upon the inner community. On the outskirts, ChrisGendo vs. NS2(2008) was taking place, in which NS2 would find for themselves a new kindred spirit in the community, and soon to be another significant voice in tennis.

[[File:Guysinnaturerealimage.jpg|thumb|right|The "Guys in Nature" gag from [[Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics]] during the first [[Doubles Cup 1|Doubles Cup.]]]]

Going into 2009, the new school of more intricate, technically creative complex editing now indirectly faced the old school of simpler, humor based, aesthetically creative classic editing in a schizm that seemed to compete for attention influence in tennis, with both having ironclad constituency and sway by this point. While many names would stick to one lane, those who were more open minded and embracing of all styles would find themselves treated to what some would consider the peak of tennis' "golden age", but it also showed signs that the ways of the early "Freewheeling" era, in which competition was engaged more playfully and without well defined metas, was becoming superseded.

==The first matches==

{{WIP|REASON=The timestamps here are in EST, but they really should be in UTC. This applies for everything here, as others were done in MST - a better way of approaching this should be discussed.)}}

The following is a list of the first played, listing very match from August to the start of November 2007. The timestamps are based on their time started/completed on the [[YouChew]] forums. Titles are based on serving order in most cases. As some matches are logged as completed despite only going to 3 rounds, matches logged in the early "Tennis: Forfeited and Failed" section with at least that many will also be included.

Matches are sorted by date started, with the precise order going by when matches started sometimes by the hour and minute the first round of a match was posted if multiple matches start on the same day. Date format is MM-DD-YYYY.

==Further Developments==
The very first rematch in tennis (players going at it more than once) took place between MelvanaInChains and nimrodpowerz, with their second match going from November 17th to the 24th, 2007 - ending exactly a month after their first match concluded. <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/85033-melvanainchains-vs-nimrodpowerz-again/1.html</ref>

=Typical Game Format + Etiquette=
<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Lf7zolg-U</youtube> 
The rules of YTP Tennis are often customized to suit each pooper's needs. However, one of the original, and well known, formats is as follows:

* One player (P1) asks another, or in some cases the community as a whole, whether or not they would like to participate in a game. Here the number of videos to be made (or rounds, typically 4 or 6) is defined, as well as the length of each, and any other additional conditions. If an open challenge is made, a video is sometimes supplied. This is "Round 1", the serve of the tennis match.
* Another player (P2) accepts the challenge, and edits over P1's first video to make "Round 2". In addition to editing the video supplied, P2 can add new sources to mix in with it if they so choose.
* P1 follows through by remixing the new video to make "Round 3", adding sources of their own if they so choose. The game continues in a back and forth fashion like this until the round limit is met.
*It is always absolutely essential that the previous round always be used in some way to make each subsequent round, otherwise it is not considered true tennis.

For additional conditions to a match, they are usually outlined in these such ways:

- specific sources that are to be used for a match, like "video games only" (Furnessly vs. {{MycroProcessor}} (2008-2009)), "Final Fantasy only"({{Moogle}} vs. Mazz0Murder(2009)) or having each round correspond to a sequential letter of the alphabet with added sources and time limit (CorruptionSound's "ABC" Tennis Multi-Way (2011-2014))

- the amount of sources that can be added (in the early years, it was commonly suggested that added sources be capped at a maximum of three per round; in [[Kurkop vs. Metzgorrre]](2010), the condition was that No sources were to be added)

- specific software to be used, such as WMM ([[Dani vs. GameBop (WMM rematch)|dani_phantump vs. GameBop]](2012-2014), [[Vanilla WMM 5-Way|CorruptionSound vs. Massivezephyr14 vs. GameBop vs. BSP66c vs. Metroid998]](2010-2012))

- editing restrictions, such as "no visual distortion/ear rape"({{NS2}} vs. {{ChrisGendo}}(2009))

- a nonstandard match type, such as [[Wildcard]] ([[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008)), [[Multiplied Time]] ([[quax94 vs. MycroProcessor]](2009)) or [[Panic Tennis]] ({{dew}} vs. {{Gamebop}} vs. LeSuperKoffee(2012))

=Exceptions + Special Cases=
Often, 6 rounds in total is the conventional amount of rounds made that make a normal match considered "complete". However, in certain circumstances, especially if the players enjoy working off of each other, the number of rounds can often get extended to 8 or more. [[The 100 Round Tennis|{{TheChutley}} and vvaluigi began a match together]] with the intent of playing 100 rounds in total beginning in 2008, and have gotten as far as Round 75 in the present day, with a five year window of inactivity between 2011 and 2016. TheChutley is also known for often playing matches with various opponents that get extended to 8 rounds, having done so in her matches with {{GameBop}}, [[TheChutley vs. quax94|quax94]], [[TheChutley vs. ChrisGendo|ChrisGendo]], [[AbsoluteBillion vs. TheChutley|AbsoluteBillion]], JakeSteel, Rarenut59 and SesakaGenX, to name some. Her first match with Imaperson additionally extended all the way to 10 rounds, at a time when the only known instance of this otherwise was [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]](2007), the first 1v1 match to go this far.

In some cases, especially in tennis's early years, matches could be declared "complete" at an odd number, as well as one under the conventional amount of 6. This usually came about as a mutual agreement between the players involved that the match had reached a natural end, if not exactly a conventional one. Matches such as Crash2991 vs. strong414bad(2008) and [[AshcrementVII vs. UncleChuckTH]](2012) were called complete at 5 rounds, and in another, much rarer instance, RabbitSnore vs. {{NS2}} (2008-2009) was given "honorary completion" after only 3 rounds. Other matches like [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]] (2007) and {{Kurkop}} vs. LeSuperKoffee (2010) were declared complete at the unusual amount of 9 rounds. These circumstances usually only happen when the last even round of a match is either unable or unwilling to be made by the volleying side, but there is not a desire to consider the match "failed" for sentimental reasons, usually due to the players being close as friends or the quality of the match as it stands being considered too great for failure.

Additionally, matches can sometimes stall at an odd number with an even finishing round never being made and the match being considered neither completed nor failed due to a loss of communication. These include matches such as [[BMATF vs. Markie]](2007, the second ever tennis match), {{NS2}} vs. Markie(2012), {{dani_phantump}} vs. robochao1(2015-2016) and SushieBoy vs. guysafari(2010), all matches that never received a Round 6.

Ultimately though, a match is traditionally considered "failed" when one or both players have lost the desire to continue a match and the agreed number of rounds is not reached, and every player in tennis comes to play at least one, and often at least a few failed matches throughout their tennis career. There is however no definitive time limit to how long a tennis match must take. {{Metroid998}} vs. {{AshcrementVII}} notably took an entire 5 years to complete, lasting from 2011's Round 1 to 2016's Round 6. {{dani_phantump}} vs. {{verity larsen}} additionally took 4 years to complete, lasting from 2012 to 2016. Whether or not a match fails depends entirely on the players involved and their willingness to continue the match.

Etiquette is generally recommended when it comes to starting matches with people - like the game itself, communication is key. In the early days of tennis a direct challenge to a specific player would sometimes be cast without any prior planning to ultimately spotty success, and it was generally considered not the most popular way to start matches with people. Throughout Tennis's history, it has seen some players such as HerpyWhooves and {{autumnithink}} who were notorious for their habit of uploading serves to whoever they wanted as an opponent with no prior (or subsequent) communication whatsoever. While most of these serves were not volleyed, they on occasion were and did in fact blossom into full matches, such as {{autumnithink}} vs. {{CorruptionSound}} (2011) and HerpyWhooves vs. {{Gamebop}} (2011). It is still overall highly discouraged that one start matches with anyone this way however.

==Doubles Tennis==
Doubles Tennis is the practice of teams of two going at it. See [[Team Tennis#Doubles Tennis|here]] for more.

==Triples Tennis==
Tennis with three! See [[Team Tennis#Triples Tennis|here]] for more information.

==Multi-Ways==

Larger matches with more than two people, but still in a repeating pattern. See [[Multi-Way Match|here]] for more information.

==Poop Chains==
A '''Poop Chain''' is a longer match where a different person makes each round. These are usually large, community-wide collaborative events. See [[Chains|here]] for more.

=Tennis Café and Café Staff (Tennis Staff)=

The '''Tennis Café''' is the great congregation place of the world of tennis. Historically started on [[YouChew]] and migrating to every forum site since, it is where tennis players can "Come in, Have a Drink, Chat about Tennis, Promote and Arrange Matches" <ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/1.html</ref>. Great efforts have been made recently to keep the Cafe active as much tennis activity becomes increasingly done on services like Discord.

The Café (along with tennis as a whole) is overseen by the [[Tennis Staff]], the moderators that oversee the tennis section of the medium's given forum home, and a group of individuals who strive for the success of the community and keep it stimulated and active through the hosting of events, the organization of interesting tennis matches and unique setups, and (under a more modern understanding) helping to set an example of a great person... and a great player. If you ever need help with something in tennis and can't get answers elsewhere, they are the best people to ask.

=Achievements=
As stated above, the first tennis match took place in '''2007''', between [[Conradslater vs Misselaineous10|Conradslater and Misslaineous10.]]

The longest accepted tennis round is '''"Vore. Unbirth. Dinner." by {{MycroProcessor}}''', at a whopping '''six hours'''. The round is the final (sixth) round of [[Nineroe vs. MycroProcessor]], taking place during the first set of the [[Match Voting Tournament]]. While there are rounds longer, these are usually not counted due to lack of content or effort.

<youtube>Fol6UL1EUtM</youtube>

The longest true self-match is the "idc r1k" by dillon, a match that is at over a thousand rounds long. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtz_UBFzs0Jg6EeYXbnq2hkEMFGVVAPh6

The longest 1v1 match is {{system128}} vs. The British YTPer.

The longest tennis match is '''[[Missadaxio]]''', at nearly '''14000 rounds and counting'''. It isn't likely to be passed any time soon, as the match plan to go on forever.

Not a single player has won more than one individual [[tennis tournament]]. However, if counting collaborative matches, {{GameBop}} has the most wins with three: [[GTT]], [[TTT]], and [[MVT]]. For other tournament-related achievements, see [[Tennis Tournaments#Achievements|here.]].

The first time two [[tennis staff]] played each other was [[strong414bad vs. Nuthead]] in December, 2007. The first time this happened in a tournament environment was in [[TL2]] Gameweek 2, between [[strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore|{{strong414bad}} and RabbitSnore]].

The most viewed tennis round is "(YTP Tennis Round One) 20th Century Fox and Universal have a party" by Paperking, a serve for their match against TrickyMario7654. As of June 14th, 2025, it sits at 2,072,180 views!

'''CorruptionSound vs. {{Massivezephyr14}} (Massivezephyr14)/{{djninjalovemistake}} vs. GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. Metroid998''', also known unofficially as the '''Vanilla WMM 5-Way''', was a Youtube Poop/Video tennis [[Multi-Way Match]] that took place between March 12, 2010 and October 24, 2011, though the match proper didn't actually officially commence until October 9, 2010, the date that Round 2 was first posted. All five players in the match were required to only use [[Windows Movie Maker]] and without the surplus of custom effects and transitions that dominated previous WMM events such as the [[Windows Movie Master]], thus making it "vanilla". This was the second time that GameBop and {{Sploltoen}} had been in a direct tennis exchange together since [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor|their Set 2 match]] in the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], the second time that CorruptionSound and Metroid998 had been in a direct tennis exchange together following their concurrent three-way with PerfectCell33/NEVERGONNAGETIT92000, the second time that {{Sploltoen}} and {{Metroid998}} shared a direct tennis change following their concurrent 1v1 match, the first time that GameBop and CorruptionSound would share a match together, and the first time that any players would encounter either {{Massivezephyr14}} (during their brief yet amusing existence as Massivezephyr14<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-on-the-ground-floor-of-the-hotel-tennis.30/post-47293</ref>) or djninjalovemistake, for whom this was among the latter's earlier tennis contributions. {{GameBop}} was the only player for whom [[Windows Movie Maker]] was their original editor of choice when first making videos, and this was their third match played with the software following SesakaGenX (Match #1) and Emperor Ing. Sources are added very minimally across the match, and include "Vintheta Furacão 2000 (Ao Vivo)"(2000) by Furacão 2000, a short video clip and Pokemon card of a Sandshrew, ''Happy Tree Friends'', footage of Riley Francis (the younger brother of superkoffee, who on YouTube at the time uploaded short clips under the name BoobyMcBoobBoobs), ''Sonic Adventure 2''(Dreamcast, 2001), an animation cel from ''The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog'' featuring a considerably "naked" Robotnik, ''Pokemon Black and White''(DS, 2010), ''Ninja: Silent Assassin''(1987), VHS tape footage and text and titles generated within the software. ''[Note: Source list incomplete]''

{{DaftPunkYoshi}} was offered to participate in the match, which would have made this his final match played with Windows Movie Maker, but he was unable to and declined.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/72668-wmm-tennis-without-custom-effects/1.html#post-2975329</ref> Among the first matches played to treat [[Windows Movie Maker]] as a post-contemporary "legacy" software, this was the 14th match completed by CorruptionSound, the first match to feature the participation of Massivezephyr14, the 13th match to feature a contribution from djninjalovemistake, the 48th match completed by GameBop, the 17th match completed by {{Sploltoen}}, and the 33rd match completed by {{Metroid998}}. Much of the match is defined by the creative choices taken in Round 3, with the word SANDSHREW being recognizable through every round from this point until the final rotation, where belated source additions finally supersede it. The match is only broken from its "no custom effects" theme in Massivezephyr14's Round 2, due to its use of an Invert and 3D effect<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/72668-wmm-tennis-without-custom-effects/1.html#post-2975432</ref>, with his Round 7 additionally responding to Round 3 instead of Round 6 before he dropped out.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/72668-wmm-tennis-without-custom-effects/1.html#post-3034110</ref> The match is remembered today for its lo-fi feeling, largely abstract visual content, and above-average intricate audio work for such software, which bears the resemblance of electronic, experimental, glitch, IDM and noise music, and has thus been an enduring influence on players such as {{vel 17}}.

Massivezehpyr14's Round 2 and 7 were reuploaded on December 1, 2011 by CorruptionSound himself<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/72668-wmm-tennis-without-custom-effects/1.html#post-3923129</ref>, and all other rounds have continued to survive in their original uploads. The match was first compiled into a single video for the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in December 2025.

=Layout=
The match is a standard multi-way, 3 rotations of 5 people = 15 rounds.

{{djninjalovemistake}} (known at the time as FirstRateSmasher) replaced Massivezephyr14 for the final rotation (round 12).

[[Category:Chains]]

{{GameBop}} vs. Everyone is a [[tennis match]] that started on August 23, 2011 and ongoing from July 4, 2018. Commenced as a way for {{GameBop}} to mark their 21st birthday, the format of this has since become treated as its own variant and is thus seen as the first "[[Vs. Everyone]]" match, where one person does all the odd rounds with a different person each time doing the evens. It has currently lasted for 32 out of the intended 100 rounds, with the most recent round produced by {{Viravax}} On July 4, 2018.

A wide variety of sources are used throughout the match, including ''Kukori Es Kotkoda'', the music video for Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" (1990), ''Link: The Faces of Evil'' (CD-i, 1993) the "March Ahead" theme from ''Paper Mario'' (N64, 2000), ''Panic!'' (Sega CD, 1993), ''Nichijou'', ''The Great Mouse Detective'' (1986), ''Riven'' (PC, 1997), one of the commercials for ''Mario Golf'' (GBC, 2001), The songs "The Colony of Slippermen" and "it." from Genesis' ''The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'' (1974), one of the 80's ''Care Bears'' movies, and the Simpsons skit "Steamed Hams" (1996).

The '''Tennis League {{5}}''', also known as '''TL5''' was a [[tennis tournament]] held from 2019 to 2020 on [[YTPMania]]. It was the seventeenth tournament overall and the first of four to be hosted on that site.

It was hosted by {{mrdoognoog}}, {{VidTens443}}, {{nm41}}, {{dew}}, and Morshe, marking the official beginning of the post-[[YouChew]] era of tennis tournaments. It returned to many of the fundamental tenants of the [[Tennis League 4]], now with the added gimmick of divisions rotating through different match types like the [[Tennis Season]], including Wildcard, Single Source, [[Multiplied Time]], [[Noplug]], and Standard/"Vanilla". For the first time since the [[Doubles Cup 1]], votes were collected entirely by public poll, but with no judge votes used at all. It was eventually won by {{Razerek}}<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-final-cheechee-vs-nmfourtyone-vidtens443-vs-mafar-vs-lopunnyboy-zevio-vs-razerek-done-vote/7224/31</ref>, making him the second ever person to win a tennis tournament twice, and the first to win two tournaments in a row.

The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. Initially, when tennis operations had fully relocated to YTPMania following [[YouChew]]'s closure, a new tournament was teased by the [[tennis staff]] of the time but nothing ever came to fruition, and after a year's time many members would post statements of retirement instead, including {{Biodegradable}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, {{MycroProcessor}} and {{Metroid998}}. The Tennis League 5 was thusly the first conjured by a completely new generation of players, with {{VidTens443}} stating in the introductory post for the event that "many years had passed" since a tournament took place (in fact, only two years had passed since the beginning of the [[Doubles Cup 3]].)

Sentiment of the tournament was generally negative. While initial hype was very high as it had been some time since the previous tournament (the [[Doubles Cup 3]] had ended just over a year before and the League format had not been attempted since 2014), criticism began to emerge as the tournament continued to go on, something that had plagued the previous two league tournaments as well. Replacements became abundant to the point where later sets had to be modified to account for the reduced amount of players. Staff at the time had agreed to never try the tournament again, however in recent years thoughts about returning the format with significant changes has been proposed. The [[Bronze Tennis League]] came directly at the result of host {{ivan}}'s discontent with the tournament, played in a smaller scale to successful completion.

It was the first tennis competition to feature {{CRJ1}}, {{Milk Gaming Channel}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Wodienfor}}, {{Instert Name Here}}, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords, the final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and the only tournament to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}, Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe.

=Layout=
TL5 was laid out very similar to [[TL4]], with a twist. combining the league format as well as the gameweek variations seem in the [[Tennis Season]], each player would go through five different types of matches. These were:
* A regular, "vanilla" match
* [[Multiplied Time Tennis]] (starting at 16 seconds)
* [[NoPlug Tennis]]
* Single Source Tennis - a source, usually a TV show or movie, was decided on, which was the only available option for the whole match.
* [[Wildcard Tennis]]

While interesting on paper, many of these special tennis types resulted in unfair advantages for players depending on if they made even or odd rounds (in particular, MTT and Wildcard).

The '''Tennis League {{5}}''', also known as '''TL5''' was a [[tennis tournament]] held from 2019 to 2020 on [[YTPMania]]. It was the seventeenth tournament overall and the first of four to be hosted on that site.

It was hosted by {{mrdoognoog}}, {{VidTens443}}, {{nm41}}, {{dew}}, and Morshe, marking the official beginning of the post-[[YouChew]] era of tennis tournaments. It returned to many of the fundamental tenants of the [[Tennis League 4]], now with the added gimmick of divisions rotating through different match types like the [[Tennis Season]], including Wildcard, Single Source, [[Multiplied Time]], [[Noplug]], and Standard/"Vanilla". For the first time since the [[Doubles Cup 1]], votes were collected entirely by public poll, but with no judge votes used at all. It was eventually won by {{Razerek}}<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-final-cheechee-vs-nmfourtyone-vidtens443-vs-mafar-vs-lopunnyboy-zevio-vs-razerek-done-vote/7224/31</ref>, making him the second ever person to win a tennis tournament twice, and the first to win two tournaments in a row.

The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. Initially, when tennis operations had fully relocated to YTPMania following [[YouChew]]'s closure, a new tournament was teased by the [[tennis staff]] of the time but nothing ever came to fruition, and after a year's time many members would post statements of retirement instead, including {{Biodegradable}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, {{MycroProcessor}} and {{Metroid998}}. The Tennis League 5 was thusly the first conjured by a completely new generation of players, with {{VidTens443}} stating in the introductory post for the event that "many years had passed" since a tournament took place (in fact, only two years had passed since the beginning of the [[Doubles Cup 3]].)

Sentiment of the tournament was generally negative. While initial hype was very high as it had been some time since the previous tournament (the [[Doubles Cup 3]] had ended just over a year before and the League format had not been attempted since 2014), criticism began to emerge as the tournament continued to go on, something that had plagued the previous two league tournaments as well. Replacements became abundant to the point where later sets had to be modified to account for the reduced amount of players. Staff at the time had agreed to never try the tournament again, however in recent years thoughts about returning the format with significant changes has been proposed. The [[Bronze Tennis League]] came directly at the result of host {{ivan}}'s discontent with the tournament, played in a smaller scale to successful completion.

It was the first tennis competition to feature {{CRJ1}}, {{Milk Gaming Channel}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Wodienfor}}, {{Instert Name Here}}, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords, the final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and the only tournament to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}, Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe.

=Layout=
TL5 was laid out very similar to [[TL4]], with a twist. combining the league format as well as the gameweek variations seem in the [[Tennis Season]], each player would go through five different types of matches. These were:
* A regular, "vanilla" match
* [[Multiplied Time Tennis]] (starting at 16 seconds)
* [[NoPlug Tennis]]
* Single Source Tennis - a source, usually a TV show or movie, was decided on, which was the only available option for the whole match.
* [[Wildcard Tennis]]

While interesting on paper, many of these special tennis types resulted in unfair advantages for players depending on if they made even or odd rounds (in particular, MTT and Wildcard).

The '''Tennis League {{5}}''', also known as '''TL5''' was a [[tennis tournament]] held from 2019 to 2020 on [[YTPMania]]. It was the seventeenth tournament overall and the first of four to be hosted on that site.

It was hosted by {{mrdoognoog}}, {{VidTens443}}, {{nm41}}, {{dew}}, and Morshe, marking the official beginning of the post-[[YouChew]] era of tennis tournaments. It returned to many of the fundamental tenants of the [[Tennis League 4]], now with the added gimmick of divisions rotating through different match types like the [[Tennis Season]], including Wildcard, Single Source, [[Multiplied Time]], [[Noplug]], and Standard/"Vanilla". For the first time since the [[Doubles Cup 1]], votes were collected entirely by public poll, but with no judge votes used at all. It was eventually won by {{Razerek}}<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-final-cheechee-vs-nmfourtyone-vidtens443-vs-mafar-vs-lopunnyboy-zevio-vs-razerek-done-vote/7224/31</ref>, making him the second ever person to win a tennis tournament twice, and the first to win two tournaments in a row.

The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. Initially, when tennis operations had fully relocated to YTPMania following [[YouChew]]'s closure, a new tournament was teased by the [[tennis staff]] of the time but nothing ever came to fruition, and after a year's time many members would post statements of retirement instead, including {{Biodegradable}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, {{MycroProcessor}} and {{Metroid998}}. The Tennis League 5 was thusly the first conjured by a completely new generation of players, with {{VidTens443}} stating in the introductory post for the event that "many years had passed" since a tournament took place (in fact, only two years had passed since the beginning of the [[Doubles Cup 3]].)

It was the first tennis competition to feature {{CRJ1}}, {{Milk Gaming Channel}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Wodienfor}}, {{Instert Name Here}}, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords, the final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and the only tournament to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}, Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe.

=Layout=
TL5 was laid out very similar to [[TL4]], with a twist. combining the league format as well as the gameweek variations seem in the [[Tennis Season]], each player would go through five different types of matches. These were:
* A regular, "vanilla" match
* [[Multiplied Time Tennis]] (starting at 16 seconds)
* [[NoPlug Tennis]]
* Single Source Tennis - a source, usually a TV show or movie, was decided on, which was the only available option for the whole match.
* [[Wildcard Tennis]]

While interesting on paper, many of these special tennis types resulted in unfair advantages for players depending on if they made even or odd rounds (in particular, MTT and Wildcard).

Wildcard Tennis

2026-04-15T20:07:08Z

Admin: /* Notable Matches */

[[Category:Tennis Types]]

''(Not related to [[BCC]] Wild Cards.)''

'''Wildcard Tennis''' is a special type of tennis that adds "wildcards" - special restrictions - to each round. Generally, these wildcards would be different per round, chosen by the player who just finished to give to their opponent alongside their completed work. It was originally invented by {{Crash2991}} on January 31, 2008<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-café-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/6#post-3674733</ref>, and gradually refined into the form we currently understand it over the course of that year. This culminated in the first wildcard game ever played, [[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]] in late 2008.

These restrictions could go from simple (like an entirely monochrome video) to extreme (like forcing you to only use one effect)! Some wildcard matches will also ''stack'' restrictions on top of each other, making it harder and harder to make your next video. You have to be careful what you recommend!

=Common Wildcards=
There are ''endless'' restrictions you can place on a video. But here's a few simple, common ones:

* Your video must be monochrome (black and white)
* No external editors or plugins ([[Noplug]])
* You must use a certain resolution or frame rate (often very low)
* The audio and video must be de-synchronized in some way
* The previous round must be rendered in a certain way before work can be done (for example, reversed)
* You can only use certain sources, or no sources at all
* You only have a certain amount of time to make the round ([[Panic Tennis]])

You can find other wildcard restrictions by looking at previous wildcard matches, as well as the Choose Your Fates Collabs which were a similar concept but in [[YTP]] form.

=Notable Matches=
- [[RabbitSnore vs. Crash2991]](2008), the first match to be played under this variant 
- Moogle vs. RabbitSnore(2009), a [[Tennis Season]] match of the Wildcard variant where both players activated the "Forever Wild" ability, meaning each round had three conditions applied to it. 
- [[JazzDanceForChildren + TangerineImpz vs. RAKninja + Crash2991]] (2009), a [[Tennis Season]] [[Doubles]] match given Wildcard rules by the latter two players. 
- {{GameBop}} vs. Combuskenisawesome(2009), a [[Tennis Season]] Wildcard match known for having very extreme restrictions for the time. 
- The [[Tennis League 5]] had wildcard matches as one of its special match types. [[VidTens443 vs. dani phantump]] (2019) used the Wildcard variant to apply "[https://stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html Oblique Strategies]" conditions to rounds. 
- VEN0M's Wildcard Chain, which took the idea into [[chain]] format

[[theHappyFungus vs. NS2]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between June 21 and 28, 2008. NS2 had notated down a desire to play an "anime-only" match in March 2008 in the earliest version of his roster, and was initially hesitant about the idea that this would be welcomed, fearing getting "flamed" for desiring the concept.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/30.html#post-3752844</ref> {{RabbitSnore}}, {{Crash2991}} and theHappyFungus all were embracing of it however when it was first brought up, with the latter first expressing her desire to play NS2 on March 10.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/31.html#post-3755775</ref> Some days later, NS2 expressed his enjoyment and regular use of ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' through the posting of his solo video "When the Cicadas Poop"(2008), which happened to also be an anime that theHappyFungus specialized in using in her work and was interested in seeing it be edited by others.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/34.html#post-3761434</ref> The match was officially confirmed to soon happen in April, and after some deliberating on concept became not only an all-anime match, but a match that focused entirely on the ''Higurashi'' anime adaptions made up to that point as the only sources used for all 6 rounds.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/2.html#post-146678</ref> This was one of a series of matches played during the Spring and Summer of 2008 that saw the consolidation of the first generation of tennis staff as players, friends and community presences. These matches include theHappyFungus vs. RabbitSnore, [[theHappyFungus vs. RAKninja]], [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]], theHappyFungus vs. Nuthead, [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]], Crash2991 vs. strong414bad, RabbitSnore vs. Nuthead, and Nuthead vs. NS2.

Of who he thought was the superior player, Rabbit simply surmised "I might have to call a tie on this one."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/47.html#post-324988</ref> sonicnerd23, Temeku/MTB710, seanvol, MAZZ0Murder, {{Moogle}}, eletricalmonkss and GorillaCrap35 were all contemporary fans of the match<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/6813-thehappyfungus-vs-ns2/1.html#post-309203</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIlVYGwwqGo&lc=Ugz5YuCY4qeMtPolxod4AaABAg&pp=0gcJCSIANpG00pGi</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIlVYGwwqGo&lc=UgwIXjsv2_c743-RvUl4AaABAg</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/6813-thehappyfungus-vs-ns2/1.html#post-294612</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/6813-thehappyfungus-vs-ns2/1.html#post-297303</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/6813-thehappyfungus-vs-ns2/1.html#post-285016</ref>, and {{ChrisGendo}} subsequently listed it as one of her favorites in 2011.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223292</ref> NS2's Round 2, "Shion Plays the Game in Public"(2008) is his fourth most popular tennis round, holding a respectable 3,500 views. Moogle's Round 1 for the [[Tennis Staff Multiway]], "What, do you want me to play with your tail?"(2009), features a segment dedicated to ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' as one of a few direct references to theHappyFungus and NS2 as a result of this match taking place.

NS2's rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. theHappyFungus' rounds had previously been lost due to her channel becoming terminated by action from a third party (likely that of Norm Augustinus) in the mid-2010's, but were all restored through the efforts of [[The Great Restoration]]. The match was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in March 2026.

[[CorruptionSound vs. Luioigi]] accounts for two Youtube Poop/Video [[tennis]] matches with the same lineup of players, with the first match taking place between March 6 and April 10, 2011. It was played as a part of {{GameBop}}'s Tennis Shuffle, a mid-2011 event casual-in-scope that was meant to create matches based on randomized lineups in lieu of there being no tournaments currently taking place; at the time the final match of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] was still considered to be indefinitely stalled, and the [[Doubles Cup 2]] was still months out from taking place. Precise data created at the time this match took place was erased due to "The Oz Incident" on the [[YouChew]] forums, which involved the loss of all posts made between February and May 8, 2011.

It was the 19th match completed by CorruptionSound<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/2.html#post-2468041</ref> and the 28th match completed by Luioigi.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1.html#post-934759</ref> Luioigi's Round 2 was the subject of particular praise during the course of this match, with both {{Moogle}} and {{ChrisGendo}} regarding it in the video comments as "one of [his] best"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/@MoogleBoss</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVUHlIHF5LM&lc=UgwiPbho3nzk-G9ITXp4AaABAg</ref>, and {{dani_phantump}} naming it one of their all time favorite YTPs as early as 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyMkHul9HPY&pp=ygUNZGV3IHJldXBsb2Fkcw%3D%3D</ref> {{TheChutley}} additionally praised CorruptionSound's serve and hoped that subsequent rounds of the match would be as adventurous in video resolution and framerate as it was there<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2_a5f2_T2Y&lc=UgwnWvhUsFdFAieNYu14AaABAg&pp=0gcJCSIANpG00pGi</ref>. While initially planned to go for the length of a full standard match, CorruptionSound explained "I lost interest in continuing this match. The stretch resolution idea was not a bad idea, but I can make better visuals on a normal resolution, because it doesn't feel so 'limited'."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/76770-corruptionsound-vs-luioigi/1.html#post-3167273</ref> The match thus ended after only 4 rounds. dani_phantump later sampled Round 4 via video recording in their Round 8 with autumnithink in December 2014.

The second match between these two players took place between May 2 and May 28, 2012. It was played as a part of the Set 2 lineup of the [[Tennis Cup 4]], in which CorruptionSound had initially defeated smokutusofborg, and his original opponent was LeSuperKoffee, who had previously defeated CaptainStringCheese in Set 1.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/103784-corruptionsound-vs-luioigi-done-vote/1.html</ref> The match with the original lineup originally went 3 rounds until LeSuperKoffee momentarily privated every upload on his channel and dropped out of the tournament, subsequently explained by dani_phantump in January 2026 as due to him being "just kind of out of fuel at that point and considered to have met his match".<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-bearkisser.30/post-42062</ref> With these unique circumstances, the match was started over from the serve when Luioigi appeared to replace him, making for the second encounter between the two players. It was Luioigi's only appearance in this tournament.

She came to the consensus of "first three rounds were just awesome, last three rounds i felt were not as good" and that "overall, i feel [CorruptionSound] did steal the show here." She also commented positively on the serve, saying "i would actually really like to volley this serve myself, if that says anything."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/103781-4th-cup-tennis-discussion/1.html#post-4178772</ref> {{AshcrementVII}}'s own consensus, while also siding with CorruptionSound, was "Really the whole match looked nice and pretty with some interesting alterings and expansions ... both [CorruptionSound] and Luioigi came off really strong."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/103781-4th-cup-tennis-discussion/1.html#post-4178778</ref> Luioigi's Round 4 was generally considered the weakest point of the match, and a deciding factor in CorruptionSound achieving victory with 8 points against Luioigi's 6 by raw score, which was adjusted to 4 due to a late penalty. When the tournament had concluded, dani_phantump listed the match as one of their favorites that took place, writing:

"Luioigi's slower style seems to work in almost perfect harmony with the Sound's faster style whenever the two play each other. And their rematch had a very relaxed feel to it. I really loved the sources that were added in this as well as the musical segments that continued throughout the match's course."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/103781-4th-cup-tennis-discussion/1.html#post-4283207</ref>

All rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. The original match was first compiled into a single video for the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in November 2025, and the Tennis Cup 4 rematch was first compiled into a single video for the same account in August 2021.

[[AshcrementVII vs. pikalax1 vs. superkoffee]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between September 9, 2010 and July 20, 2011. Given the informal title of "Quaint ReOccuring Noises", the match was themed around a concept of incrementally stacking repetitive sounds serving as an audio flourish to an otherwise standard match progression, with each player choosing a sound and then adding that sound to each of their responses. Originally slated to be a standard 1v1 between AshcrementVII and superkoffee, who responded "I like the way this sounds. I'm in."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/71936-quaint-reoccuring-noises-vs-superkoffee-pikalax/1.html#post-2939005</ref>, pikalax1 subsequently appeared to make Round 2 without reading the above player confirmations, and the match subsequently was reformatted as a three-way.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/71936-quaint-reoccuring-noises-vs-superkoffee-pikalax/1.html#post-2989431</ref> AshcrementVII's reoccurring sound of choice was Professor Ratigan from ''The Great Mouse Detective''(1986) sniffing pensively, pikalax1's sound of choice was Chimchar from the ''Pokemon'' animated series exclaiming "AWESOME!", and superkoffee's sound of choice was taken from ''Stay Tooned!''(PC, 1996), particularly the in-game parody "Whinefeld" in which he focused on George Costanza's "whines".

It was the seventh match completed by AshcrementVII, the third and final known match completed by pikalax1, and the tenth match completed by superkoffee. It was the earliest match that AshcrementVII started, with his Round 1, "YouTube Poop Tennis: Nostril Flaring (Round 1)"(2010), being the earliest (public) upload on his current channel, carrying over directly from the experimental video style he had spent time developing in his final uploads on original YouTube account AshramVII.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZbg0B6SkJw&list=PLF9p82QHwkI-r2aMmVSn8VoWST3bGbPXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjcExoEI7kg&pp=ygUJQXNoUmFtVklJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oESzw8aQwcY&pp=ygUJQXNocmFtVklJ This playlist and these videos, all acknowledgements from individuals from or within the MUGEN community, are surviving evidences of Ash's online origins from this scene.</ref> The match concept itself was enough to garner attention, with {{ChrisGendo}}, who would become AshcrementVII's first complete match a short time later, remarking of its "pretty odd rules"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/71936-quaint-reoccuring-noises-vs-superkoffee-pikalax/1.html#post-2938960</ref> and {{MrDrunkenFox}} commenting "Hah now that's a weird kind of match. Sounds interesting, though."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/71936-quaint-reoccuring-noises-vs-superkoffee-pikalax/1.html#post-2940094</ref> The match remains dedicated to this theme in some form or another for the match's duration, though becomes somewhat lost in translation due to the "extreme" and "intense" nature the match comes to take on. superkoffee's Round 6, "♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟ℒÅvv♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟ℒÅvv♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟ℒÅvv♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟"(2011) is a dramatic and explosive departure from the pace of the match that preceded it, shifting abruptly to the most dense, elaborate and intricate layering of visual effects ever executed across superkoffee's entire output as an active creator. While koffee himself has subsequently spoken plainly about the fairly rudimentary application of [[Final Cut Pro]] plugins required to create such a visual result, the video was upon upload received by viewers such as PresidentOfJelybeans, who commented something akin to "How in god's name do you people manage to create videos like this". Of subliminal note is a brief moment of silence that first appears at the end of AshcrementVII's Round 4, which subsequently is slightly (perhaps unintentionally) increased in pikalax1's Round 5, and is then comically extended in length to around 20 seconds by this Round 6.

Kurkop, who was long a fan of superkoffee's work, seemed to majorly embrace this round, and it subsequently appeared as a featured element in the climax of his set for Toronto's 2012 VIDEODROME Visual Music and A/V culture convention, his first of multiple appearances at this event, in a percussive YTPMV mega-mix that included Kurkop's own "TackleBox"(2010), "23.11.11"(2011), "Breacon' Da Bacon Into Bacon Bitz"(2010), his entries for superkoffee's Microgame Collab 2(2010), "I WANT YOU TO CHOP MY FUCKIN' HANDS OFF"(2011), "bad videoz"(2010), and certain samples created for his "Something Occurred"(2011) project.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OqDYg6gzQc</ref> superkoffee's Round 9, "I FLARE MY NOSTRILS AS I GET ANOTHER MATCH OVER WITH"(2011) reflected a growing loss of enthusiasm towards tennis in its title, and features a single segment roughly 14 seconds at normal speed in length repeated several times starting from as sped up as possible and gradually incrementing towards as slowed down as possible, with the final instance accounting for about 5 minutes of the video's 7 minute runtime; over half of the total length of the entire match. {{dani_phantump}} has recounted seeing the project file in-person for Round 9 during their first meet up with superkoffee in August 2011. While the other two players of the match are relatively eclipsed by the singular nature of each of koffee's rounds, AshcrementVII's Round 7, "Whirring Whine(field)ing Wonderous"(2011) was used in a serve for an attempted 100-round tennis between dani_phantump and {{GameBop}} in October 2014, as dani_phantump considered it and the other videos used in this serve an early influence on their tennis style.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKBWyedXHqE</ref> In July 2025, following a 7 year absence, AshcrementVII returned to the tennis community via joining the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums and posted a multiserve, "YouTube Poop Tennis : The Nostril Flares Back (Round Won)"(2025), a direct callback to this match's beginnings and, by extension, his own beginnings in tennis entirely.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/open-tennis-new-beginnings.1693/</ref>

superkoffee's account that he played from, LeSuperKoffee, was terminated in 2020 due to a YouTube policy change regarding "hateful or offensive content" that came after it due to his infamous "9/11 tennis match" that took place in 2011, however his account was fully archived by dani_phantump ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved.<ref>https://archive.org/details/ytchannellesuperkoffee</ref> All other rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. The match was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in February 2025.

[[BMATF vs. strong414bad]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/video [[tennis]] match that took place on the "Vanilla" era [[YouChew]] forums between October 21 and December 27, 2007. [[YTP_Tennis#The_first_matches|The 39th tennis match ever played]], conradslater had a direct hand in the conditions that started off the match. strong414bad created a thread offering to tennis a potential player without having a a serve ready, and BMATF took it up, suggesting that strong414bad make a new video for a serve.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/20-tennis-forfeited-and-failed/83540-tennis-strong414bad-vs-bmatf/1.html#post-3406617</ref> Conrad then suggested: "since your both listed [in the youtubepoop.com directory] I suggest the person who has made the least videos [YTP]s chooses a video made by the person who has made the most, thereby paying tribute to that person's hard work".<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/20-tennis-forfeited-and-failed/83540-tennis-strong414bad-vs-bmatf/1.html#post-3406620</ref> He also was in favor of the pairing of these two players, anticipating "this is could well be classic match".<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/20-tennis-forfeited-and-failed/83540-tennis-strong414bad-vs-bmatf/1.html#post-3406708</ref> With strong414bad agreeing to this suggestion, this switched up the initial volleying order as BMATF had made the most videos by far between the two of them, and a Round 2 was posted on October 25 that used BMATF's recently uploaded solo video "Robotnik and the Snakes"(2007) as the serve for the match.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/20-tennis-forfeited-and-failed/83540-tennis-strong414bad-vs-bmatf/1.html#post-3409375</ref> With the serve being around 2 minutes long, the following five rounds are much shorter, averaging around 30-40 seconds each. Sources used include ''The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog'', [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wgSDTABf1I "Ventrilo Harassment" - ORIGINAL Arnold Schwarzenegger Edition], ''Fritz The Cat''(1972)(all three of which were staples throughout BMATF's work in this era), ''Mega Man X4''(PS1, 1997), ''The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross'', ''Donkey Kong 64''(N64, 1999), ''Hatris''(NES, 1990), ''Cool Runnings''(1993), and Dimitri's "Greasy Sweet" music video; the 100% bonus reward from the game ''Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves''(PS2, 2005).

It was the fourth match played by BMATF, as well as his third "completed" game to go for every round intended, and the second match played by strong414bad. strong414bad's rounds are the earliest known example of a performance in a tennis match that utilized [[Windows Movie Maker]] augmented with custom effects, which include for this match PiP, split-screen and color distortion effects. These eventually allow for an intense, "climactic" finish for the match's final round that both display strong414bad's early mastery of the software and the editing potential of [[Windows Movie Maker]] in tennis entirely. He later reflected regarding his final round:

"It was pretty early in the Tennis days- I think this was my second Tennis overall, and I got started right as it was starting- but you couldn't tell it from the videos it turned out. This one was made a couple months after Round 5- I had initially forgot about the Tennis, and then found that nothing I made could justify the wait- but the round that ensued is just great. I have very few videos that I think could actually give people seizures, but this is one of 'em."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmK6xqh6MS4 Video Description</ref>

The opening segment of most rounds consists of quick cuts between the previous round and a newly added source that accumulate in volume from the second to final response, providing for a match with a very simple beginning and a very complex end. In January 2009, BMATF regarded his performance in the match as "WEAK"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/173.html#post-1248302</ref> in comparison, though strong414bad considered BMATF's Round 3, "The Snakes The Way", to be one of his favorite tennis responses: "...he took my previous round and didn't edit it, but just added a clip of Robotnik saying WAY over most of the round. I giggled."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/173.html#post-1248310</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/35515-favorite-response-youve-received-in-a-ytp-tennis-match/1.html#post-1102916</ref> He would later regard BMATF as "a mad genius" who "tennised with the skill of a natural champion" regarding this match.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/221.html#post-1567161</ref>

BMATF lost his original "BigMarioAndTailsFan" account to termination on February 27, 2008<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/91854-the-poop-tennis-caf%C3%A9-come-in-have-a-drink-chat-about-tennis-promote-and-arrange-matches/21.html#post-3733547</ref>, causing the loss of most of his old tennis material for his matches played up to this point, including for this match; for many years his only surviving matches from this period were his games with ELPsteel and [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow|his three-way with UncleChuckTH and Wikiwow]]. strong414bad closed his account in January 2010, but his videos were soon after all reuploaded by his friend hom906sar on the archive account dab414gnorts. Due to Round 6 taking two months to complete in an era where matches generally finished in a concentrated span of time, the thread for BMATF vs. strong414bad was moved to the Tennis: Failed section on the YouChew forums and subsequently lost to obscurity for many years; strong414bad would post Round 6 in the "Showroom" subforum of YouChew's YTP section to compensate for the thread no longer being accessible.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/6-the-old-poop-showroom/88046-the-final-round-in-a-long-forgotten-game-of-tennis/1.html</ref> Additionally, when the dab414gnorts account was built, the playlist for his match with BMATF included reuploads for Round 2 and 4, but not for Round 6, which was still included in the channel's reuploads as an unintentionally isolated video. The match was eventually rediscovered, and BMATF's lost rounds were restored through the efforts of [[The Great Restoration]]. It was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account (initially without Round 6 by accident, due to the misdirected organisation of strong414bad's YouTube archive) in March 2026.

[[Emperor Ing vs. Moogle]] was a [[YouTube Poop tennis]] match played as a part of the [[Tennis Season]], taking place between October 12 and October 20, 2009. It was a part of the Week 12 lineup which consisted of 6-Round "Limited" matches, meaning that source additions for each round were kept strictly at three, round length was limited to between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, and at least 20 seconds of the previous round was required to be used.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/52235-poop-tennis-season-windows-movie-maker-miscreants-win/1.html#post-1808475 the spoiled section of this post a ways down labelled "Game Types"</ref> Of the team match-ups posted for this gameweek, this represented the match-up of Windows Movie Maker Miscreants vs. Team Gilgamesh.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/52235-poop-tennis-season-windows-movie-maker-miscreants-win/1.html#post-1808475</ref>

Due to both players having a penchant for "crude" humor-based YTPs, especially ones involving CD-i, Ing and Moogle both set out in this match to make "bad" responses to each other; visual effect editing was pushed into the background in favor of a match progression that focused mostly on sentence mixing and word replacement, often going for the low hanging fruit in terms of jokes, along with simple and strategically placed repetition of clips and stutters. With Emperor Ing subtitling the match thread as "NINJA CHALLENGE", much of the sources used revolve around the Z-grade Ninja films of Godfrey Ho, with ''Ninja: Silent Assassin''(1987), ''Ninja Destroyer''(1986), ''Ninja Empire''(1990), ''Ninja Squad''(1986) and ''Golden Ninja Warrior''(1986) all seeing usage across the match. ''Link: The Faces of Evil''(1993) is added into the match in Moogle's Round 2, and becomes an essential ingredient for many of the sentence mixes done in the remaining rounds, with "Stuff!"(used in frequent tandem with ''Ninja: Silent Assassin'''s "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR STUFF?") and "Fuck! YOOOOOOOU" being heard in some iteration all the way through to Round 6. Other sources added into the match include a circa 1950's interview with ''Lolita''(1955) author Vladimir Nobokov, an 1873 colored engraving of British poet Lord Byron(1788-1824), the 1835 painting ''Lord Byron in Albanian dress'' by Thomas Phillips(1770-1845), a censored NSFW image of Touhou character Satori Komeiji, ''Megaman Legends'', ''Beauty & Warrior''(2000) and ''Boku No Pico''.

NS2 best described the match as "A battle of wits.

'''{{VidTens443}} vs. {{dani_phantump}}''' is a YouTube Poop/Video [[YTP Tennis|tennis match]] that took place from November 18 to December 8, 2019. Taking place during the third set of the [[Tennis League 5]], the match had been highly anticipated by both of its players.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tennis-league-fiv-cheers-to-razzy/4852/308</ref> While falling under the "[[Wildcard]]" ruleset for the set, the match took a different approach by instead relying on [https://stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html a website implementing Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies] for every round (except round 2). The game was highly regarded for its time by both its players and audience, with some even calling for a "friendly tie" <ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-set-3-vidtens443-vs-dew-done-vote/5640/20</ref> out of respect. {{dani}}'s roster has the following retrospective commentary:

"The one match I played in this tournament that felt like a genuine challenge, and one I very much had to work for to win, which was so satisfying to pull off. VidTens came at me with some extremely specific wildcard restrictions for Round 2, but I otherwise used this match to invent a new variant called "Oblique Strategies Tennis", where rather than choose specific restrictions, these are chosen by an outside system that give no real direct instructions and are meant to be recreated interpretively. For three of the four rounds of this match we operated under these kinds of experimental conditions and I would say that the launch of this variant was a success. I need to actually play another match of this kind though!"<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fu92OzoP3Vabsju1MmXyvU-keTyfPDaaGjNMjUHwA_4/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref>

The match uses a wide variety of sources, a majority of which were supplied by VidTens. Many sources were the result of a tournament-long "progression" where each match VidTens played in would build off the last.<ref>Discord conversation, 4/14/26</ref> Added TV and movies include ''Kukori Es Kotkoda'', the ''Kyorochan'' anime, a commercial for Coors Light, ''Garfield and Friends'', The ''Pokemon'' anime (particularly scenes from ''Diamond and Pearl'' and ''Best Wishes'' involving the Pokemon Riolu, Lucario and Mawile), ''Onegai My Melody'', ''Nichijou'', the pilot for ''A Kitty Bobo Show'' (2001), educational OVA ''Get Going! Godzilland - You Can Count! Counting 1-2-3!'' (1994), ''Limmy's Show'', and ''Unico and the Island of Magic'' (1983). Added YouTube and other web media include GetDustOff's infamous "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9B60dqDAho How to Properly Clean your Gaming Computer]" (2010), the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieYRxXXi1iM announcement] of ''Animal Crossing'''s Isabelle for ''Super Smash Bros Ultimate'' (2018), footage of a shirtless Korean man [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCUXY-oX7V8 smashing his window with a chair], and "[https://youtu.be/sCe-48XpKEI Leafy & Flare: Flash Fire Curse - Part 1]" (2011) by SmashLuigi25, predominantly a scene where an Espeon looks angrily at the camera that recurs throughout the match. Added video games include the BIOS screens for the Game Boy Advance and Phillips CD-i, ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'' (GBA, 2003), ''Mario Teaches Typing 2'' (PC, 1996), and ''Okami'' (Wii, 2006). Daft Punk's "Aerodynamite" (2001) also makes an appearance in the final round, of which one of the final round's restrictions was to have the whole round synced to the song. Many tennis rounds from the current and previous leagues [[Tennis-Tennis|were also added]] as part of the restriction for round 2, including rounds from [[Sploltoen vs. laromande]] ([[TL4]]), {{CorruptionSound}} vs. {{Joltoen}} (TL4), {{GameBop}} vs {{CheeChee}} (TL4), and [[Mapo vs. Razerek (TL5)]].

It was the 67th match completed by VidTens443<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MUOn6Rx8vK7pc9FcYbdmYZ4vnHaGjTu96VviT3yv8Ho/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref> and the 106th match completed by {{dani_phantump}}. The voting would be very close, but dani_phantump would come out on top with 11 votes to 9.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-set-3-vidtens443-vs-dew-done-vote/5640/12</ref> Both players would fare very well for the remainder of the tournament, with VidTens eventually making it to the final match. The match was compiled by VidTens on his "VidTens443 Tennis Matches" account on July 7th, 2020 as part of a yearly wave of match uploads VidTens was involved in.

'''{{VidTens443}} vs. {{dani_phantump}}''' is a YouTube Poop/Video [[YTP Tennis|tennis match]] that took place from November 18 to December 8, 2019. Taking place during the third set of the [[Tennis League 5]], the match had been highly anticipated by both of its players.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tennis-league-fiv-cheers-to-razzy/4852/308</ref> While falling under the "[[Wildcard]]" ruleset for the set, the match took a different, "Very Experimental" approach by instead relying on [https://stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html a website implementing Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies] for every round (except round 2). The game was highly regarded for its time by both its players and audience, with some even calling for a "friendly tie" <ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-set-3-vidtens443-vs-dew-done-vote/5640/20</ref> out of respect. {{dani}}'s roster has the following retrospective commentary:

"The one match I played in this tournament that felt like a genuine challenge, and one I very much had to work for to win, which was so satisfying to pull off. VidTens came at me with some extremely specific wildcard restrictions for Round 2, but I otherwise used this match to invent a new variant called "Oblique Strategies Tennis", where rather than choose specific restrictions, these are chosen by an outside system that give no real direct instructions and are meant to be recreated interpretively. For three of the four rounds of this match we operated under these kinds of experimental conditions and I would say that the launch of this variant was a success. I need to actually play another match of this kind though!"<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fu92OzoP3Vabsju1MmXyvU-keTyfPDaaGjNMjUHwA_4/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref>

The match uses a wide variety of sources, a majority of which were supplied by VidTens. Many sources were the result of a tournament-long "progression" where each match VidTens played in would build off the last.<ref>Discord conversation, 4/14/26</ref> Added TV and movies include ''Kukori Es Kotkoda'', the ''Kyorochan'' anime, a commercial for Coors Light, ''Garfield and Friends'', The ''Pokemon'' anime (particularly scenes from ''Diamond and Pearl'' and ''Best Wishes'' involving the Pokemon Riolu, Lucario and Mawile), ''Onegai My Melody'', ''Nichijou'', the pilot for ''A Kitty Bobo Show'' (2001), educational OVA ''Get Going! Godzilland - You Can Count! Counting 1-2-3!'' (1994), ''Limmy's Show'', and ''Unico and the Island of Magic'' (1983). Added YouTube and other web media include GetDustOff's infamous "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9B60dqDAho How to Properly Clean your Gaming Computer]" (2010), the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieYRxXXi1iM announcement] of ''Animal Crossing'''s Isabelle for ''Super Smash Bros Ultimate'' (2018), footage of a shirtless Korean man [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCUXY-oX7V8 smashing his window with a chair], and "[https://youtu.be/sCe-48XpKEI Leafy & Flare: Flash Fire Curse - Part 1]" (2011) by SmashLuigi25, predominantly a scene where an Espeon looks angrily at the camera that recurs throughout the match. Added video games include the BIOS screens for the Game Boy Advance and Phillips CD-i, ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'' (GBA, 2003), ''Mario Teaches Typing 2'' (PC, 1996), and ''Okami'' (Wii, 2006). Daft Punk's "Aerodynamite" (2001) also makes an appearance in the final round, of which one of the final round's restrictions was to have the whole round synced to the song. Many tennis rounds from the current and previous leagues [[Tennis-Tennis|were also added]] as part of the restriction for round 2, including rounds from [[Sploltoen vs. laromande]] ([[TL4]]), {{CorruptionSound}} vs. {{Joltoen}} (TL4), {{GameBop}} vs {{CheeChee}} (TL4), and [[Mapo vs. Razerek (TL5)]].

It was the 67th match completed by VidTens443<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MUOn6Rx8vK7pc9FcYbdmYZ4vnHaGjTu96VviT3yv8Ho/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref> and the 106th match completed by {{dani_phantump}}. The voting would be very close, but dani_phantump would come out on top with 11 votes to 9.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-set-3-vidtens443-vs-dew-done-vote/5640/12</ref> Both players would fare very well for the remainder of the tournament, with VidTens eventually making it to the final match. The match was compiled by VidTens on his "VidTens443 Tennis Matches" account on July 7th, 2020 as part of a yearly wave of match uploads VidTens was involved in.
