Among a handful of matches to establish a private Discord chat for the purpose of match/player coordination, the match was incredibly "anarchistic" in nature, with all three players playing in a much more carefree nature of tennis that is rare in tournaments, let alone regular tennis. Out of the three {{ivan}} had the closest rounds to be what could be considered "traditional", however this is also still a stretch. Rounds would vary wildly in length and quality, sometimes not even noticably using the previous round. The titles of each round have virtually no correlation to each other as well. In the match thread, many rounds are intentionally wrongly labeled; for example, the serve is labeled as a 1v1 vs InfernaL Toad. <ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/set-2-gnarpyfan4000-v-bortloco-v-raymanchrome-done-vote.1235/</ref> | Among a handful of matches to establish a private Discord chat for the purpose of match/player coordination, the match was incredibly "anarchistic" in nature, with all three players playing in a much more carefree nature of tennis that is rare in tournaments, let alone regular tennis.

A similar approach is done with {{Ivan}}'s round 8 as well. RaymanChrome's round 3 begins with a Plotagon scene venting Rayman's direct frustration of being put in a lineup that once again had him in a rematch with previous opponents. Meta-references were made to the tournament in multiple places, in particular the appearance of Jonathan Frakes (the host account of the tournament). | ||
{{slabsten}}'s round 4 was released with a length of around ten seconds and used little if any of the previous round. When it was pointed out this would give him a penalty as the tournament rules enforce a 20 second round minimum, the original round was deleted and reuploaded at 50% speed to avoid this. {{Ivan}}'s round 5 and RaymanChrome's round 6 can be seen as the most "traditional" rounds of the match, with their styles being quite similar to their "regular" works at the time. This was not to last, however, with {{slabsten}}'s 15 minute monster of a round 7 throwing all tradition out the window with a visual assault of various memes, TV station indents/logos and cartoon clips. A notable repetition is the use of the "Gospel Chicken" ''Nickelodeon'' bumper (1993) throughout the round and the plotline of "Skidibi Meals".
