Ultrasimplicity Tennis is a type of tennis that involves incredibly strict restrictions placed on what is allowed to be done.
[[Ultrasimplicity Tennis]] is a type of [[tennis]] where the editing style is intentionally limited to an extreme amount. While originating as a response to the increasingly complex tennis meta, in instead became complex in its own way, seeing how much could be limited in a match while still keeping the key ideas of tennis intact. Over the years this idea has spread to [[YTP]] and various collaborations.


==Rules==
=Rules=
* No plugins could be used of any kind, similar to [[NoPlug]]
* ''No plugins'' (or ''any'' video or audio effects for that matter) can be used of any kind ([[NoPlug]])
* Videos could not be reversed, panned or cropped, sped up or slowed down
* ''Two tracks'', one for video and one for audio. Nothing else
* Transitioning, fading, and layering videos are also not allowed
* Videos can not be ''[[Reversing|reversed]]'', ''panned/cropped'', ''sped up/slowed down'', or ''[[Pitch Shifting|pitch-shifted]]''
* [[Transitions|Transitioning]], opacity changes (fading, etc.), as well as layering videos on top of each other are also not allowed
* All footage must be quantized to frames (if applicable) - no [[Stutter Loops#Hyperstuttering|hyperstuttering]] or other related techniques
* A source's audio and video ''can'' be separated and edited individually
* Add at least ''one source'' per round<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/the-poop-tennis-cafe/168/1106</ref>


==History==
=History=
The concept was initially thought of by ClassicBirch before the idea was expanded upon into a match with mrdoognoog. The style was largely response to the increasingly complex technical nature that modern tennis had become. Initially, the idea was to create a tennis format similar to the Simplicity Collabs, however it eventually ended up going even further with the restrictions to test the limits on what was possible. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLApT4ypNEuw20Q7WYChAq2GmYjWeivnXi

Later on, a Russian collab in the format was completed.  
The original idea for Ultrasimplicity came as a derivative of the ''simplicity collabs'': a series of [[YTP]] collaborations started by {{Smonge}} with the following rules:
 
* ''No plugins'' (or ''any'' video or audio effects for that matter) can be used of any kind ([[NoPlug]])
* Three layers maximum (3 video, 2 audio + 1 video, etc.)
 
The concept was initially thought of by {{ClassicBirch}} before the idea was expanded upon into a match with {{mrdoognoog}}. The [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLApT4ypNEuw20Q7WYChAq2GmYjWeivnXi match] played from the 13th to the 15th of December 2020, showing how quickly one could be made.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/ultrasimplicity-tennis-mrdoognoog-vs-classicbirch/9386</ref> This led to a large influx of similar matches with others wanting to try the style out.
 
==Collabs==
 
There were two collaborations based on the ultrasimplicity concept. The first one was by gsgiraffes and released on August 24th, 2021. <ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/the-ultrasimplicity-collab/10850/162</ref> The second was on by the RYTP community October 23rd, 2022 (''ультрасимл фестиваль'', English:"UltraSimple Festival"<ref>Google Translate</ref>), hosted by {{autoxy}}.
