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]], {{Metroid998}} returned after having last participated in the [[Doubles Cup 4]], and {{trepmaws}} and {{AshcrementVII}} both returned after having last participated in the [[Doubles Cup 3]], the former having previously missed his chance to join the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]].

Returned early tennis figures {{strong414bad}} and Furnessly were also among those who actively spectated the event as it progressed, writing feedback about each match at their conclusions.

=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.

[[Source Interaction]] refers to the wide-ranging and flexible technique of different sources in a [[video tennis]] match "interacting" with each other in various ways. This can be done through either word association, direct conversational exchange, an opinionated response to another, implied shared space, implied mutual expressions, or physical synchronicity. This is a technique that has been widespread in [[Youtube Poop]] entirely since its earliest years and is not limited to a single style of playing tennis, though it is most often seen in matches driven largely by its sources rather than its editing. This technique carries directly over from pre-YTP video art in underground works such as the TV Carnage film ''A Sore For Sighted Eyes''(2007), the Pat Vamos film ''KRUNNK SHUTTLE''(2006), and ''Animal Charm: Golden Digest''(1996).

The earliest instance of source interaction in tennis occurred in the very first moment of the very first tennis match. In Round 1 of [[conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]](2007), Toad from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' points forward and exclaims, “There’s smoke signals!” before the video cuts to a woman smoking a cigarette from a 1970’s fetish video based around this act, implying that this is what Toad is pointing at. Luigi is subsequently implied to have been observing this with a somewhat fixated expression.

=Variations=

The simplest form of source interaction comes in the form of rounds that cut between sources in such a way that implies a shared relation, without any other flourishes to convey it. Sometimes this is done entirely with added sources, but is most effective when done using some part of the previous round interacting with a new addition, or two different parts of the previous round being edited to interact with themselves. This is not to be equated with a [[word replacement]] variation on [[sentence mixing]], but rather to create a unique space where characters from radically different pieces of media share some kind of connection with each other, most often humorous.

===Examples===

*In Round 6 of [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]](2008), the on-screen avatar of Dr. Kawashima from ''Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!''(DS, 2005) asks, "What time was it on that clock?". A clip from the opening moments to ''Metal Gear Solid''(PS1, 1998) answers this with "TWO", taken from the phrase "TWO MISSION OBJECTIVES".

*In Round 3 of [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]](2008), a character asks the crew of the ''Outlaw Star'' if they "got any money"; Kintaro from ''Golden Boy'' (from RAKninja's Round 2) answers by exclaiming "THOUSAND DOLLARS!".

*[[Moogle vs. theHappyFungus]](2008) is greatly defined by its use of source interactions themed around gun violence. From Round 3 onward, characters are often depicted as shooting at or being shot by each other, culminating in a climactic sequence in Round 6 where characters from across the match fire their weapons into extra characters from ''Rambo''(2008).

*In Round 4 of [[NS2 vs. RAKninja]](2009), the previous round and added material is all edited in synchronisation to audio from a theatrical trailer for the film ''Willow''(1988). An example of the effect this creates is during this dialogue: "A TIME WHEN A CHILD COULD TIP THE BALANCE BETWEEN GOOD (while showing footage of "Macho Man" Randy Savage) AND OF EVIL (while showing footage of Ben Bernanke)." These characters are also implied to be acting out their respective parts in the chosen film through the edits that take place.

[[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]] was a [[Youtube Poop Tennis]] match that took place between December 6 and December 14, 2007. Rabbit desired to play Conrad himself as soon as he had seen and reviewed the first tennis match between him and Misselaineous10, the latter whom he also would have been concurrently playing at the time of this match's beginning in the [[Tennis League 1]]. The loose rules laid out were "48 hour turnover, 6 rounds, unless we want to go for more, Not really a hell of a lot more than that..."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref> Sources added include ''No More Heroes''(Wii, 2007)<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref> a very early use of Chad Warden, ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job!'', a commercial for French Natural Juice, "A video comparing the showering habits of men and women", "I'm listening to Steriod Maximus whilst working",<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3504531</ref>, the opening to ''Final Fantasy X-2''(PS2, 2003), ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''(PS2, 2001), the intro to ''Lost'', the music video for "Stupid Girls"(2006) by P!NK, ''Star Wars Episode II: Revenge of the Sith''(2005), ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope''(1977), ''Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back''(1980), ''Super Mario Bros.''(1993), various clips of deliberate fetish content, the song "Canaries In The Mineshaft" by Manorexia, the song "Across the Universe"(1998) as covered by Fiona Apple, and footage of Conrad Slater himself as taken from uploads such as "Sonrad Clater"(2007) and a homemade short film starring him titled ''Blood Red''(2007).<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref>

It was the seventh match played by RabbitSnore and the sixth match played by conradslater<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfiMJj7wWAXQ9DTNJpBmktHPyWC98vr19 All except his final match with Tentor521 fully survives compiled in this playlist, in chronological order.</ref>. A match between the then-future co-leader and the then-current leader/owner of the [[YouChew forums]], between Tennis's first [[tennis staff|"Tennis Fuck"]] and its inventor, it very quickly became a match enshrined as legendary and immensely influential due to the storied history of its players in regards to the early YTP community, the wild and at times unrestrained content of and the unique approach taken with each response, the longform literary content of the video descriptions of each round, and for being a very early match to go all the way to 9 rounds. In discussing the match in 2026, Furnessly added some context for this era of YouTube in which the match was played, referring to its frequent uses of fetish content:

"In the early days of YouTube, it was a completely different time. You got fetish videos, no age restrictions, no removals, something you can't believe now.

While Conrad's tennis material was privated for many years before being made public again in late 2025 in anticipation of the documentary "The World of Youtube Poop" by Clique Here, in which he is prominently featured, his rounds for this match remain private presumably because of their content. They were however already reuploaded on [[TennisFacksJr]] in October 2024 about a year before his reappearance. RabbitSnore's rounds became lost when his account vanished from YouTube in October 2019, and remained in that status for seven years until they were all rediscovered in hard copy archives originally made by {{Foghorn Scorpio}}. This makes for the second full match played by RabbitSnore to survive intact as of the present day, along with [[strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore]](2008).

[[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]] was a [[Youtube Poop Tennis]] match that took place between December 6 and December 14, 2007. Rabbit desired to play Conrad himself as soon as he had seen and reviewed the first tennis match between him and Misselaineous10, the latter whom he also would have been concurrently playing at the time of this match's beginning in the [[Tennis League 1]]. The loose rules laid out were "48 hour turnover, 6 rounds, unless we want to go for more, Not really a hell of a lot more than that..."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref> Sources added include ''No More Heroes''(Wii, 2007)<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref> a very early use of Chad Warden, ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job!'', a commercial for French Natural Juice, "A video comparing the showering habits of men and women", "I'm listening to Steriod Maximus whilst working",<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3504531</ref>, the opening to ''Final Fantasy X-2''(PS2, 2003), ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''(PS2, 2001), the intro to ''Lost'', the music video for "Stupid Girls"(2006) by P!NK, ''Star Wars Episode II: Revenge of the Sith''(2005), ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope''(1977), ''Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back''(1980), ''Super Mario Bros.''(1993), various clips of deliberate fetish content, the song "Canaries In The Mineshaft" by Manorexia, the song "Across the Universe"(1998) as covered by Fiona Apple, and footage of Conrad Slater himself as taken from uploads such as "Sonrad Clater"(2007) and a homemade short film starring him titled ''Blood Red''(2007).<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref>

It was the seventh match played by RabbitSnore and the sixth match played by conradslater<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfiMJj7wWAXQ9DTNJpBmktHPyWC98vr19 All except his final match with Tentor521 fully survives compiled in this playlist, in chronological order.</ref>. A match between the then-future co-leader and the then-current leader/owner of the [[YouChew forums]], between Tennis's first [[tennis staff|"Tennis Fuck"]] and its inventor, it very quickly became a match enshrined as legendary and immensely influential due to the storied history of its players in regards to the early YTP community, the wild and at times unrestrained content of and the unique approach taken with each response, the longform literary content of the video descriptions of each round, and for being a very early match to go all the way to 9 rounds. In discussing the match in 2026, Furnessly added some context for this era of YouTube in which the match was played, referring to its frequent uses of fetish content:

"In the early days of YouTube, it was a completely different time. You got fetish videos, no age restrictions, no removals, something you can't believe now. I am not joking, there were more videos of women farting than there were of YTP (as in the video remixes later known as YTP, SuperYoshi, etc, I think YTP was part of the shift on YouTube regarding content). All publicly there."<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-youre-crrrrrrrraaaaaaaaazy-hamboogeuuuurreee-uncontrollable-sobbing.30/post-52021</ref>

The match was intended to go to Round 10, but conradslater declared the match completed when his final turn came around, considering RabbitSnore's Round 9, "Syphozoa Synthesis"(2007), to be an appropriate finale to the match.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3528278</ref> RabbitSnore vs. conradslater is tremendously experimental and challenging even for its era, with the final two rounds taking up about 10 minutes of the 25 minute runtime, making for easily the longest match to be played in the first months of tennis as a whole. Most rounds are crafted through longform, gradual edits to the material, with Rabbit's rounds in particular opting for PiP framing for multiple segments that are then repeated in unison for minutes at a time. Conrad's Round 6 creates the largest pivot in direction the match takes by being made largely up of added footage, with much of the previous round being contained within an introductory montage. The final three rounds all contain footage of Shigeru Miyamoto at the 2005 E3 showcase for the Nintendo Wii, in which he asks to the audience in introducing ''Wii Sports''(Wii, 2006), "Tennis, anyone?" The final round consists of a slow moving tapestry of every previous round in the match reused -- in reference to the long, surreal descriptions uploaded with each round, Rabbit remarked of this round "I think I successfully saddled the jellyfish, but I'll let each person decide that for him- or herself."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3519880</ref>

RabbitSnore subsequently considered this match in high regard, referring to it as one of his proudest moments and one the best, most challenging and extreme matches he ever played. In his description for the match's playlist on his YouTube channel, RabbitSnore wrote that it was "Considered by many to be a groundbreaking match, called 'one of the most amazing things he had ever seen' by PapaGonzales"<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080505233619/ca.youtube.com/user/RabbitSnore</ref>.

The loose rules laid out were "48 hour turnover, 6 rounds, unless we want to go for more, Not really a hell of a lot more than that..."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref> Sources added include ''No More Heroes''(Wii, 2007)<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref> a very early use of Chad Warden, ''Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job!'', a commercial for French Natural Juice, "A video comparing the showering habits of men and women", "I'm listening to Steriod Maximus whilst working",<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3504531</ref>, the opening to ''Final Fantasy X-2''(PS2, 2003), ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''(PS2, 2001), the intro to ''Lost'', the music video for "Stupid Girls"(2006) by P!NK, ''Star Wars Episode II: Revenge of the Sith''(2005), ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope''(1977), ''Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back''(1980), ''Super Mario Bros.''(1993), various clips of deliberate fetish content, the song "Canaries In The Mineshaft" by Manorexia, the song "Across the Universe"(1998) as covered by Fiona Apple, and footage of Conrad Slater himself as taken from uploads such as "Sonrad Clater"(2007) and a homemade short film starring him titled ''Blood Red''(2007).<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/1.html#post-3499744</ref>

It was the seventh match played by RabbitSnore and the sixth match played by conradslater<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfiMJj7wWAXQ9DTNJpBmktHPyWC98vr19 All except his final match with Tentor521 fully survives compiled in this playlist, in chronological order.</ref>. A match between the then-future co-leader and the then-current leader/owner of the [[YouChew forums]], between Tennis's first [[tennis staff|"Tennis Fuck"]] and its inventor, it very quickly became a match enshrined as legendary and immensely influential due to the storied history of its players in regards to the early YTP community, the wild and at times unrestrained content of and the unique approach taken with each response, the longform literary content of the video descriptions of each round, and for being a very early match to go all the way to 9 rounds. In discussing the match in 2026, Furnessly added some context for this era of YouTube in which the match was played, referring to its frequent uses of fetish content:

"In the early days of YouTube, it was a completely different time. You got fetish videos, no age restrictions, no removals, something you can't believe now. I am not joking, there were more videos of women farting than there were of YTP (as in the video remixes later known as YTP, SuperYoshi, etc, I think YTP was part of the shift on YouTube regarding content). All publicly there."<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-youre-crrrrrrrraaaaaaaaazy-hamboogeuuuurreee-uncontrollable-sobbing.30/post-52021</ref>

The match was intended to go to Round 10, but conradslater declared the match completed when his final turn came around, considering RabbitSnore's Round 9, "Syphozoa Synthesis"(2007), to be an appropriate finale to the match.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3528278</ref> The match is tremendously experimental and challenging even for its era, with the final two rounds taking up about 10 minutes of the 25 minute runtime, making for easily the longest match to be played in the first months of tennis as a whole. Most rounds are crafted through longform, gradual edits to the material, with Rabbit's rounds in particular opting for PiP framing for multiple segments that are then repeated in unison for minutes at a time. Conrad's Round 6 creates the largest pivot in direction the match takes by being made largely up of added footage, with much of the previous round being contained within an introductory montage. The final three rounds all contain footage of Shigeru Miyamoto at the 2005 E3 showcase for the Nintendo Wii, in which he asks to the audience in introducing ''Wii Sports''(Wii, 2006), "Tennis, anyone?" The final round consists of a slow moving tapestry of every previous round in the match reused -- in reference to the long, surreal descriptions uploaded with each round, Rabbit remarked of this round "I think I successfully saddled the jellyfish, but I'll let each person decide that for him- or herself."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3519880</ref>

RabbitSnore subsequently considered this match in high regard, referring to it as one of his proudest moments and one the best, most challenging and extreme matches he ever played. In his description for the match's playlist on his YouTube channel, RabbitSnore wrote that it was "Considered by many to be a groundbreaking match, called 'one of the most amazing things he had ever seen' by PapaGonzales"<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080505233619/ca.youtube.com/user/RabbitSnore</ref>. TurkeyBeef regarded the match upon its conclusion as "Certainly great, but certainly creepy as well."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3536312</ref> {{Crash2991}}, upon first seeing the match, remarked "I was expecting ear rape and extreme stutters, but I was left jaw-dropped. That was beautiful."<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/4.html#post-3670012</ref> The match was cited multiple times in the early Tennis Cafe threads as part of an early canon of great matches used in the deeper discussions about tennis that were developing, often alongside [[conradslater vs. Miss10]](2007) and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]](2007). Speaking about the match in March 2008, Crash2991 explained "It wasn't like most tennis matches. It wasn't a crazy (as in stutters ear rape). It was a more thought out type of thing"<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/33.html#post-3757723</ref>, signifying the match as one of the earliest templates of tennis being approached as less of an offshoot of standard YTP and more as an art in its own right. RabbitSnore additionally reflected, "I suppose my match with Conrad showed some of the intricacies of experimenting with material, extremism, varied styles, and 'a wetting of the feet in the waters of AMV.'"<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/33.html#post-3757717</ref> The match was soon after listed among the "Top 5 Good Tennis games to learn from" in RabbitSnore's early tennis document ''The Recreational Guide to [YTP] Tennis''<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75999-a-recreational-guide-to-poop-tennis/1.html</ref>, and was one of 25 matches added to [[YouChew]]'s old Tennis: Archives forum to preserve important matches from the "Vanilla" era forums in April 2008. {{ChrisGendo}} additionally listed the match as among her favorites in 2011.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223292</ref> It was potentially the first match to have been seen by {{Moogle}}.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/121.html#post-839789</ref>

While Conrad's tennis material was privated for many years before being made public again in late 2025 in anticipation of the documentary "The World of Youtube Poop" by Clique Here, in which he is prominently featured, his rounds for this match remain private presumably because of their content. They were however already reuploaded on [[TennisFacksJr]] in October 2024 about a year before his reappearance. RabbitSnore's rounds became lost when his account vanished from YouTube in October 2019, and remained in that status for seven years until they were all rediscovered in hard copy archives originally made by {{Foghorn Scorpio}}. This makes for the second full match played by RabbitSnore to survive intact as of the present day, along with [[strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore]](2008). His rounds were subsequently reuploaded to [[TennisFacksJr]], and the match was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in August 2026.

Description: ''"Having dipped his toes into the water of AMV river Rabbitsnore somehow mangaed to keep the mechandise dry. Perhaps it was in an inflated plastic bag like you see in Indian Jones style movies - of the sort in which a woman complains and gets here shirt (which has been tied off above her mid drift) wet and the stubble chinned hero has to use a cigarette to burn off a leach.

''So despite all this care I've now taken the merchandise and drowned it into the river of AMV. The music is Canaries in the Mineshaft by Manorexia but there is still some residual sound left over (at 20x speed) plus a whoel bunch of layering and big boost to the colour and all the life bleeds out.

''If there is to be a round 9 (which I kind of hope so) then it will have to be cannibalising the living flesh rather than trying to using the previous skeleton to graft on new material - to do that would be like try to fit a saddle onto a jelly fish."''<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/32-tennis-archives/351-tennis-archive-rabbitsnore-vs-conradslater/1.html#post-143246 Quoted verbatim by {{NS2}}</ref>

==Round 9==
'''"Syphozoa Synthesis" by RabbitSnore'''

<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdEMWRIERM8</youtube>

Description: ''""In the previous round's description, Conrad said that I would have to cannibalize the living flesh of the match rather than graft new material onto the established skeleton, as that would be like trying to fit a saddle on a jellyfish. Partly out of pride and partly out of a sense of pure fun in challenge, I took it upon myself to do just that: fit a saddle on a jellyfish, then ride it into the sunset.

''Two rounds ago, I somehow kept the puppy of the match safe from the hurtful punk kids of AMV who would put the puppy in a plastic bag and beat it against a tree. When I handed the puppy over to Conrad for the following round, he opted to throw the puppy as far and hard as he could into oncoming traffic, and then he dared me to try and keep it alive, thinking that there was almost no way for it to be done. So either I could go back to the pet shop and get a new puppy that looked sort of the same, like what Conrad did in round five, or I could attempt CPR on a small puppy that had been crushed under the wheels of a tractor trailer.

''I think I have to some degree, managed to keep that puppy barely alive, clinging to its existence, though I have brought back all the previous puppies of the past rounds to visit it during this tough time.

''So it comes back to the jellyfish: I'll someone else decide whether I have accomplished the task of finding a suitable saddle for the jellyfish, one which would allow me to ride triumphantly into the sunrise. I'm satisfied with the saddle I've put on this scyphozoan.

''When Conrad goes to make round ten, he says that he knows exactly what he's going to do and that it will be funny. Considering what he managed to pull off in the sixth round, I imagine it will be hilarious, though I would love to see him at least attempt to reign this wild jellyfish, somewhere amongst the assured madness of round ten."''<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/32-tennis-archives/351-tennis-archive-rabbitsnore-vs-conradslater/1.html#post-143259 Quoted verbatim by {{NS2}}.

[[NS2 vs. RAKninja]] was a [[Youtube Poop Tennis]] match played between August 18 and October 9, 2009. Originally advertised as "GeneratorSN vs. RAKninja", with GeneratorSN initially jokingly spoken of as if to be an unknown figure, RAKninja started the initial match thread specifying "a longtime fan of mine from youtube challenged me, and i had to accept."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2051321</ref> It was the second of seven matches that {{NS2}} played on the '''GeneratorSN''' account, and the first match he played on that account in its entirety. He would subsequently announce at the match's conclusion this channel as his new home on YouTube.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2220436</ref>

Initially a match themed around wrestling footage for its first third, including Hulk Hogan and Genichiro Tenriyu's December 12, 1991 NJPW match and other footage of The Iron Sheik and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, the match makes a very notable pivot at Round 3, shifting focus to be themed around minimally edited footage of classic 80s film trailers. These include ''Cinema Paradiso''(1988) by Giuseppe Tornatore, ''Willow''(1988) by Ron Howard, and ''Amadeus''(1984) by Miloš Forman. ''Zardoz''(1974) dominates the match's final round, being frequently used as a source by RAKninja in this era. Other sources to appear in the match include ''Citizen Kane''(1941), ''Manos: The Hands of Fate''(1966), ''Psych'', C-SPAN footage of then-Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke, "Because"(1988) and "Romantic City"(1991) by T-SQUARE, "The Message"(1982) by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, "Head"(1980) by Prince, the W. Trytel composition "Saw Theme"(1961), the Fredric Bayco composition "Inferno", the Laurie Johnson compositions "Happy-Go-Lively" and "Blood in the Gutter", the Claude Debussy composition "Clair de Lune"(1905) as arranged by Helmuth Brandenburg and performed by the Deutches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and images of Miles Davis, Peter Jackson("FROM THE CREATOR OF STAR WARS"), Paul Reubens' 1991 mugshot ("AND THE DIRECTOR OF COCOON"), Bruce Willis, and the album cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's 1983 album ''Naughty Boys''.

It was the 21st match completed by NS2<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934740</ref> and the 24th match completed by RAKninja.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934765 With RAK's later matches on his roster achieving some resolving chronology, this is a handful of matches easier to notate the order of completion.</ref> This was also among the matches played by RAK to forgo his notorious "source-cutting" style from 2009 onward, indicating that this was a match where he genuinely enjoyed the material he was working with in his responses. The match was hailed by the community at the time as one of the best 1v1 tennis matches ever played, and to this day is still held in high regard by aficionados of classic tennis matches. The final round of the match, RAKninja's "NS2 IS MY NINJA BRO", was repeatedly cited by its creator as the best video he ever made for years after. Emperor Ing additionally praised the final round as being "as beautiful as a Koridian birdsong"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2222675</ref>, and it was also praised by {{MycroProcessor}} as "amazingly creepy and unique", calling it their "new favorite video by RAK"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2220793</ref>. {{strong414bad}}, upon watching the match in full, considered it "probably my favorite ever"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2231013</ref>. NS2 commended it by saying:

"Incredible, Rak, you continue to blow my mind again and again, and again, and again, with each video you make. You innovate and inspire with your techniques and your new ways of taking familiar things and making them unfamiliar.

This match has been an honor and a cornerstone for the future of my work. I feel that we can really get a glimpse into the makers through the match, their ideals, and other cheesy stuff I always say when I try to analyze a match.

[[NS2 vs. RAKninja]] was a [[Youtube Poop Tennis]] match played between August 18 and October 9, 2009. Originally advertised as "GeneratorSN vs. RAKninja", with GeneratorSN initially jokingly spoken of as if to be an unknown figure, RAKninja started the initial match thread specifying "a longtime fan of mine from youtube challenged me, and i had to accept."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2051321</ref> It was the second of seven matches that {{NS2}} played on the '''GeneratorSN''' account, and the first match he played on that account in its entirety. He would subsequently announce at the match's conclusion this channel as his new home on YouTube.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2220436</ref>

Initially a match themed around wrestling footage for its first third, including Hulk Hogan and Genichiro Tenriyu's December 12, 1991 NJPW match and other footage of The Iron Sheik and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, the match makes a very notable pivot at Round 3, shifting focus to be themed around minimally edited footage of classic 80s film trailers. These include ''Cinema Paradiso''(1988) by Giuseppe Tornatore, ''Willow''(1988) by Ron Howard, and ''Amadeus''(1984) by Miloš Forman. ''Zardoz''(1974) dominates the match's final round, being frequently used as a source by RAKninja in this era. Other sources to appear in the match include ''Citizen Kane''(1941), ''Manos: The Hands of Fate''(1966), ''Psych'', C-SPAN footage of then-Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke, the T-SQUARE songs "Because"(1988) and "Romantic City"(1991), the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five song "The Message"(1982), the Prince song "Head"(1980), the W. Trytel composition "Saw Theme"(1961), the Fredric Bayco composition "Inferno", the Laurie Johnson compositions "Happy-Go-Lively" and "Blood in the Gutter", the Claude Debussy composition "Clair de Lune"(1905) as arranged by Helmuth Brandenburg and performed by the Deutches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and images of Miles Davis, Peter Jackson("FROM THE CREATOR OF STAR WARS"), Paul Reubens' 1991 mugshot ("AND THE DIRECTOR OF COCOON"), Bruce Willis, and the album cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's 1983 album ''Naughty Boys''.

It was the 21st match completed by NS2<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934740</ref> and the 24th match completed by RAKninja.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934765 With RAK's later matches on his roster achieving some resolving chronology, this is a handful of matches easier to notate the order of completion.</ref> This was also among the matches played by RAK to forgo his notorious "source-cutting" style from 2009 onward, indicating that this was a match where he genuinely enjoyed the material he was working with in his responses. The match was hailed by the community at the time as one of the best 1v1 tennis matches ever played, and to this day is still held in high regard by aficionados of classic tennis matches. The final round of the match, RAKninja's "NS2 IS MY NINJA BRO", was repeatedly cited by its creator as the best video he ever made for years after. Emperor Ing additionally praised the final round as being "as beautiful as a Koridian birdsong"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2222675</ref>, and it was also praised by MycroProcessor as "amazingly creepy and unique", calling it their "new favorite video by RAK"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2220793</ref>. strong414bad, upon watching the match in full, considered it "probably my favorite ever"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2231013</ref>. NS2 commended it by saying:

"Incredible, Rak, you continue to blow my mind again and again, and again, and again, with each video you make. You innovate and inspire with your techniques and your new ways of taking familiar things and making them unfamiliar.

This match has been an honor and a cornerstone for the future of my work. I feel that we can really get a glimpse into the makers through the match, their ideals, and other cheesy stuff I always say when I try to analyze a match.

Thank you."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/56635-generatorsn-ns2-vs-rakninja/1#post-2220436</ref>

All rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though RAK's rounds briefly vanished off of YouTube in the early 2010s due to being privated. It was first compiled into a single video on the shared account "{{maniafax}}" in December 2019.

[[RAKninja vs. RetroTheRaccoon]] was a YouTube Poop/Video tennis match that took place between November 20, 2008 and June 22, 2009. RetroTheRacoon had only recently appeared as a complete unknown in the community, having enticed {{Crash2991}} into what became Retro's first tennis match, and immediately made an impression on other community regulars of the time such as {{RabbitSnore}} and {{NS2}} for his immediate grasp on tennis, along with his style of humor and above-average source preferences that leaned into classic anime. RAKninja would become his next challenger, saying "watching what he did with crash convinced me of his talent, so much so i accepted the match and served it a day or two earlier than i considered myself ready."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/33467-rakninja-vs-retro-the-raccoon/1#post-1095341</ref>

The match is remembered largely for its usage of ''Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo'', the series that RAK had previously used to create the "ROBOT BUNNY BOOBIES" community meme in his match with Futures Passed. With this being used again for the serve (including the above meme making a second appearance), RAK takes the opportunity to make a new element from the series the main feature of the match: the very beginning of its opening titles, of which the first words are the english-spoken "Love is Here." This phrase would become used in different contexts for every single round, and served to be the origin of what became an enduring motto of the tennis community entirely up into the present day. Other sources used in the match include ''Death Note'', ''Robotech: The Macross Saga''(Episode 1 - "Booby Trap"(1985)), ''Genesis Climber MOSPEADA'', ''Tenchi Muyo'', and the 1980 ''Astro Boy'' series.

It was the 15th match completed by RAKninja<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934765 RAK's roster is incredibly disorganized, but before this match, his match chronology roughly goes mmichaelson, theHappyFungus, Crash2991, ophios, Bowserqueen, WowComics, Zevifa, FuturesPassed, McMANGOS + WowComics(with Moogle) Pullahoko, Aesaun + AjaxCubed(with Moogle), HighVoltageChrist, Emperor Ing and quax94. </ref>. His Round 1, "DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE TANOOKI TRANSFORMER?"(2008) is the 18th most popular video on his channel and his fourth most popular tennis round, having achieved over 2,700 views to date.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xWI5N_Wpb8</ref> During the six month wait that eventually yielded RetroTheRacoon's final round, the match accumulated tremendous acclaim from many of the other contemporary members of the [[tennis staff]], and most expressed great anticipation for how Retro would conclude the match. RabbitSnore was influenced by the match's Round 2 in making "SOLID SNAKE and the Five Pillars of Islam"(2008), his Round 1 with NS2<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/33467-rakninja-vs-retro-the-raccoon/1#post-1025235</ref>, and NS2 himself wrote "I am blown away by this match. I favorited Round 2 and 3, and last night I watched Round 2 on loop over and over."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/33467-rakninja-vs-retro-the-raccoon/1#post-1111775</ref> Emperor Ing also praised the match saying "Round 4 is one of the better [YTP]s I have seen, and as such, I favorite'd it. That's not to say this is one damn amazing match, and a funny one at that."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/33467-rakninja-vs-retro-the-raccoon/1#post-1094562</ref> MycroProcessor also praised the match upon Round 6 finally being uploaded, writing their only commentary for this round.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/33467-rakninja-vs-retro-the-raccoon/1#post-1817963</ref>.

RetroTheRacoon's rounds of this match, three of the only 7 videos he apparently ever made, were considered lost for many years before being rediscovered again in a mass video archive linked on the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums. Both of RetroTheRacoon's matches with RAKninja and Crash2991 were compiled for the first time into single videos on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in August 2025.

[[Emperor Ing vs. RAKninja]] is a YouTube Poop [[Tennis]] match that took place between March 28 and May 6, 2009. Known by its Emperor Ing-bestowed title of "RED WIZARD RONDO: BATTLE FOR THE NINJA EMPIRE" and more simply "'''RED WIZARD RONDO'''", it was the 6th match to be completed by Ing and the 13th match to be completed by RAKninja, and one of the matches that helped to firmly establish Ing as being considered an unofficial member of the [[tennis staff]]. RAK and Ing had first expressed the mutual desire to play each other as early as late 2008, around the time of [[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus|Ing's match with theHappyFungus]], and subsequently teased through multiple posts in the Tennis Cafe for the next several months about the nature of their eventual tennis battle. Earlier working titles Ing and RAK had for this match were "Red Wizard Showdown", "Clash of the Titans", and "Red Wizard Rondo at Red-Blood Creek! The RAKman squares off against Rifle-Shot Ing in the showdown of the century! Don't miss this clash of the titans on next week's episode!"

With both players having many overlapping tastes in media, this match serves to fully explore and indulge in their intersecting love of Godfrey Ho's "Ninja" filmography (making this the second match after RAK's previous "unadvertised" game with HighVoltageChrist to be themed around the films) and 70s/80s animated science fiction/fantasy. The match's introductory stage is unique; While being advertised as 8 rounds long, the videos listed as Rounds 1 and 2 are actually both a distinct "serve" made by each player to set the stage for the match's recurring themes, each focusing on a source with a different "red wizard". In Emperor Ing's video, "Red Wizard Rondo: ManSaru's Calamity", he focuses on Saruman The White from Ralph Bakshi's ''The Lord of the Rings''(1978), who in this adaptation is infamously clad all in red despite his name; Ing refers to him throughout this match with the full title of "ManSaru of Many Colors". In RAKninja's video, "RED WIZARD RONDO: MARA AL UTHA'S CATACLYSM", he focuses on ''The Transformers''(G1) Season 3 episode "Madman's Paradise"(1986), the focus of which is a mysterious sorcerer in another dimension known as Mara-Al-Utha, who directly refers to himself as The Red Wizard. Both of these videos are edited by Ing to create the match's official "serve", which is also respectively referred to as Round 3 of the full series of videos. With these acting as the match's central pieces, select Godfrey Ho films are added that include the trailer for ''Rage of a Ninja''(1988), selections from ''Ninja Squad''(1986), and ''Ninja Commandments''(1987), and the Don Kong film ''Silver Dragon Ninja''(1987).

{{RAKninja}}'s notoriously glitchy and corrupted final two rounds are the product of him switching video downloaders mid match, resulting in substantial artifacting that served to function as an additional editing response to Ing's rounds during the second half. This was among the matches played by RAK to forgo his notorious "source-cutting" style from 2009 onward, indicating that this was a match where he genuinely enjoyed the material he was working with in his responses. While the full match has never received much attention, it was greatly enjoyed between its two participants and is considered something of a hidden gem; {{strong414bad}} at the match's conclusion praised it as "truly a match to be remembered for the ages". In 2013, {{strong414bad}} would upload his last video until July 2026, a second round of the [[Tennis Staff Multi Way]], in which the thumbnail for {{RAKninja}}'s "RED WIZARD RONDO: NINJA POWER KILLED LILLY" would make a small cameo appearance towards the end. 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 the Ralph Bakshi ''Lord of the Rings'' and to the Godfrey Ho community favorite ''Ninja: Silent Assassin''(1987) as one of a few direct references to RAKninja and Emperor Ing as a result of this match taking place.

All rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though RAKninja's rounds were privated for a time in the early 2010s. It was first compiled as a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in December 2019, signifying its small but enduring impact on the subsequent community.

{{RAKninja}}'s notoriously glitchy and corrupted final two rounds are the product of him switching video downloaders mid match, resulting in substantial artifacting that served to function as an additional editing response to Ing's rounds during the second half. This was among the matches played by RAK to forgo his notorious "source-cutting" style, indicating that this was a match where he genuinely enjoyed the material he was working with in his responses. While the full match has never received much attention, it was greatly enjoyed between its two participants and is considered something of a hidden gem; {{strong414bad}} at the match's conclusion praised it as "truly a match to be remembered for the ages". In 2013, {{strong414bad}} would upload his last video until July 2026, a second round of the [[Tennis Staff Multi Way]], in which the thumbnail for {{RAKninja}}'s "RED WIZARD RONDO: NINJA POWER KILLED LILLY" would make a small cameo appearance towards the end. 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 the Ralph Bakshi ''Lord of the Rings'' and to the Godfrey Ho community favorite ''Ninja: Silent Assassin''(1987) as one of a few direct references to RAKninja and Emperor Ing as a result of this match taking place.

All rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though RAKninja's rounds were privated for a time in the early 2010s. It was first compiled as a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in December 2019, signifying its small but enduring impact on the subsequent community.

''On one side, the insidious ManSaru of Many Colors, including Red, shores up defenses in Orthanc and prepares an all out assault against his foes.

''The other, the perfidious Mara al Utha, decides that he needs none of that shit; declaring his name out loud is good enough for him.

The evil twin of Mara Al Utha continued to molest small boys and blame it on his brother. But at the height of his victory, Mara Al Utha was struck down by his evil twin's gay lover, the Golden one, revenge for scorning their alternative lifestyle."''

The Great Restoration

Dani phantump: /* Matches Restored Through The Great Restoration */

[[The Great Restoration]] is an ongoing tennis archival and recovery project spearheaded by {{dani_phantump}}, {{VidTens443}}, RaymanChrome, and iminio that began in March 2026 and slowed in activity around May, but continued to produce results slowly throughout the year. Through specific means, it was discovered at the end of the month previous to the project commencing that it was possible to recover the videos of any YouTube account that had been terminated by a third party at any time. Previously, this method had been used by the Recycle Bin collective to locate and extract lost videos by MeiAIDS, at which point {{dani_phantump}} crafted a list of names essential in the world of tennis that could also benefit from such retrieval. The first tennis videos to be fetched in this way were the long-lost uploads of PapaGonzales; this allowed the beginning of the restoration of much missing data from the [[Tennis League 1]], including the first ever compilation of a full match from that event, Misselaioneous10 vs. PapaGonzales(2007). KonXII vs. XBR4D3NX(2008) became the 100th match to be restored through these efforts on April 28, 2026.

The process is being carrying out through API downloader links at a rate of only a few each day depending on the allowed quotas; one source is reported to be anonymous, with initial requests sent through a chain of connections between the team and the one fetching the files. Recovery is additionally only possible if existing links exist for those works that were under terminated accounts, making the [[YouChew]] archives, the Wayback Machine and collections of crawled YouTube data indispensable resources for locating the desired material, the latter especially regarding certain videos for which no other source of a link exists. Initially progressing at a snail's pace, recovery efforts increased in activity dramatically once {{dani_phantump}} themselves gained access to a downloader link, and produced the bulk of restored videos from BMATF vs. conradslater(2007) onward.

The name "The Great Restoration" has its origins in messages about tennis recovery written by {{dani_phantump}} in the [[Tennis Isles]] discord as early as September 2024, which they have subsequently jokingly described as "mad, prophetic visions" about the potential restoration of many matches that have been long lost. As of this writing, many names that contributed throughout tennis who had their accounts terminated by a third party have had anywhere from a few to many of their their works recovered, including TyrannosaurusReich, {{theHappyFungus}}, SergeantBacon, HighVoltageChrist, Ishkibibl, BMATF from his original account BigMarioAndTailsFan, Terroristx123, sonicnerd23, SushieBoy, Gallers, MVJ52197, seconteen13, MilkR0und, Y2Zero, MasuginaChicken, Christoph2772, scimath12, KonXII, {{Nuthead}} from her original account jellytime69, Gnomebob, Tentor521, pimpsahoy, Glitchboyadvance, Zatchy, TangerineImpz, AmazingCucumber, RideTheCatfish, BSP666c's original account, ZippZapp, ADHDYoshi, mYZterbattyX and others.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/tennis-backup-archives-history.2293/post-43753</ref> Nine matches within [[YTP Tennis#The first matches|the first 25 ever played]] were restored thanks to these efforts, allowing the community to now have its first five in order, in addition to the seventh through tenth matches played, compiled and viewable on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account.

[[PukingCyberman vs. InsinerateHymn]] was a YouTube Poop/Video [[tennis match]] that took place on the "vanilla" [[YouChew]] forums between October 29 and November 1, 2007. Due to both the match's original thread and it's subsequent review by {{RabbitSnore}}, it was known erroneously for years as '''InsinerateHymn vs. PukingCyberman''', implying the volleying order was switched from its actual iteration. It is the [[YTP Tennis#The first matches|52nd tennis match ever played]]. Sources added include ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', ''Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law'', ''Robot Chicken'', the 2007 slate of Volvic commercials, a commercial for ''Eternal Sonata''(PS3, 2007), the ''Ghostbusters'' animated series, standup footage of George Carlin in the 1970s, a Jello Pudding Pop commercial featuring Bill Cosby, ''Link: The Faces of Evil''(CD-i, 1993), ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''(CD-i, 1993), ''The Amazing Screw-On Head''(2006), "Under Pressure"(1981) by Queen and David Bowie, and "Smooth Criminal"(1987) by Michael Jackson.

With both players using [[Windows Movie Maker]], it was the first match to be played by both PukingCyberman and InsinerateHymn, and the only tennis match ever played in the case of the former player. It holds the distinction of being the first in a block of three matches to recieve a review from RabbitSnore in his inaugural issue of the "Tennis Weekly Review" on the early YouChew forums, alongside GameCubeHero vs. Intenseowl(2007) and [[Furnessly vs. MrDrunkenFox]](2007). Unlike his reviews for the other two matches however, his review for this match was considerably critical due to things progressing little across rounds, including a prevailing contemporary bias against the use of CD-i sources in this era due to their perceived overexposure, and was most unfavorable towards InsinerateHymn's apparently very minimal and non-distinct approach. His closing consensus was thus:

"There was not much publicity for this match, and I can see why. It was between two hardly-known [creators], but even that has the potential for excellent [YTP]. The unfortunate part of this match was that for me the decision was clear who was the better [creator]: PukingCyberman made use of decent effects, slow-down, speed-up, sentence edits… He experimented, and it showed. But the entire match suffered from a lack of originality. I’d recommend that these [creators] strive to overcome lazy editing. Poop should be about weirdness and originality. This match lacked the destructiveness that is characteristic of a good [YTP] tennis match; the point is to make a [round] that is difficult to respond to, not make a regurgitated series of nearly identical [rounds] that slowly evolve."

Rabbit would subsequently apologize for his "rough review" of this match, adding "I did enjoy the fifth round, if that's any consolation." InsinerateHymn deleted his channel in early 2010, but made his entire tennis output downloadable in their original hard copies via a mediafire link posted to the YouChew forums shortly thereafter; it is unknown if anyone past or present in the community ever downloaded that archive and the link has since become lost, leaving most of InsinerateHymn's tennis work in a similar state. PukingCyberman's rounds continue to survive on YouTube as of January 2026.

[[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between October 27 and November 16, 2007. Stegblob had at this point already become a major figure in the world of YTP, as her signature solo video "Robotnik Gets a Viagra Overdose"(2007), which introduced "Pingas" into internet culture, had been making waves after only 6 months. Excitement was high when she announced that "Because I feel left out"<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071026154327/http://youchewpoop.com/forum/?CategoryID=7 The original title of her thread seeking a tennis opponent.</ref>, that she was seeking to try out tennis for the first time, explaining "The main reason behind this is because of the stress i've been going through recently[...]I think that before I can go on to making normal [YTPs] again, I need some "Different" things." She also requested "Because I dont even know it works properly, I'd rather not play with a noob at this time."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071027181327/http://youchewpoop.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5316&page=1</ref> Stegblob received tennis offers or expressions of interest from Deepercutt, azsxdc, SeductiveBaz, MrSimon/The Electric Cheese, MrDrunkenFox, Claculate900, KG4, Xillatem, PapaGonzales, and DrKelexo before Stegblob selected TyrannosaurusReich "FOR SOME REASON", who was evidently the most excited about a chance to play her.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071027093038/http://youchewpoop.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5316&page=2</ref> Sources used include ''The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog'', ''The O’Reilly Factor'', the ''Darkstalkers'' animated series, ''Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge'', ''Street Fighter''(1994), ''Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation''(2000), ''Dexter’s Laboratory'', one of the ''Fatal Fury'' games, the ''Bible Black'' adult anime series, four of Valve's "Meet the Team" shorts (''Meet The Heavy'', ''Meet The Demoman'', ''Meet The Soldier'', and ''Meet The Engineer''), the 2007 slate of Volvic commercials, and the ''Earthworm Jim'' animated series.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75511-rabbitsnore%E2%80%99s-poop-tennis-review-stegblob-vs-tyrannosaurusreich/1.html Taken directly from this article, with a few source clarifications.</ref>

It was the only known match played by Stegblob and the third match played by TyrannosaurusReich, and was [[YTP_Tennis#The_first_matches|the 46th tennis match ever played]]. {{RabbitSnore}} subsequently noted that this was "a rare match which received an uncommonly high amount of publicity"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75511-rabbitsnore%E2%80%99s-poop-tennis-review-stegblob-vs-tyrannosaurusreich/1.html</ref>, with every round achieving between thousands and tens of thousands of views<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20091124121345mp_/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5JFN9z3bw With TyannosaurusReich's rounds having no surviving uploads, this contemporary archived webpage shows evidence of both Round 1 and Round 2 and the high viewcounts both rounds had.</ref>. PapaGonzales declared by Round 2 that it was already "the most epic tennis match i've ever seen!" which UncleChuckTH agreed with, even saying "This one's even cooler than Conrad's game with Miss10."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071028145844/http://youchewpoop.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5482&page=2</ref> valkiriforce, many years before he would begin making videos himself, can be spotted in the comments of Round 1 circa 2007 quoting the moment where Robotnik says "I'll drive him off the planet! UH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5JFN9z3bw&lc=UgyyR9T5G0HU4T_9_kp4AaABAg&pp=0gcJCSIANpG00pGi</ref>. He subsequently made another comment in late 2024, specifying that "A friend and I used to quote random parts of this video in high school."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5JFN9z3bw&lc=UgwzGT8b_opKUlCkuvV4AaABAg</ref> Round 1 was, according to 50percentgrey, also considered to be one of MrSimon's favorite YTPs of all time.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5JFN9z3bw&lc=UgyGD534y4rMpNjnWXh4AaABAg</ref> TyrannosaurusReich subsequently expressed "I hate how round 4 came out. I could've done better."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/32-tennis-archives/443-tennis-archive-stegblob-vs-tyrannosaurusreich/1.html#post-147330</ref> RabbitSnore published a review of this match in which he considered TyrannosaurusReich's Round 6 to be his favorite, and summarized the match thusly:

"This match had been called, by at least one person, the "tennis match of the year." Indeed, watching this match was akin to watching Zues and Odin duel in the sky. Neither [YTPer] seemed inferior; every round produced a [YTP] worth watching. Other [YTPers] can learn from the example of this match that tennis is all about novel usage: the best thing you can do to make a [YTP] effective and original is to corrupt audio and video in a way that it has rarely or never been done before.

This was among the handful of matches that received reference in RabbitSnore's early tennis document ''The Observational Guide to [YTP] Tennis'', which also named the matches [[conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]], [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow]], [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]], [[Thereisnospoon303 vs. RabbitSnore]], and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]]<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75585-an-observational-guide-to-poop-tennis/1.html</ref>, and was listed among the "Top 5 Good Tennis games to learn from" in the supplemental ''The Recreational Guide to [YTP] Tennis'', later being reintegrated into the revised 2025 versions of both articles.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75999-a-recreational-guide-to-poop-tennis/1.html</ref>. Oddly, the original match thread for Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich did not seem to survive [[YouChew]]'s forum transitions, as it never resurfaced when the Vanilla-era posts were re-integrated into the Invision-era website, leaving surviving evidence of the match when it took place only on The Wayback Machine through an intricate archive of the Vanilla forums made in late October 2007. {{Crash2991}} included the match as one of 25 match thread included from the then-inaccessible Vanilla forums in the old Tennis: Archives section on April 7, 2008. Stegblob's rounds continue to survive, albiet unlisted, in their original uploads. TyrannosaurusReich's side of the match was previously lost due to his account being terminated sometime in the mid-2010s, but was later fully recovered through the efforts of [[The Great Restoration]]. It was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in March 2026.

[[Furnessly vs. MrDrunkenFox]] was a YouTube Poop/Video [[tennis match]] that took place between October 26 and November 3, 2007. [[YTP_Tennis#The_first_matches|The 41st tennis match ever played]], it was one of the earliest matches to theme itself entirely around a specific body of sources, with its focus on the ''Looney Tunes'' theatrical short catalog being a specialty of interest for both players. Shorts used include the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote shorts ''Just Plane Beep''(1965) and ''Chaser on the Rocks''(1965), the Bugs Bunny shorts ''A Star is Bored''(1956), ''The Old Grey Hare''(1944), ''Bugs Bunny Rides Again''(1948), ''Super Rabbit''(1943) and ''The Case of the Missing Hare''(1942), the Daffy Duck shorts ''Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur''(1939), ''What Makes Daffy Duck''(1948), ''The Great Piggy Bank Robbery''(1946), ''Scrap Happy Daffy''(1943) and ''Daffy - The Commando''(1943), the Porky Pig short ''Porky Pig's Feat''(1943), the one-off shorts ''The Dover Boys at Pimento University; or, The Rivals of Roquefort Hall''(1942), ''Tokio Jokio''(1943) and ''The Russian Rhapsody''(1944), and the intro to ''The Bugs Bunny Show''.

This was the first match to be played by Furnessly and the fourth match to be played by {{MrDrunkenFox}}, and was the first tennis match to be seen by {{Crash2991}} as well as one of the first to be seen by Emperor Ing.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/121.html#post-841600</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/121.html#post-842329</ref> It was also one of the first matches to be given a review on the [[YouChew]] forums by {{RabbitSnore}}, in an article that also included reviews of the matches GameCubeHero vs. Intenseowl (2007) and [[PukingCyberman vs. InsinerateHymn]](2007). He described the match as:

"a paragon of tennis; The players showed their prowess in each round, never producing a poor-quality [video]. All the [rounds] of this game were of superior quality, all worth watching and loving every second. Part of what made this match interesting was the use of only Looney Toons[sic], which produced [videos] of epic quality instead of the low-quality [videos] that material restrictions often produce. A godly match that ought to be chiseled happily into [YTP] history."

MrDrunkenFox's rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. Furnessly deleted his YouTube account in 2018 but made sure that he was fully archived ahead of time, including eventually hosting his own archives of his work as he began to resurface in 2025. The match was first compiled into a single video on the official video tennis account {{YouWouldBeWelcome}} in September 2024.

[[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 40th 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.

[[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|36th 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.

[[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]] was a Youtube Poop/Video [[tennis match]] that took place between October 23 and November 18, 2007.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/83030-tennis-wikiwow-vs-unclechuckth-aosth-only-first-ten-round-game/1#post-3405641</ref><ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/83030-tennis-wikiwow-vs-unclechuckth-aosth-only-first-ten-round-game/2#post-3460202</ref> [[YTP_Tennis#The_first_matches|The 34th match ever played]], it was the first ever tennis match to go to ten rounds in addition to being the first ever match to theme itself entirely around ''[[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', unintentionally beginning an informal tradition for many matches across the history of tennis that would adhere to such a theme. Episodes used from the cartoon include "Pseudo Sonic", "Zoobotnik", "Sonic Breakout", "Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad", "Tails Prevails", "Tails in Charge", "Robolympics", "Prehistoric Sonic", "Lovesick Sonic", "Hero of the Year", "The Robotnik Express", "Too Tall Tails", "Roboninjas", "Black Bot The Pirate", "Full Tilt Tails", and "Trails of the Missing Tails". Also used in smaller capacities was the episode "A Toadally Magical Adventure" from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix ending.<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/83030-tennis-wikiwow-vs-unclechuckth-aosth-only-first-ten-round-game/3#post-3465483</ref>

It was the fourth match played by UncleChuckTH and the second match played by Wikiwow, who suggested that the match be entirely themed around the above cartoon simply because, in his words at the time, "It's the only thing I have at the moment."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/83030-tennis-wikiwow-vs-unclechuckth-aosth-only-first-ten-round-game/1#post-3392271</ref> With [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow]] happening not long after this match took place, this match is seen today as essentially a prelude to it, and was praised by contemporaries at the time including Misselaineous10, SeductiveBaz, and MrDrunkenFox. RabbitSnore wrote about the match in a joint review alongside [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]](2007), in which he described it as:

"...a ground-breaking, tremendously impressive match. If [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]] was a duel between Zues and Odin, this match was surely a duel between Odysseus and Achilles. To my knowledge, it is the longest two-player match in history. The last two poops of the match were my favorites of the whole game, since they seem to be the culmination of all the memes and consistent techniques of the match. In good tennis matches, running gags are established often, but never have I seen such effective use of them, built further in each round. This match, like a handful of others, should be carved into [YTP] history as classics."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/56-archive/75516-tennis-review-unclechuckth-vs-wikiwow/1</ref>

This was among the handful of matches that received reference in RabbitSnore's early tennis document ''The Observational Guide to [YTP] Tennis'', which also named the matches Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich, [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow]], [[conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]], [[Thereisnospoon303 vs. RabbitSnore]], and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]]<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75585-an-observational-guide-to-poop-tennis/1.html</ref>, and was listed among the "Top 5 Good Tennis games to learn from" in the supplemental ''The Recreational Guide to [YTP] Tennis''<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/75999-a-recreational-guide-to-poop-tennis/1.html</ref>. The match today is mostly only viewable from UncleChuckTH's side, with the exception of "AND TAILS"(2007), Wikiwow's Round 7, which was the only round from his side that was archived following the loss of his videos in 2012.

Round 2 of the chain, TangerineImpz's "NO, IT'S LOUD!"(2007), was one of the 33 Round 2's sampled in GameBop's "Seconds, Anyone?"(2010), their serve for [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor|their match with Sploltoen and MycroProcessor]] in the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]].

=Layout=
As this was the very first chain, the essential [[Chains|"vanilla" rules]] for how chains proceed were established here. None of the participants go a second time, unlike later chains, with the length of all the rounds together lasting over an hour.

Chain progression is broken twice, with the earliest instance happening at Round 3 with cloggedone ignoring Round 2 to make their own response to the serve. glitchboyadvance's Round 15 was contributed unsolicited, with UncleChuckTH responding to the round before it unaware of this occurring, creating a second break. Wizkid837's Round 37, "BECAUSE SOMETHING ALREADY HAPPENED IN SILENT MODE"(2007), is the most popular round of the chain at nearly 10,000 views, though this appears to be for reasons inexplicable. At Round 18 and 19, Misselaineous10 and conradslater appear in direct sequence of each other, sharing their only tennis exchange to occur after [[Conradslater vs. Misselaineous10| the first tennis match ever played.]]

A low point in the chain is generally considered to occur at neilwb23's Round 32, "BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO CHAINPOOP DIED"(2007), due to its incredibly prolific use of the n-word, as sampled from ''South Park'', repeated across its length and becoming a recurring element for the next few rounds. Viewer discretion is advised when viewing this portion of the chain.

{{GameBop}} kept a dedicated archive of the first four official chains on YouTube through the accounts YTPoopChain and YTPChain and is responsible for the continued existence of all other rounds that were since deleted from their original uploads into the present day. Round 42, 44, 46 and 51 were lost for many years, but were all recovered through the efforts of [[The Great Restoration]], making it now the earliest chain to be completely preserved. It was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account, with all rounds intact, in March 2026.

Video Tennis

2026-08-26T03:13:37Z

Dani phantump: /* The first matches */

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, experimental, or abstractly expressive in nature.

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!

=Relationship to Youtube Poop As An idiom=

While starting mainly as a derivative of YouTube Poop, and in the early years much more embraced by the full Youtube Poop community, it increasingly came into its own much in the same way as the sister offshoot of [[YTPMV]] as time went on and the community of mainline Youtube Poop and the community of tennis have grown largely separate. A definite "jumping off point" in terms of its separation has occasionally been noted to have happened somewhere in late 2010 or early 2011, a period in which more classic, simpler styles of engaging with tennis were pushed into the background in favor of work that was growing increasingly avant-guarde and exploratory -- {{MycroProcessor}}'s "5"(2011) is identified as a major and defining work to come from this period. Much of modern tennis operates on a completely different creative philosophy in comparison to [[Youtube Poop]], and veers into the extremes of all areas, from maximalism to minimalism, and the contexts of the various ways edited material is interrelated -- experimental, atmospheric, avant-guarde and generally much more overstimulating/abstract territory. "Video tennis" as a term was first used by {{CorruptionSound}} to denote his matches as early as 2009.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCD86DADCB467E702 Playlist for his first tennis match</ref>

Unlike [[YTPMV]], much of the main [[Youtube Poop]] community does not regard YTP/Video tennis with much, if any serious regard or respect regarding its contributions to the overall spectrum of work created within this collective idiom over its history. Tennis is often ignored or devalued in comparison -- seen as an inaccessible, disposable obscurity owing to its tendency to explore styles and methods of video craft that are far outside of the comedy that tends to define YTP, or the music/organized sound structures that define YTPMV. Common criticisms often point the to the lack of conventional humor in tennis, the extremities and loudness of its sound design, as well as the abstract visual/colorful material that often obscures the baseline sources that were used to eventually arrive at that result, leaving many viewers little in the way to relate to in the same way that they would normal YTP. Some have viewed common tennis styles and techniques as a "lazy" way to make videos under the pretext of viewing the subversion of media as working in tandem with an understanding and a utilization of the media's exploitable material; Tennis often ignores this in favor of different, more sub-textural angles of editing approach, in which combinations and peculiarities of a source's sound, or the energy of a specific visual moment, can often play a part. Conversely, when exploitation of material for comedic purposes is the common point of focus for a player in a tennis context, this usually becomes focused on above the match at hand, and many response opportunities to a previous round have often gotten missed or large swaths of the previous round are ignored outright as a result.

View counts for videos created in a tennis context compared to standard YTP are almost always universally low, with many taking years to eventually accumulate view counts that surpass 1,000. Tennis rounds often accumulated counts of a few thousand or more in its early years, usually depending on the following and the status of the player/creator within the community itself. The most popular tennis matches have almost always happened between popular YTPers themselves who have the following to allow their work, and sometimes the work of their opponent if this opponent is more obscure, to be seen with uncommonly high attention.

Tennis has also become known in recent years for having a very large, much-younger base of creators usually operating on the fringes of the community (generally intersecting from "logo-editing" and "Object Show" focused spaces), actively making large volumes of work that tend to capture and magnify the base impressions of tennis in the form of loud, amateurishly made works using a small and repetitive pool of the same shared sources that offer little to no variation of execution. The ways in which this defines the overall impression of tennis as a medium altogether tends to vary depending, but has usually served to emphasize a perceived lack of collective creativity.

Certain rounds from certain matches have been embraced as individual works, though this is seen to come at a detriment to the perception of tennis itself as something to only understand individual videos through, rather than the progression of the matches that eventually arrive at said "rounds" within the match. In many matches, the serve is usually the most popular video as it is the easiest to engage with as a work in its own right. Occasionally a round late in the match gains the most attention, usually for its maximalist, overstimulating and overly abstract qualities producing reactions that are either of confusion or dismissal, even from those already cultured within YTP itself, or celebratory in the context of the work being affirming of the common stereotypes of all tennis. Another frequent critique of accessibility has often been the need for a viewer to sit through multiple videos or "rounds" of a match, and if a playlist for the match is not provided, needing to have knowledge of the existence of the match itself, where to find all the rounds and what their titles are. Since the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] tennis archive account launched in 2019, a library of tennis matches compiled into single videos have been slowly assembled to allowed for the process of watching matches as single, concentrated videos, and properly understanding the ways in which tennis is played to be better understood by the general public.

=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>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC_cfd9PDAk</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!

Dani phantump: /* The Café Today */

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, used from 2013 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_}}, {{Snorp}}

[[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. {{Snorp}} became the newest addition to the staff on August 25, 2026.

==The Café Today==

The active staff as it stands today is made up of {{VidTens443}}, {{Letycjusz S.}}, {{infinitysnapz}}, {{AngryLuigi23}}, {{dew}}, {{TheChutley}}, {{CRJ1}}, {{mrdoognoog}} and {{snorp}}. 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.

Dani phantump: /* List of Tennis Staff */

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, used from 2013 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_}}, {{Snorp}}

[[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. {{Snorp}} became the newest addition to the staff on August 25, 2026.

==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=

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.

Tennis Staff

2026-08-25T22:06:13Z

Dani phantump: /* Sixth Generation(2025-present) */

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)==

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_}}, {{Snorp}}

[[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. {{Snorp}} became the newest addition to the staff on August 25, 2026.

==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.

}}

[[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]] is YouTube Poop/Video [[tennis]] match that took place on the YouChew forums between November 12 and December 27, 2008. Dubbed by Emperor Ing as "The Lord of the Tennis", the entire match was themed strictly around material from adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'' series of books, and included material such as ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring''(2001), ''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers''(2002), Ralph Bakshi's ''The Lord of the Rings''(1978) and the Rankin-Bass adaptions of ''The Hobbit''(1977) and ''The Return of the King''(1980).

This was the second match played by Emperor Ing to be given an unofficial title, and follows a rough and loose silly storyline of "Frodo and Sass" attempting to take the "Gimli, Son of Gloin"(later turned into "Gloimly, Son of Gin" or simply "the Gloimly") to "Momo", running afoul of "ManSaru" and other unpleasant characters along the way. This results in a match driven very heavily by its added footage on both sides, with responses to the previous round often appearing at interstitial moments throughout. Emperor Ing observed during this match, "I have noticed that all but one of my Tennis matches have a story behind them. In that I put the time to make a highly unnavigable story into my videos over the course of a tennis match."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/152.html#post-1093593</ref> To further the match's theming, many posts made by Ing during its progress in reference to it invoke memes and playful lore regarding the ''Lord of the Rings'' universe, providing a decisive "Middle Earth" atmosphere.

It was the 4th complete match to be played by Emperor Ing and the 20th complete match to be played by theHappyFungus, as well as her third to last complete match entirely; theHappyFungus would become significantly more inactive over the following year and only make any significant tennis contributions during the [[Tennis Season]]. The match was praised by tennis regulars including {{RabbitSnore}}, {{RAKninja}} (who wished he would have taken up the serve when it was first offered)<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/1.html#post-986711 Ing: "poor rak.

Emperor Ing praised the performance of theHappyFungus in particular, considering it "perfection in its highest state"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/2.html#post-1146037</ref> and saying of her Round 4: " Good lord, this is the best thing, tennis or not, I've seen in a while. You made everything used in the previous rounds and perfected them. You also added new material that is extremely funny on its own. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole thing."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/1.html#post-1058304</ref> 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 the Ralph Bakshi ''Lord of the Rings'' as one of a few direct references to theHappyFungus and Emperor Ing as a result of this match taking place.

Emperor Ing's odd rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. theHappyFungus' rounds were previously lost since her channel was 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]]. It was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in March 2026.

=Background=
Emperor Ing memorably opened the original match thread on YouChew with the following as the first post:

"One Match to rule them all,

One Match to find them.

One Match to bring them all,

And in the darkness, bind them.

So starts the most epic of tennis matches, spanning Middle Earth in a quest to save the land from evil! theHappyFungus and I bring you The Lord of the Tennis!

Here are the rules:

6 rounds

1:00 minimum length

Only Lord of the Rings media (movies, cartoons, etc)

Detailed knowledge of the Lords of the Noldor

Well, the last one is false. But anyhoo, here is the opening serve:

'The Lord of the Tennis: The Fellowship of Gimli'"

''Meanwhile, Gandalf visits the great Wizard Santa Claus, otherwise known as ManSaru. Seeking advice, it turns out that ManSaru betrays Gandalf, as he wishes to possess the Gloimly for himself. After defeating a RogBal that he unleashed, Gandalf is imprisoned on the fortress of ManSaru. With Gandalf out of the way, ManSaru makes ready his assault on Aragorn and Theoden.

''ManSaru, determined to capture the Gloimly at all costs, launches an all-out assault on Deep's Helm, courtesy of his boys, who are buoyed on by maggots and medicine. The relentless assault is almost disastorous for Theoden and Aragorn, but a last minute save by Gandalf, back from his duel with the RogBal, saves the day.

''However, this does not mean the war is finished. ManSaru lost Deep's Helm, but the power of the Gloimly gorws ever stronger on Frodo and Sass as they make their way towards MMMMM in the land of MoMo. THe Gloimly's power starts to weaken Frodo, and draws Gollum out of his reverie to attack the two Hobbits.

In that I put the time to make a highly unnavigable story into my videos over the course of a tennis match."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/152.html#post-1093593</ref> To further the match's theming, many posts made by Ing during its progress in reference to it invoke memes and playful lore regarding the ''Lord of the Rings'' universe, providing a decisive "Middle Earth" atmosphere.

It was the 4th complete match to be played by Emperor Ing and the 20th complete match to be played by theHappyFungus, as well as her third to last complete match entirely; theHappyFungus would become significantly more inactive over the following year and only make any significant tennis contributions during the [[Tennis Season]]. The match was praised by tennis regulars including RabbitSnore, RAKninja (who wished he would have taken up the serve when it was first offered)<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/1.html#post-986711 Ing: "poor rak.

Emperor Ing praised the performance of theHappyFungus in particular, considering it "perfection in its highest state"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/2.html#post-1146037</ref> and saying of her Round 4: " Good lord, this is the best thing, tennis or not, I've seen in a while. You made everything used in the previous rounds and perfected them. You also added new material that is extremely funny on its own. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole thing."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/32710-the-lord-of-the-tennis-emperor-ing-vs-thehappyfungus/1.html#post-1058304</ref> 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 the Ralph Bakshi ''Lord of the Rings'' as one of a few direct references to theHappyFungus and Emperor Ing as a result of this match taking place.

Emperor Ing's odd rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. theHappyFungus' rounds were previously lost since her channel was 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]]. It was first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in March 2026.

=Background=
Emperor Ing memorably opened the original match thread on YouChew with the following as the first post:

"One Match to rule them all,

One Match to find them.

One Match to bring them all,

And in the darkness, bind them.

So starts the most epic of tennis matches, spanning Middle Earth in a quest to save the land from evil! theHappyFungus and I bring you The Lord of the Tennis!

Here are the rules:

6 rounds

1:00 minimum length

Only Lord of the Rings media (movies, cartoons, etc)

Detailed knowledge of the Lords of the Noldor

Well, the last one is false. But anyhoo, here is the opening serve:

'The Lord of the Tennis: The Fellowship of Gimli'"

Description:

''One match to rule them all, 
''One match to find them. 
''One match to bring them all, 
''and in the darkness, bind them. 

''So echoes the prophecies of Elrond the Wise, who calls together a council of da best playahs, eveh, to find a solution on destroying the evil Gimli, son of Gloin. It is revealed that only in the land of MoMo in the fires of MMMMM can Gimli be totally destroyed. After the the ultimatum, Arguing breaks out as to who should carry the ring. Gimli is adamantly anti-elf.
''Elrond is befuddled when Frodo accepts the challenge, but is nonetheless accepting of him to take Gimli to MoMo.
''The rest of the group offer their weapons and axes, and the Fellowship of Gimli is formed!

''The first round of a no-doubt epic confrontation between the forces of Emperor Ingon, son of Fingon, High King of the Noldor, and Lady Fungus, daughter of Rungus (cousin of Rian) of the House of Huor.''

Description:

''In this exciting follow-up to The Two Gloimlys, The Treason of ManSaru is the next installment of the epic Lord of the Tennis match between Emperor Ingon and Lady Fungus.

''In this story, much is dark and gloom-filled in the lands of Earth-Middle, as the tast to destroy the One and Evil Gloimly becomes ever harder. The fellowship of Gimli is split up, as Frodo and Sass are left alone to fend off the might of MoMo.

''Meanwhile, Gandalf visits the great Wizard Santa Claus, otherwise known as ManSaru. Seeking advice, it turns out that ManSaru betrays Gandalf, as he wishes to possess the Gloimly for himself. After defeating a RogBal that he unleashed, Gandalf is imprisoned on the fortress of ManSaru. With Gandalf out of the way, ManSaru makes ready his assault on Aragorn and Theoden.

''When all hope seems lost, a battalion of Elves under command of Haldir come to join in on a really cool suicide mission. Meanwhile, Elrond keeps on reiterating the same ultimatum of destruction in the fires of MMMMMM.

''What will happen to the ring-bearer and of the Fellowship of Gimli?''

Description:

''In this next installment, the action comes to a boil in the fifth bout between Ingon, son of Fingon, and Lady Fungus, kinswoman of Rian.

''ManSaru, determined to capture the Gloimly at all costs, launches an all-out assault on Deep's Helm, courtesy of his boys, who are buoyed on by maggots and medicine. The relentless assault is almost disastorous for Theoden and Aragorn, but a last minute save by Gandalf, back from his duel with the RogBal, saves the day.

''However, this does not mean the war is finished. ManSaru lost Deep's Helm, but the power of the Gloimly gorws ever stronger on Frodo and Sass as they make their way towards MMMMM in the land of MoMo. THe Gloimly's power starts to weaken Frodo, and draws Gollum out of his reverie to attack the two Hobbits.

''At the foot of the source of all evil, a great storm is brewing. Can these two Hobbits save Youtube Poop from the forces of the Infinite Shadow?''

[[VidTens443 vs. dani_phantump]] is a [[YouTube Poop]]/Video [[YTP Tennis|tennis match]] played as a part of the [[Tennis League 5]], taking place between November 18 to December 8, 2019. It was played as a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches within Division B, which for this set meant that all matches in this division were to happen under the [[Wildcard]] variant, one of five that each division cycled through over the course of the league. dani_phantump had previously faced {{nm41}} in Set 1 under the [[Multiplied Time]] variant and KaiPixelleap7800 in Set 2 under the [[Noplug]] variant, and VidTens443 had previously faced gsgiraffes and nm41 under the same respective variants. 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, ''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 "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMXwFlp9IoI If Soda Commercials Were Honest]" (2016) by Honest Ads, 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 every previous league [[Tennis-Tennis|were also added]] as part of the restriction for round 2, which gave the explicit instruction to "Try and represent all five Tennis Leagues as you can" while also doing so in a style intended to resemble that of {{DaftPunkYoshi}} and {{Autumnithink}}.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-set-3-vidtens443-vs-dew-done-vote/5640</ref>. dani_phantump opted for an approach similar to {{GameBop}}'s "Seconds, Anyone?", their Round 1 of [[GameBop/superkoffee vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor]] from Set 2 of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], and utilized 22 Round 2s from all five tennis leagues. These rounds were sourced from RabbitSnore vs. Misselaineous10(2007) and SushieBoy vs. Misselaineous10(2007) from the [[Tennis League 1]], SeductiveBaz vs. GameBop(2008), strong414bad vs. GameBop(2008), GameBop vs. UncleChuckTH(2008), Gallers vs. SeductiveBaz(2008) and SeductiveBaz vs. UncleChuckTH(rematch)(2008) from the [[Tennis League 2]], NS2 vs. Luioigi(2008), UncleChuckTH vs. NS2(2008), Aesaun vs. TheDarkRises(2008), Temeku/MTB710 vs. LightningSpike(2008) and WowComics vs. Temeku/MTB710(2008) from the [[Tennis League 3]], CheeChee vs. GameBop(2015), ravinrabbid123 vs. LaVieCestLol(2015), CorruptionSound vs. MycroProcessor(rematch)(2015), laormande vs. mYZterbattyX(hornet)(2015), and laromande vs. Sploltoen(2015) from the [[Tennis League 4]], and gsgiraffes vs. AwesomeGuy117(2019), CheeChee vs. poprox101(2019), Sploltoen vs. ZeroLittleWords(2019), mrdoognoog vs. sull0(2019), and [[Mapo vs. Razerek]](2019) from the [[Tennis League 5]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1ERmIa9ZQ8</ref>

The match had been highly anticipated by both of its players, who hoped to be able to face each other under this variant.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tennis-league-fiv-cheers-to-razzy/4852/308</ref> While falling under Wildcard rules 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), as per dani_phantump's instigation. 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_phantump'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 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.

[[superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley]] was a [[YouTube Poop]]/[[video tennis]] match played as a part of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], taking place between September 2 and November 26, 2010. It was a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches, and one of 4 taking place within this set's "losers" bracket; every player in this bracket had already lost exactly one game previously in the tournament, and whoever lost their matches this set would be eliminated. The winners bracket of this set was {{GameBop}} vs. {{Moogle}} vs. Metzgorrre, and the two losing players of this match would then mingle with the winning players in the losers bracket for two matches in Set 4. TheChutley had lost in the first set to Luioigi, but had defeated Futures Passed and vvaluigi in the second, and MycroProcessor had defeated {{ChrisGendo}} and JakeSteel in the first set but lost to GameBop in the second set.

Originally set to be {{DaftPunkYoshi}} vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley, DaftPunkYoshi (who defeated AmiralMachin and vvaluigi in the first set but lost to Metzgorrre in the second set) became unable to participate further in the tournament, and subsequently retired his legendary usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] in favor of [[Adobe Premiere]] Elements for his videos going forward. superkoffee, who had previously appeared as a one-off replacement in the Set 2 match [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor]] to make Round 7 in place of GameBop, stepped in again as a replacement for his first full tournament match, and the only one he would play in this competition.

This was the first match played by MycroProcessor to display a radical shift in their editing style, debuted for the first time in their Round 2, "I don't trust anyone". It was a change he additionally marked by uploading this video on their main channel, where their most visually complex and "impressive" work was usually posted, under the title "OH NO WHAT HAPPEN TO MYCRO HE WAS MY FAVOURITE TENNISER BUT NOW HE IS A". It was with this round that the tone and direction the match was to take was set, as all three players ended up making each of their rounds in this match incredibly distinctive from one another, and all taking bold creative directions with their responses. This match can be identified by its very musical and wandering first third, its frenetic and seemingly rushed second third, and then its climactic and long-form last third. Sources added include the Sid and Marty Krofft television shows ''The Bugaloos'', ''Lidsville'' and ''H.R. Pufnstuf'', audio from the long-running "Pirates of the Carribean" ride at Disneyland ("DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES...."), the ''Pokemon'' animated series, a video called "Celeberty Winter Advice with Geddy Lee", ''Riven''(PC, 1997), ''Pulseman''(Mega Drive, 1994), a video on the making of ''Reah: Face the Unknown''(PC, 1998), a then very recently released announcement trailer for ''Bioshock Infinite''(PS3/PC/Mac/Xbox 360, 2013), the Monty Python film ''And Now for Something Completely Different''(1971), a large amount of images and sprites of or containing the Pokemon eeveelutions Umbreon, Jolteon and Glaceon (meant to represent the three players of the match in their volleying order), an edited image of Nigel Thornberry from ''The Wild Thornberrys'', several images of ferries ("FERRY RAVE!"), the album cover of the 1981 Rush album ''Moving Pictures'', Rush's classic "Starman" logo, an instrumental FM synth rendition of the Yes song "Roundabout"(1972), the original recording of the Yes song "Heart of the Sunrise"(1972), and the Rush songs "Cygnus X-1: Book 2"(1978), "Show Don't Tell"(1989), "Distant Early Warning"(1984), "Jacob's Ladder"(1980), "Force Ten"(1987), "Where's My Thing? 'Part IV (Gangster of Boats Trilogy)'"(1991), "Hemispheres"(1978), "Limelight"(1981), "Xanadu"(1977), and "La Villa Strangiato"(1978). This is also among the earliest matches in which rounds are responded to with either filmed or screen recorded footage of each player's computer screen, as a creative way to both feature the previous round in an unusual way and to add more footage into the match. This would be done again with great effect in the [[MWTT Teal Set 2]] match(2013-2014).

superkoffee's voice appears in all three of his rounds in the match, offering a playful challenge to his volleying opponent in his Round 1 and 4. The first of these is an introduction to a signature novelty invention of his known as "The Secret Chroma Keyable Image"; he begins the match by offering it freely at the serve's end and instructing the opponent to "use it in the next round!". Another "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" appears has a hidden on-screen link in Round 4, which ends with a small quiz regarding "What will be the answer to this question?", providing four potential deliberately silly answers. {{MycroProcessor}} responds to these moments by using the first "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" in Round 2 and then answering the quiz question with "Sample Text" by putting this phrase in the corner of an opening segment in Round 5. Round 5 ends with a humorous non-sequitor segment of a 3D construct being dramatically zoomed in upon, revealing "{{Metroid998}}" rendered into its infastructure. MycroProcessor subsequently revealed this moment to be the product of a dream they had during the "Three-Way Tennis Tournament Commentary" livestreams in late 2014. Metroid998 himself remarked of this moment at the time in a now-deleted comment, "It's always been my dream to be a wire-frame building."

It was the fifth or sixth match completed by superkoffee, the 29th match completed by MycroProcessor and the 46th match completed by TheChutley. All players received an even 40% penalty due either to lateness or, in TheChutley's case, for round length, which kept no one player from finishing at a disadvantage.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-3035658</ref> superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley became an instant favorite of the younger contemporary community of the time, and has subsequently gone on to be considered as one of the best tennis matches ever played, if not the best.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=Ugz4WpskVQlwQ6i5wCt4AaABAg</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=UgxnxQcrtYp-hF98cRh4AaABAg</ref> It was listed as a favorite match by {{Vel 17}}, ChrisGendo, {{AshcrementVII}}, {{Foghorn Scorpio}}, and {{Cyclejunkie}}.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/3.html#post-5002750</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223251</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223292</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223893</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3960469</ref> All three players are recognized positively for the work they contributed to this match; superkoffee for his signature whimsicality and mind-bending visual effects for the time, MycroProcessor for their daring stylistic reinventions and out-of-the-box way of approaching responses, most significantly in their Round 2 and Round 8, and TheChutley for creating one of the match's more defining images in Round 6 and for the outlandish humor put on display for her lengthy and comedic Round 9. MycroProcessor declared at the match's conclusion that it was their favorite that they had ever participated in<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-3035658</ref>, and it was wondered by some as to how this lineup ended up in the losers bracket.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-2952965</ref> Ultimately, for their rounds having the most inventive approach of all three players and effectively steering the overall direction the strongest, MycroProcessor became the winner of this match.

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 {{dew}} ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved. All other rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though TheChutley's rounds briefly disappeared off of YouTube between April and August 2011 due to an erroneous suspension that was successfully disputed. The match was first compiled into a single video on "Ytp Delivery System" in November 2020, subsequently compiled on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in August 2021, and later recompiled into a more high-quality version with better copies of the rounds on "TheChutley Archive" in October 2024.

[[superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley]] was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], taking place between September 2 and November 26, 2010. It was a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches, and one of 4 taking place within this set's "losers" bracket; every player in this bracket had already lost exactly one game previously in the tournament, and whoever lost their matches this set would be eliminated. The winners bracket of this set was {{GameBop}} vs. {{Moogle}} vs. Metzgorrre, and the two losing players of this match would then mingle with the winning players in the losers bracket for two matches in Set 4. TheChutley had lost in the first set to Luioigi, but had defeated Futures Passed and vvaluigi in the second, and MycroProcessor had defeated ChrisGendo and JakeSteel in the first set but lost to GameBop in the second set.

Originally set to be {{DaftPunkYoshi}} vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley, DaftPunkYoshi (who defeated AmiralMachin and vvaluigi in the first set but lost to Metzgorrre in the second set) became unable to participate further in the tournament, and subsequently retired his legendary usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] in favor of [[Adobe Premiere]] Elements for his videos going forward. superkoffee, who had previously appeared as a one-off replacement in the Set 2 match [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor]] to make Round 7 in place of GameBop, stepped in again as a replacement for his first full tournament match, and the only one he would play in this competition.

This was the first match played by MycroProcessor to display a radical shift in their editing style, debuted for the first time in their Round 2, "I don't trust anyone". It was a change he additionally marked by uploading this video on their main channel, where their most visually complex and "impressive" work was usually posted, under the title "OH NO WHAT HAPPEN TO MYCRO HE WAS MY FAVOURITE TENNISER BUT NOW HE IS A". It was with this round that the tone and direction the match was to take was set, as all three players ended up making each of their rounds in this match incredibly distinctive from one another, and all taking bold creative directions with their responses. This match can be identified by its very musical and wandering first third, its frenetic and seemingly rushed second third, and then its climactic and long-form last third. Sources added include the Sid and Marty Krofft television shows ''The Bugaloos'', ''Lidsville'' and ''H.R. Pufnstuf'', audio from the long-running "Pirates of the Carribean" ride at Disneyland ("DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES...."), the ''Pokemon'' animated series, a video called "Celeberty Winter Advice with Geddy Lee", ''Riven''(PC, 1997), ''Pulseman''(Mega Drive, 1994), a video on the making of ''Reah: Face the Unknown''(PC, 1998), a then very recently released announcement trailer for ''Bioshock Infinite''(PS3/PC/Mac/Xbox 360, 2013), the Monty Python film ''And Now for Something Completely Different''(1971), a large amount of images and sprites of or containing the Pokemon eeveelutions Umbreon, Jolteon and Glaceon (meant to represent the three players of the match in their volleying order), an edited image of Nigel Thornberry from ''The Wild Thornberrys'', several images of ferries ("FERRY RAVE!"), the album cover of the 1981 Rush album ''Moving Pictures'', Rush's classic "Starman" logo, an instrumental FM synth rendition of the Yes song "Roundabout"(1972), the original recording of the Yes song "Heart of the Sunrise"(1972), and the Rush songs "Cygnus X-1: Book 2"(1978), "Show Don't Tell"(1989), "Distant Early Warning"(1984), "Jacob's Ladder"(1980), "Force Ten"(1987), "Where's My Thing? 'Part IV (Gangster of Boats Trilogy)'"(1991), "Hemispheres"(1978), "Limelight"(1981), "Xanadu"(1977), and "La Villa Strangiato"(1978). This is also among the earliest matches in which rounds are responded to with either filmed or screen recorded footage of each player's computer screen, as a creative way to both feature the previous round in an unusual way and to add more footage into the match. This would be done again with great effect in the [[MWTT Teal Set 2]] match(2013-2014).

superkoffee's voice appears in all three of his rounds in the match, offering a playful challenge to his volleying opponent in his Round 1 and 4. The first of these is an introduction to a signature novelty invention of his known as "The Secret Chroma Keyable Image"; he begins the match by offering it freely at the serve's end and instructing the opponent to "use it in the next round!". Another "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" appears has a hidden on-screen link in Round 4, which ends with a small quiz regarding "What will be the answer to this question?", providing four potential deliberately silly answers. {{MycroProcessor}} responds to these moments by using the first "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" in Round 2 and then answering the quiz question with "Sample Text" by putting this phrase in the corner of an opening segment in Round 5. Round 5 ends with a humorous non-sequitor segment of a 3D construct being dramatically zoomed in upon, revealing "{{Metroid998}}" rendered into its infastructure. MycroProcessor subsequently revealed this moment to be the product of a dream they had during the "Three-Way Tennis Tournament Commentary" livestreams in late 2014. Metroid998 himself remarked of this moment at the time in a now-deleted comment, "It's always been my dream to be a wire-frame building."

It was the fifth or sixth match completed by superkoffee, the 29th match completed by MycroProcessor and the 46th match completed by TheChutley. All players received an even 40% penalty due either to lateness or, in TheChutley's case, for round length, which kept no one player from finishing at a disadvantage.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-3035658</ref> superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley became an instant favorite of the younger contemporary community of the time, and has subsequently gone on to be considered as one of the best tennis matches ever played, if not the best.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=Ugz4WpskVQlwQ6i5wCt4AaABAg</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=UgxnxQcrtYp-hF98cRh4AaABAg</ref> It was listed as a favorite match by {{Vel 17}}, {{ChrisGendo}}, {{AshcrementVII}}, {{Foghorn Scorpio}}, and {{Cyclejunkie}}.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/3.html#post-5002750</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223251</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223292</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223893</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3960469</ref> All three players are recognized positively for the work they contributed to this match; superkoffee for his signature whimsicality and mind-bending visual effects for the time, MycroProcessor for their daring stylistic reinventions and out-of-the-box way of approaching responses, most significantly in their Round 2 and Round 8, and TheChutley for creating one of the match's more defining images in Round 6 and for the outlandish humor put on display for her lengthy and comedic Round 9.

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 {{dew}} ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved. All other rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though TheChutley's rounds briefly disappeared off of YouTube between April and August 2011 due to an erroneous suspension that was successfully disputed. The match was first compiled into a single video on "Ytp Delivery System" in November 2020, subsequently compiled on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in August 2021, and later recompiled into a more high-quality version with better copies of the rounds on "TheChutley Archive" in October 2024.

[[superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley]] was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], taking place between September 2 and November 26, 2010. It was a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches, and one of 4 taking place within this set's "losers" bracket; every player in this bracket had already lost exactly one game previously in the tournament, and whoever lost their matches this set would be eliminated.

TheChutley had lost in the first set to Luioigi, but had defeated Futures Passed and vvaluigi in the second, and MycroProcessor had defeated ChrisGendo and JakeSteel in the first set but lost to GameBop in the second set.

Originally set to be {{DaftPunkYoshi}} vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley, DaftPunkYoshi (who defeated AmiralMachin and vvaluigi in the first set but lost to Metzgorrre in the second set) became unable to participate further in the tournament, and subsequently retired his legendary usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] in favor of [[Adobe Premiere]] Elements for his videos going forward. superkoffee, who had previously appeared as a one-off replacement in the Set 2 match [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor]] to make Round 7 in place of GameBop, stepped in again as a replacement for his first full tournament match, and the only one he would play in this competition.

This was the first match played by MycroProcessor to display a radical shift in their editing style, debuted for the first time in their Round 2, "I don't trust anyone". It was a change he additionally marked by uploading this video on their main channel, where their most visually complex and "impressive" work was usually posted, under the title "OH NO WHAT HAPPEN TO MYCRO HE WAS MY FAVOURITE TENNISER BUT NOW HE IS A". It was with this round that the tone and direction the match was to take was set, as all three players ended up making each of their rounds in this match incredibly distinctive from one another, and all taking bold creative directions with their responses. This match can be identified by its very musical and wandering first third, its frenetic and seemingly rushed second third, and then its climactic and long-form last third. Sources added include the Sid and Marty Krofft television shows ''The Bugaloos'', ''Lidsville'' and ''H.R. Pufnstuf'', audio from the long-running "Pirates of the Carribean" ride at Disneyland ("DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES...."), the ''Pokemon'' animated series, a video called "Celeberty Winter Advice with Geddy Lee", ''Riven''(PC, 1997), ''Pulseman''(Mega Drive, 1994), a video on the making of ''Reah: Face the Unknown''(PC, 1998), a then very recently released announcement trailer for ''Bioshock Infinite''(PS3/PC/Mac/Xbox 360, 2013), the Monty Python film ''And Now for Something Completely Different''(1971), a large amount of images and sprites of or containing the Pokemon eeveelutions Umbreon, Jolteon and Glaceon (meant to represent the three players of the match in their volleying order), an edited image of Nigel Thornberry from ''The Wild Thornberrys'', several images of ferries ("FERRY RAVE!"), the album cover of the 1981 Rush album ''Moving Pictures'', Rush's classic "Starman" logo, an instrumental FM synth rendition of the Yes song "Roundabout"(1972), the original recording of the Yes song "Heart of the Sunrise"(1972), and the Rush songs "Cygnus X-1: Book 2"(1978), "Show Don't Tell"(1989), "Distant Early Warning"(1984), "Jacob's Ladder"(1980), "Force Ten"(1987), "Where's My Thing? 'Part IV (Gangster of Boats Trilogy)'"(1991), "Hemispheres"(1978), "Limelight"(1981), "Xanadu"(1977), and "La Villa Strangiato"(1978). This is also among the earliest matches in which rounds are responded to with either filmed or screen recorded footage of each player's computer screen, as a creative way to both feature the previous round in an unusual way and to add more footage into the match. This would be done again with great effect in the [[MWTT Teal Set 2]] match(2013-2014).

superkoffee's voice appears in all three of his rounds in the match, offering a playful challenge to his volleying opponent in his Round 1 and 4. The first of these is an introduction to a signature novelty invention of his known as "The Secret Chroma Keyable Image"; he begins the match by offering it freely at the serve's end and instructing the opponent to "use it in the next round!". Another "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" appears has a hidden on-screen link in Round 4, which ends with a small quiz regarding "What will be the answer to this question?", providing four potential deliberately silly answers. {{MycroProcessor}} responds to these moments by using the first "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" in Round 2 and then answering the quiz question with "Sample Text" by putting this phrase in the corner of an opening segment in Round 5. Round 5 ends with a humorous non-sequitor segment of a 3D construct being dramatically zoomed in upon, revealing "{{Metroid998}}" rendered into its infastructure. MycroProcessor subsequently revealed this moment to be the product of a dream they had during the "Three-Way Tennis Tournament Commentary" livestreams in late 2014. Metroid998 himself remarked of this moment at the time in a now-deleted comment, "It's always been my dream to be a wire-frame building."

It was the fifth or sixth match completed by superkoffee, the 29th match completed by MycroProcessor and the 46th match completed by TheChutley. All players received an even 40% penalty due either to lateness or, in TheChutley's case, for round length, which kept no one player from finishing at a disadvantage.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-3035658</ref> superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley became an instant favorite of the younger contemporary community of the time, and has subsequently gone on to be considered as one of the best tennis matches ever played, if not the best.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=Ugz4WpskVQlwQ6i5wCt4AaABAg</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=UgxnxQcrtYp-hF98cRh4AaABAg</ref> It was listed as a favorite match by {{Vel 17}}, {{ChrisGendo}}, {{AshcrementVII}}, {{Foghorn Scorpio}}, and {{Cyclejunkie}}.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/3.html#post-5002750</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223251</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223292</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223893</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3960469</ref> All three players are recognized positively for the work they contributed to this match; superkoffee for his signature whimsicality and mind-bending visual effects for the time, MycroProcessor for their daring stylistic reinventions and out-of-the-box way of approaching responses, most significantly in their Round 2 and Round 8, and TheChutley for creating one of the match's more defining images in Round 6 and for the outlandish humor put on display for her lengthy and comedic Round 9.

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 {{dew}} ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved. All other rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though TheChutley's rounds briefly disappeared off of YouTube between April and August 2011 due to an erroneous suspension that was successfully disputed. The match was first compiled into a single video on "Ytp Delivery System" in November 2020, subsequently compiled on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in August 2021, and later recompiled into a more high-quality version with better copies of the rounds on "TheChutley Archive" in October 2024.

[[superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley]] was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], taking place between September 2 and November 26, 2010. It was a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches, and one of 4 taking place within this set's "losers" bracket; every player in this bracket had already lost exactly one game previously in the tournament, and whoever lost their matches this set would be eliminated. The winners bracket of this set was {{GameBop}} vs. {{Moogle}} vs. Metzgorrre, and the two losing players of this match would then mingle with the winning players in the losers bracket for two matches in Set 4. TheChutley had lost in the first set to Luioigi, but had defeated Futures Passed and vvaluigi in the second, and MycroProcessor had defeated ChrisGendo and JakeSteel in the first set but lost to GameBop in the second set.

Originally set to be {{DaftPunkYoshi}} vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley, DaftPunkYoshi (who defeated AmiralMachin and vvaluigi in the first set but lost to Metzgorrre in the second set) became unable to participate further in the tournament, and subsequently retired his legendary usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] in favor of [[Adobe Premiere]] Elements for his videos going forward. superkoffee, who had previously appeared as a one-off replacement in the Set 2 match [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor]] to make Round 7 in place of GameBop, stepped in again as a replacement for his first full tournament match, and the only one he would play in this competition.

[[ChrisGendo vs. superkoffee vs. GameBop vs. BoiSuxx]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between November 26, 2010 and May 3, 2011. All the players involved joined in the order in which they volley each other in this match; then-new player {{AshcrementVII}} was additionally almost a participant.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/18-tennis-in-progress/74197-chrisgendo-vs-superkoffee-vs-gamebop-vs-boisuxx/1.html#post-3036435</ref> This would be the only time that most of the players would face each other in any configuration; {{ChrisGendo}} and {{GameBop}} would later unsuccessfully attempt a 1v1 match that originally had {{superkoffee}} in the volleying position.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/18-tennis-in-progress/77744-chrisgendo-vs-gamebop/1.html</ref> BoiSuxx was formerly LieutenantBoi, and this was the only remotely close to "complete" tennis match he participated in under this alias. Sources added include ''Bakemonogatari''(including its Version 1 ending underscored by "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" by supercell), ''Revolutionary Girl Utena'', ''A Little Snow Fairy Sugar'', ''Pita-Ten'', ''Kukori Es Kotkoda'', ''Diplodo'', ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'', ''The Banana Splits'', ''Pee Wee's Playhouse'', ''Tri svište'', a serbo-croatian(?) animated short titled ''Pčela'', ''Krabat'', ''Super Meat Boy''(PC, 2010), a Chinese live-action parody of ''Doraemon'', "Souzou no Security"(2006) by Ling Tosite Segure, "The Spectrum Song"(1961) by Paul Frees (in character as Professor Ludwig Von Drake) and the Disneyland ticket scan sound effect(Round 6). ''[note: source list incomplete]''.

superkoffee's Round 2 was only 10 seconds long and mostly obscured any visible evidence of the previous round under an extravagant amount of effects and a recording of his own voice, leading to a Round 3 where GameBop made the effort to create a more linear progression by editing both Round 2 and the serve, and subsequently played the rest of the match responding to both superkoffee's and ChrisGendo's previous rounds. This created an amusing match scenario where both ChrisGendo and BoiSuxx also took part in using other previous rounds that were not the immediate previous at least once, while superkoffee remained alone in responding only to the immediate previous, with each of his rounds (and their titles) making for radical, individual departures that the other players found themselves revolving their responses around. His Round 10, "Beige and Asian"(2011), is often considered to be the best and most enjoyable round of this match as a result. GameBop's "Beige and Beige and beige and beige"(2011) is the de facto final round of the match, as BoiSuxx had by this time departed from tennis and never made a Round 12.

The thread remains in YouChew forum archives among the oldest to never be moved to the "Tennis: Forfeited and Failed" section, remaining forever in limbo in the "Tennis: In Progress" section. All rounds continue to survive in their original uploads except for {{superkoffee}}'s rounds, which were all preserved and eventually reuploaded on [[TennisFacksJr]] in January 2025. {{ChrisGendo}}'s Round 5 and Round 9 were privated for a period of time before becoming available to be viewed again sometime in 2020.

[[superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley]] was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]], taking place between September 2 and November 26, 2010. It was a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches, and one of 4 taking place within this set's "losers" bracket; every player in this bracket had already lost exactly one game previously in the tournament, and whoever lost their matches this set would be eliminated. The winners bracket of this set was {{GameBop}} vs. {{Moogle}} vs. Metzgorrre, and the two losing players of this match would then mingle with the winning players in the losers bracket for two matches in Set 4. TheChutley had lost in the first set to Luioigi, but had defeated Futures Passed and vvaluigi in the second, and MycroProcessor had defeated ChrisGendo and JakeSteel in the first set but lost to GameBop in the second set.

Originally set to be {{DaftPunkYoshi}} vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley, DaftPunkYoshi (who defeated AmiralMachin and vvaluigi in the first set but lost to Metzgorrre in the second set) became unable to participate further in the tournament, and subsequently retired his legendary usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] in favor of [[Adobe Premiere]] Elements for his videos going forward. superkoffee, who had previously appeared as a one-off replacement in the Set 2 match [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor]] to make Round 7 in place of GameBop, stepped in again as a replacement for his first full tournament match, and the only one he would play in this competition.

This was the first match played by MycroProcessor to display a radical shift in their editing style, debuted for the first time in their Round 2, "I don't trust anyone". It was a change he additionally marked by uploading this video on their main channel, where their most visually complex and "impressive" work was usually posted, under the title "OH NO WHAT HAPPEN TO MYCRO HE WAS MY FAVOURITE TENNISER BUT NOW HE IS A". It was with this round that the tone and direction the match was to take was set, as all three players ended up making each of their rounds in this match incredibly distinctive from one another, and all taking bold creative directions with their responses. This match can be identified by its very musical and wandering first third, its frenetic and seemingly rushed second third, and then its climactic and long-form last third. Sources added include the Sid and Marty Krofft television shows ''The Bugaloos'', ''Lidsville'' and ''H.R. Pufnstuf'', the ''Pokemon'' animated series, a video called "Celeberty Winter Advice with Geddy Lee", ''Riven''(PC, 1997), ''Pulseman''(Mega Drive, 1994), a video on the making of ''Reah: Face the Unknown''(PC, 1998), a then very recently released announcement trailer for ''Bioshock Infinite''(PS3/PC/Mac/Xbox 360, 2013), the Monty Python film ''And Now for Something Completely Different''(1971), a large amount of images and sprites of or containing the Pokemon eeveelutions Umbreon, Jolteon and Glaceon (meant to represent the three players of the match in their volleying order), an edited image of Nigel Thornberry from ''The Wild Thornberrys'', several images of ferries ("FERRY RAVE!"), the album cover of the 1981 Rush album ''Moving Pictures'', Rush's classic "Starman" logo, an instrumental FM synth rendition of the Yes song "Roundabout"(1972), the original recording of the Yes song "Heart of the Sunrise"(1972), and the Rush songs "Cygnus X-1: Book 2"(1978), "Show Don't Tell"(1989), "Distant Early Warning"(1984), "Jacob's Ladder"(1980), "Force Ten"(1987), "Where's My Thing? 'Part IV (Gangster of Boats Trilogy)'"(1991), "Hemispheres"(1978), "Limelight"(1981), "Xanadu"(1977), and "La Villa Strangiato"(1978). This is also among the earliest matches in which rounds are responded to with either filmed or screen recorded footage of each player's computer screen, as a creative way to both feature the previous round in an unusual way and to add more footage into the match. This would be done again with great effect in the [[MWTT Teal Set 2]] match(2013-2014).

superkoffee's voice appears in all three of his rounds in the match, offering a playful challenge to his volleying opponent in his Round 1 and 4. The first of these is an introduction to a signature novelty invention of his known as "The Secret Chroma Keyable Image"; he begins the match by offering it freely at the round's end and instructing the opponent to "use it in the next round!". Another "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" appears has a hidden on-screen link in Round 4, which ends with a small quiz regarding "What will be the answer to this question?", providing four potential deliberately silly answers. {{MycroProcessor}} responds to these moments by using the first "Secret Chroma Keyable Image" in Round 2 and then answering the quiz question with "Sample Text" by putting this phrase in the corner of an opening segment in Round 5. Round 5 ends with a humorous non-sequitor segment of a 3D construct being dramatically zoomed in upon, revealing "{{Metroid998}}" rendered into its infastructure. MycroProcessor subsequently revealed this moment to be the product of a dream they had during the "Three-Way Tennis Tournament Commentary" livestreams in late 2014. Metroid998 himself remarked of this moment at the time in a now-deleted comment, "It's always been my dream to be a wire-frame building."

It was the fifth or sixth match completed by superkoffee, the 29th match completed by MycroProcessor and the 46th match completed by TheChutley. All players received an even 40% penalty due either to lateness or, in TheChutley's case, for round length, which kept no one player from finishing at a disadvantage.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-3035658</ref> superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley became an instant favorite of the younger contemporary community of the time, and has subsequently gone on to be considered as one of the best tennis matches ever played, if not the best.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=Ugz4WpskVQlwQ6i5wCt4AaABAg</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PPM-sMPXGg&lc=UgxnxQcrtYp-hF98cRh4AaABAg</ref> It was listed as a favorite match by {{Vel 17}}, {{ChrisGendo}}, {{AshcrementVII}}, {{Foghorn Scorpio}}, and {{Cyclejunkie}}.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/3.html#post-5002750</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223251</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223292</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3223893</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/77990-your-favorite-tennis-matches/1.html#post-3960469</ref> All three players are recognized positively for the work they contributed to this match; superkoffee for his signature whimsicality and mind-bending visual effects for the time, MycroProcessor for their daring stylistic reinventions and out-of-the-box way of approaching responses, most significantly in their Round 2 and Round 8, and TheChutley for creating one of the match's more defining images in Round 6 and for the outlandish humor put on display for her lengthy and comedic Round 9. MycroProcessor declared at the match's conclusion that it was their favorite that he had ever participated in<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-3035658</ref>, and it was wondered by some as to how this lineup ended up in the losers bracket.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71729-superkoffee-vs-mycroprocessor-vs-thechutley-done-vote/1.html#post-2952965</ref> Ultimately, for his rounds having the most inventive approach of all three players and effectively steering the overall direction the strongest, MycroProcessor became the winner of this match.

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 {{dew}} ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved. All other rounds continue to survive in their original uploads, though TheChutley's rounds briefly disappeared off of YouTube between April and August 2011 due to an erroneous suspension that was successfully disputed. The match was first compiled into a single video on "Ytp Delivery System" in November 2020, subsequently compiled on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in August 2021, and later recompiled into a more high-quality version with better copies of the rounds on "TheChutley Archive" in October 2024.

'''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}} and {{infinitysnapz}}.

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: Techniques]]
{{stub}}
[[Source Interaction]] refers to the wide-ranging and flexible technique of different sources in a [[video tennis]] match "interacting" with each other in various ways. This can be done through either word association, direct conversational exchange, an opinionated response to another, implied shared space, implied mutual expressions, or physical synchronicity. This is a technique that has been widespread in [[Youtube Poop]] entirely since its earliest years and is not limited to a single style of playing tennis, though it is most often seen in matches driven largely by its sources rather than its editing. This technique carries directly over from pre-YTP video art in underground works such as the TV Carnage film ''A Sore For Sighted Eyes''(2007), the Pat Vamos film ''KRUNNK SHUTTLE''(2006), and ''Animal Charm: Golden Digest''(1996).

The earliest instance of source interaction in tennis occurred in the very first moment of the very first tennis match. In Round 1 of [[conradslater vs. Misselaineous10]](2007), Toad from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' points forward and exclaims, “There’s smoke signals!” before the video cuts to a woman smoking a cigarette from a 1970’s fetish video based around this act, implying that this is what Toad is pointing at. Luigi is subsequently implied to have been observing this with a somewhat fixated expression.

=Variations=

The simplest form of source interaction comes in the form of rounds that cut between sources in such a way that implies a shared relation, without any other flourishes to convey it. Sometimes this is done entirely with added sources, but is most effective when done using some part of the previous round interacting with a new addition, or two different parts of the previous round being edited to interact with themselves. This is not to be equated with a [[word replacement]] variation on [[sentence mixing]], but rather to create a unique space where characters from radically different pieces of media share some kind of connection with each other, most often humorous.

===Examples===

*In Round 3 of [[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]](2008), a character asks the crew of the ''Outlaw Star'' if they "got any money"; Kintaro from ''Golden Boy'' (from RAKninja's Round 2) answers by exclaiming "THOUSAND DOLLARS!".

*[[Moogle vs. theHappyFungus]](2008) is greatly defined by its use of source interactions themed around gun violence. From Round 3 onward, characters are often depicted as shooting at or being shot by each other, culminating in a climactic sequence in Round 6 where characters from across the match fire their weapons into extra characters from ''Rambo''(2008).

*In Round 4 of [[NS2 vs. RAKninja]](2009), the previous round and added material is all edited in synchronisation to audio from a theatrical trailer for the film ''Willow''(1988). An example of the effect this creates is during this dialogue: "A TIME WHEN A CHILD COULD TIP THE BALANCE BETWEEN GOOD (while showing footage of "Macho Man" Randy Savage) AND OF EVIL (while showing footage of Ben Bernanke). These characters are also implied to be acting out their respective parts in the chosen film through the edits that take place.

[[TheChutley vs. Crash2991]] is a [[Youtube Poop]]/[[video tennis]] match played as a part of the [[Tennis Season]], taking place between October 25 and 30, 2009. It was a part of the Week 13 lineup, the highly anticipated "6-Round Standard" variant, where matches were played vanilla with no special conditions. It represented the team match-up of 27-Layer Marble Cake vs. Incredible Laser Sword and was the only match that TheChutley played with a first generation member of the [[tennis staff]] to date. Sources added include ''Sgt. Frog''(''Keroro Gunsō''), YouTube videos of Yngwie Malmsteen("Heavy 'E' Phrygian" and "Arpeggios from Hell"), ''Tenchi Muyo'', ''Thunder Prince''<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2313753</ref>, ''Beavis and Butt-Head'', ''Bubblegum Crisis'', ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing'', ''Zelda: Wand of Gamelon''(CD-i, 1993), "VICTORY"(1987) by Kinuko Omori (from the OST album ''Bubblegum Crisis 3 Blow Up''(1987)), "Shiawase wa Tsumi no Nioi"(1996) by Yoko Takahashi(from the OST album ''Neon Genesis Evangelion III''(1996)), "Thrill Nu Odoru Angel Tachi"(1987) by Knight Sabers(from the OST album ''Bubblegum Crisis 2 Born To Kill''(1987)), "Swing Doors"(c. 1950) by Allan Gray, and the Ink Spots' cover of "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire"(1941), the last two of which both feature prominently in the game ''Fallout 3''(PC/PS3, 2008). The titles of the match are all in reference to "Bluck Mantasony's" pants, his propensity for wearing or not wearing them, and the pants' capacity for mutual attraction.

It was the 28th match completed by TheChutley<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1.html#post-934822</ref> and the 17th match completed by Crash2991.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1.html#post-934751 Chronoligically, this match is meant to be positioned between his three-way with TheDarkRises and XBR4D3NX, which completed in September 2009, and his match with Furnessly, which completed in November 2009. It was however one of two matches that were never recorded, along with his match with Temeku/MTB710 in the [[Tennis Cup]].</ref> TheChutley made the unique decision in this match to switch back to her original editor of choice, [[Adobe Premiere]], in allowing her to play in a style that was seen to be more suited to Crash2991's as well as being similar to the style he played in during the period in which he used [[Ulead VideoStudio]](2007-2008), complete with the matching use of ''Keroro Gunsō''. Similar to most matches played by TheChutley in her early years of tennis, her source additions are kept at a minimum after the serve, with much of the response technique going towards the remixing of the already existing material. This allows Crash2991's more regular and pronounced source additions to dominate almost immediately upon their introduction. It was Crash2991's fourth full match played and fifth match completed<ref>TheDarkRises vs. XBR4D3NX vs. Crash2991(2008-2009) lasted long enough to be his only match to feature both eras of his style, with Round 3 and 6 being made in Ulead and Round 9 being his sole round made in WMM.</ref> as a part of his "WMM Year"; with his usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] distinguished by stark minimalism, this match can arguably be considered to feature some of his "loudest" edits from this phase of his tennis output, as it is the only known match in which he utilizes the "rainbow" effect. Much of his response style is drastically slower, with long stretches of his rounds defined by almost silent slow-downs of selective clips, often utilizing the slowest clip speed possible in his editor to make subdued yet effective use of its unique audio artifacting in a humorous way. His decision to slow down TheChutley's addition of ''Zelda: Wand of Gamelon'' allows the match to become strongly defined in its second half by "King Harkinian's hearty and boisterous laugh", per retroactive description.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/thechutley-vs-crash2991-tennis-season.1288/post-18007</ref> The introduction of music in Round 3 allows for a progression through to the match's end where the editing becomes "soundtracked", and at various points the music from previous rounds overlaps into the music of the current round. In Round 6, Treize Khushrenada's monologue in ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing'' in which he proclaims "I'm telling you, I want to be a loser." punctuates as a noticeable break in the active music before it resumes -- Butt-Head's interjecting "You dumbass!" also acts as an effective moment of [[Source Interaction]].

Both players mutually enjoyed the exchange and were grateful for playing each other, with Crash2991 expressing regular excitement at the match's direction as it progressed.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2268013</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2275065</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2282973</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2283272</ref> It was additionally postively recieved by Emperor Ing, who called it his "favorite match of the week"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2313753</ref>, as well as by {{Moogle}}, Futures Passed, mYZterbattyX, MAZZ0Murder<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2284375</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2297115</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2313756</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2277135</ref> and quax94 -- a review was planned for the match by the latter that was never written.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2274970</ref> The final tournament match and the penultimate match altogether played by Crash2991, it was also the final match that he won, with 9 votes to 4.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/52235-poop-tennis-season-windows-movie-maker-miscreants-win/1.html#post-1808475</ref> TheChutley has retained a fondness for it, and has referenced back to it in her work as recently as in "Ed will show No Mercy for those whom lack the Hawt SAUAS, sorry bro!!"(2024), a Round 3 in a match with {{VidTens443}} that reuses its signature inclusion of ''Tenchi Muyo''. The match was first compiled into a single video in April/May 2011, during a strange period in which TheChutley's account was suspended, and was subsequently recompiled on her own "TheChutley Archive" account in June 2015.

Frog''(''Keroro Gunsō''), YouTube videos of Yngwie Malmsteen("Heavy 'E' Phrygian" and "Arpeggios from Hell"), ''Tenchi Muyo'', ''Thunder Prince''<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2313753</ref>, ''Beavis and Butt-Head'', ''Bubblegum Crisis'', ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing'', ''Zelda: Wand of Gamelon''(CD-i, 1993), "VICTORY"(1987) by Kinuko Omori (from the OST album ''Bubblegum Crisis 3 Blow Up''(1987)), "Shiawase wa Tsumi no Nioi"(1996) by Yoko Takahashi(from the OST album ''Neon Genesis Evangelion III''(1996)), "Thrill Nu Odoru Angel Tachi"(1987) by Knight Sabers(from the OST album ''Bubblegum Crisis 2 Born To Kill''(1987)), "Swing Doors"(c. 1950) by Allan Gray, and the Ink Spots' cover of "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire"(1941), the last two of which both feature prominently in the game ''Fallout 3''(PC/PS3, 2008). The titles of the match are all in reference to "Bluck Mantasony's" pants, his propensity for wearing or not wearing them, and the pants' capacity for mutual attraction.

It was the 28th match completed by TheChutley<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1.html#post-934822</ref> and the 17th match completed by Crash2991.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1.html#post-934751 Chronoligically, this match is meant to be positioned between his three-way with TheDarkRises and XBR4D3NX, which completed in September 2009, and his match with Furnessly, which completed in November 2009. It was however one of two matches that were never recorded, along with his match with Temeku/MTB710 in the [[Tennis Cup]].</ref> TheChutley made the unique decision in this match to switch back to her original editor of choice, [[Adobe Premiere]], in allowing her to play in a style that was seen to be more suited to Crash2991's as well as being similar to the style he played in during the period in which he used [[Ulead VideoStudio]](2007-2008), complete with the matching use of ''Keroro Gunsō''. Similar to most matches played by TheChutley in her early years of tennis, her source additions are kept at a minimum after the serve, with much of the response technique going towards the remixing of the already existing material. This allows Crash2991's more regular and pronounced source additions to dominate almost immediately upon their introduction. It was Crash2991's fourth full match played and fifth match completed<ref>TheDarkRises vs. XBR4D3NX vs. Crash2991(2008-2009) lasted long enough to be his only match to feature both eras of his style, with Round 3 and 6 being made in Ulead and Round 9 being his sole round made in WMM.</ref> as a part of his "WMM Year"; with his usage of [[Windows Movie Maker]] distinguished by stark minimalism, this match can arguably be considered to feature some of his "loudest" edits from this phase of his tennis output, as it is the only known match in which he utilizes the "rainbow" effect. Much of his response style is drastically slower, with long stretches of his rounds defined by almost silent slow-downs of selective clips, often utilizing the slowest clip speed possible in his editor to make subdued yet effective use of its unique audio artifacting in a humorous way. His decision to slow down TheChutley's addition of ''Zelda: Wand of Gamelon'' allows the match to become strongly defined in its second half by "King Harkinian's hearty and boisterous laugh", per retroactive description.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/thechutley-vs-crash2991-tennis-season.1288/post-18007</ref> The introduction of music in Round 3 allows for a progression through to the match's end where the editing becomes "soundtracked", and at various points the music from previous rounds overlaps into the music of the current round. In Round 6, Treize Khushrenada's monologue in ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing'' in which he proclaims "I'm telling you, I want to be a loser." punctuates as a noticeable break in the active music before it resumes -- Butt-Head's interjecting "You dumbass!" also acts as an effective moment of [[source interaction]].

Both players mutually enjoyed the exchange and were grateful for playing each other, with Crash2991 expressing regular excitement at the match's direction as it progressed.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2268013</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2275065</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2282973</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2283272</ref> It was additionally postively recieved by Emperor Ing, who called it his "favorite match of the week"<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2313753</ref>, as well as by {{Moogle}}, Futures Passed, mYZterbattyX, MAZZ0Murder<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2284375</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2297115</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2313756</ref><ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2277135</ref> and quax94 -- a review was planned for the match by the latter that was never written.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/46-tennis-season-completed/60400-week-13-27-lmc-thechutley-vs-ils-crash2991/1.html#post-2274970</ref> The final tournament match and the penultimate match altogether played by Crash2991, it was also the final match that he won, with 9 votes to 4.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/52235-poop-tennis-season-windows-movie-maker-miscreants-win/1.html#post-1808475</ref> TheChutley has retained a fondness for it, and has referenced back to it in her work as recently as in "Ed will show No Mercy for those whom lack the Hawt SAUAS, sorry bro!!"(2024), a Round 3 in a match with {{VidTens443}} that reuses its signature inclusion of ''Tenchi Muyo''. The match was first compiled into a single video in April/May 2011, during a strange period in which TheChutley's account was suspended, and was subsequently recompiled on her own "TheChutley Archive" account in June 2015.

The Tennis Season was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] event hosted primarily by {{RabbitSnore}} that ran from June to November of 2009, concurrently with the [[Windows Movie Master]] and later with the beginning of the [[Grey Tennis Tournament]]. It is the seventh tennis tournament overall. An entirely new and unique calibur of competitive play, the layout was to treat a tournament like something akin to American football - there were "gameweeks" where matches of certain distinct types would be played. Players competed on "teams" and each had "powers" they could use during matches to give them an advantage (or their opponent a disadvantage) with the players of each team all working together to collectively gain match win points. The eventual winners of this event would be a team made up of Emperor Ing, Cristoph, Quax, RideTheCatfish and MrDrunkenFox, almost all of whom used WMM, and as such went by the team name of The Windows Movie Maker Miscreants. The host account used for this tournament went under the name of Keanu Reeves. Further seasons were planned to happen every subsequent summer, but this remains the only competition of this variant to have been played.

This would be the first tennis competition to feature the participation of {{ChrisGendo}}, JakeSteel, AmiralMachin, eletricalmonkss, wwefan3333, piodx, {{Metroid998}}, Combuskenisawesome, lordbababa, and rapskallionxyz/mYZterbattyX, and the final tennis competition to feature {{RabbitSnore}}, {{Crash2991}}, {{theHappyFungus}}, {{strong414bad}}, Aesaun, zacheatscrackers, JazzDanceForChildren, TheRoboticRobot, TheSfarioBros, Erarg and Emperor Ing. It was additionally the only tennis competition to feature CommanderSky, GasmaskAvenger, Malkmusian, ampithecat, InsinerateHymn, architect1, MorfGworfmim, TyrannosaurusReich, Blueseraph, ButtonsTheDragon, SesakaGenX, Bya, PolyCement, NEVERGONNAGETIT92000, MVJ52197, TheAirPump, olfi500, Arkunos, shroomhead1, RideTheCatfish, {{MrDrunkenFox}} and smog133.

=Layout=
There were fifteen "gameweeks", each with a different style of match play. These were:
# 4-Round League Official
# 4-Round Single Source
# 6-Round Limited
# 4-Round Wildcard
# 4-Round Doubles
# 4-Round League Official
# 3-Round Poop [[Duel]]
# 4-Round Single Source
# 4-Round League Official
# 3-Round Poop Duel
# 4-Round Wildcard
# 6-Round Limited
# 6-Round Standard
# 4-Round League Official
# 4-Round League Official

==Variant Styles==

The rules for each variant went by the following, some borrowed directly from RabbitSnore's established Official Rules:

===League Official===

- Rounds: 4. 
- Video Length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes. 
- Required Usage: At least 20 seconds of the previous round. This rule is rarely an issue and is rarely enforced. 
- Materials: Up to three sources introduced per video. 

When a source is introduced in a League match, documentation is especially important. A source can refer to a video or series of videos, depending on how it is documented. For example, AoStH: Full Tilt Tails could be one source or AoStH could be one source. In the former case, if the volley includes clips from Full Tilt Tails, even if the clips were not used in any previous round, it does not count as introduction of a new source. In the latter case, any and all clips from AoStH could be used without counting as a new source added. 

- Turnover: 36 hours, unless a reason is given ahead of time for a delay.

===Round Poop Duel===

A Poop Duel is not a Tennis variant in strict terms, since it does not involve remixing prior rounds. Rather, each participant makes videos based on common source material.

A round of a Poop Duel comprises a video from each participant. A standard Duel, then, consists of three rounds for a total of six videos. Participants do not remix each other's videos.

Before each round, each participant adds a source video to a common pool of materials. When making videos, participants are limited to using the material introduced to this common pool. One more video per participant is added before each subsequent round, so the pool of material increases as rounds proceed. Players compete to see who can make the best video using only the material in the common pool.

-Rounds: 3. 
-Video Length: No restrictions. 
-Required Usage: Previous rounds not used. 
-Materials: Common pool. 
-Turnover: 36 hours.

===Round Doubles===

Each round, including the serve, is done as a collaborative effort between the two poopers of the respective team. One pooper should make a poop video with sequences of pooped footage and several areas of blank video, without sound or visual. In these areas of blank space, the second pooper of the team adds his or her own edited footage, as well as minimally editing the footage made by his or her partner. The emphasis should be on working with the partner instead of against him or her.

The video resulting from the collaboration is the serve. The volley of the serve is done in a similar fashion: one pooper from the opposed team remixes the previous round, just as in singles tennis, though leaves blank spaces in which his or her partner can add his or her own footage. The second editing pooper should also use material from the previous round, if so desired.

-Rounds: 4, collaborative. 
-Video Length: No restrictions. 
-Required Usage: No restrictions. 
-Materials: No restrictions. 
-Turnover: 60 hours. 

===6-Round Limited===

- Rounds: 6. 
- Video Length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes. 
- Required Usage: At least 20 seconds of the previous round. This rule is rarely an issue and is rarely enforced. 
- Materials: Up to three sources introduced per video. 

When a source is introduced in a League match, documentation is especially important. A source can refer to a video or series of videos, depending on how it is documented. For example, AoStH: Full Tilt Tails could be one source or AoStH could be one source. In the former case, if the volley includes clips from Full Tilt Tails, even if the clips were not used in any previous round, it does not count as introduction of a new source. In the latter case, any and all clips from AoStH could be used without counting as a new source added.

- Turnover: 48 hours.

===6-Round Standard===

- Rounds: 6. 
- Video Length: No restrictions. 
- Required Usage: No restrictions. 
- Materials: No restrictions. 
- Turnover: 48 hours.

===4-Round Wildcard===

Prior to each round, the player opposing the serving or volleying player creates a single restrictive rule that governs that round. The restriction can apply to material, length, technique, or nearly anything within reason. Restrictions are adjudicated by the judges of the tourney if contended to be unfair.

- Rounds: 4. 
- Video Length: No restrictions. 
- Required Usage: No restrictions. 
- Materials: No restrictions. 
- Turnover: 36 hours.

===4-Round Single Source===

- Rounds: 4. 
- Video Length: No restrictions. 
- Required Usage: No restrictions. 
- Materials: One source (as per League Official definition), as selected by the serving player. The source must be available to both players equally. 
- Turnover: 36 hours.

=Teams & Players=
This competition is well-known for being the largest single event to take place on the YouChew Forums with the largest amount of newcomer players (many of them one-offs) as well as the only tournament in which a traditional team system was used. The team system was to allow players the benefit of players not having to play 5 straight months of tennis, as they could work around their personal schedules thusly. A total of 16 teams of players with a combined 82 total players took part and were the following by team with abilities used by each player<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/54877-poop-tennis-season-roster-and-statistics/1.html</ref>:
