The '''Match Voting Tournament 2''' (abbreviated as '''MVT2''') was a [[Tennis Tournament]] hosted by {{mrdoognoog}} in 2021. It was the 18th tournament held overall, the second tournament in the "match voting" style, and the second tournament of the [[YTPMania]] era.  
The '''Match Voting Tournament 2''' (abbreviated as '''MVT2''') was a [[Tennis Tournament]] hosted by {{mrdoognoog}} in 2021. It was the 18th tournament held overall, the second tournament in the "match voting" style, and the second tournament of the [[YTPMania]] era.  


Codenamed "TTournament 2021", it was long discussed whether to have the next tournament be match voting or [[DC4|another Doubles Cup]]. It was eventually decided that the Match Voting concept was best to bring over to the budding tennis community on YTPMania (as many players from MVT did not return) and move Doubles Cup 4 next in line. This was the first of three tournaments to use the voting account "tournamentacc", described by mrdoognoog as "almost entirely utilitarian" due to Smonge, YTPMania's owner, having a strictness about alt accounts and the "lapse of YouChew knowledge" regarding the community's past history with being more playful with these accounts.<ref>https://ytptennis.com/w/images/d/d2/About_tournamentacc.png Screenshot from Discord</ref>

Unlike multiple tournaments that occurred around it, the 7 month span of this competition makes it the shortest tennis event of more than three sets to have occurred in the 2020s so far.


The two winners were {{mrdoognoog}} and {{system128}}. {{system128}} became the third ever player to win two tournaments, and the second ever player to win them both consecutively. This is {{mrdoognoog}}'s first (and so far only) tournament win.
MVT2 was the first tournament to feature {{Boundless}}, DavidYTP and {{ApproximateOstrich}}, the last tournament to feature Morshe, {{hyk}}, {{BENT_DATA}}, and gsgiraffes, and the only tournament to feature Nonojuju, GirlaPH, Spot Mark, {{Ananas1234}}, {{Mr. Trollinator}}, {{java}}, captaingoosehead and 40Two. {{GameBop}}, {{CheeChee}} and {{CRJ1}} would not play in another tournament until the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]] in 2024.

This match, also known as '''Everywhere at the End of Tennis''', followed a similar dementia pattern that was explored in the Caretaker's ''Everywhere at the End of Time'' series of albums. Like the music it was inspired by (and the actual condition), the rounds begin to "forget" themselves as time goes on before eventually devolving into straight static.
