[[YouWouldBeWelcome]] is the official archive of YTP/Video Tennis matches as based on YouTube, managed primarily by the [[tennis staff]] and active since September 29, 2019. Originally "maniafax", it was created initially for the purpose of compiling tournament matches from tennis events organized on [[YTPMania]] before transitioning into being the center for all known tennis matches not yet compiled into single videos to be done so. While multiple accounts on YouTube exist that are related to YouWouldBeWelcome and serve the same purpose, the "official" moniker is due to the account being managed by those with the organizational roots leading back to the [[YouChew]] forums, where YTP/Video Tennis originated. Active or important contributors to this accounts operations over the years have been {{dani_phantump}}, {{VidTens443}}, {{infinitysnapz}}, {{gabrielpika}}, and {{Yottifferent}}.

Detailed measures are taken to make sure that matches compiled present as accurate information as possible - the players involved, the span of time matches took place, [[tennis tournament|tournament]] or [[Tennis Terminology|unusual variant]] designations, and links to the creators channels at minimum - are compiled in 1080p quality at the baseline, and that the best quality rounds available are used in compiling to present each player's work with care and respect. Matches are not compiled if there are rounds missing, making operations in this part of the tennis community inextricably linked with the [[Tennis Archives|archival]] and "archeology" side of the community.

More exceptions to this are being made in the present day if the only missing round is either the first or the last round of the match, to allow for what survives to be seen in the most linear form possible. JakeSteel vs. AmiralMachin vs. evilskittlemonster(2010) from the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] is the only case of a match allowed a compilation despite a round from the middle of the match remaining lost, in this case AmiralMachin's Round 8, due to its known brevity of length and limited availability upon its initial upload.
 
Matches were originally compiled manually in archivists' video editing software and done in multiple varying presentation styles and resolutions, allowing attentive/knowledgeable viewers to easily know who was behind what spread of compilations on the channel. The [[GameSetMatch]] tool became the primary way matches were compiled from April 11, 2025 onward, with NS2 vs. WowComics(2008) becoming the first match to be presented with such a method. This has allowed the rate at which matches were compiled to increase astronomically due to much of the sequencing and designations of material to all become automated through scripting. The [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]] match gabrielpika vs. ElijahStar vs. Media904(2025) was the final match to be compiled manually as the standard. Manual compilation has since only been used in special cases such as Kurkop vs. GameBop(2013) and GameBop vs. MycroProcessor(rematch #3)(2011) -- both [[Multiplied Time Tennis]] matches that began with one frame of video, as a way to play the entirety of what was produced all at once (in both cases, only about one second of total material) before also showing the individual rounds with their given titles. GameSetMatch was still used for the latter match in order to generate title cards in isolation.
 
The "Edmondsbury Serif" font commonly used in the lettering of the title cards for most match compilations originates from {{dani_phantump}}, who hit upon using this font as their preferred consistent way of presenting matches starting with their compilation of Moogle vs. MAZZ0Murder(2009) in early 2024. This was thus adapted as the primary font of the GameSetMatch tool. Other contributors such as {{Yottifferent}} and {{mrdoognoog}} generally distinguish their compilations with other fonts and color alterations to the text generated. On rare occasions, already compiled matches whose original uploads were removed will be reuploaded onto the account in their original presentation, such as a handful of Combuskenisawesome's match compilations and LeSuperKoffee's 1/4 and 1/5 second matches.
