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

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 last participated in Doubles Cup 4, and trepmaws returned after having last participated in the Doubles Cup 3, having previously missed his chance to join the 3-Way Tennis Tournament 2.

An early idea for the GTT2 logo, where the tennis ball seen in the GTT logo would become a more pronounced "II".

Layout

Like the original Grey Tennis Tournament, it was designed very similarly to the first Tennis Cup. This included the choice made to retain the old-school source limits of early tennis event standards, with each round made within each match not being allowed to use or add more than three sources, as an added challenge for a generation of tennisers who had up to this point become conditioned in the 16 years that followed the original event with limitless source usage in their rounds. With source usage having become a lot more flexible in terms of the types of media that could be used in tennis responses, dani_phantump drafted up a post in YellowTealPurple's "Video Tennis Rules" thread that specifically stipulated what counted as one source used and what didn't. Also like previous tournaments with source limits, Music and audio-only sources remained free reign, not counting as one source.[1]

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. The total roster of players were[2]:

  • mrdoognoog

  • Infernal Toad
  • TehShadzify

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 Yottifferent and TehShadzify) finishing well before the set even started.
