YouWouldBeWelcome

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, tournament or 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 archival and "archeology" side of the community.

Matches were originally compiled manually in archivists' video editing software and done in multiple varying presentation styles and resolutions, allowing attentive/knowledgeable viewers to 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 "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, and 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.

The name "YouWouldBeWelcome" is a play on the title of the first tennis round from the first tennis match ever played, conradslater's "Poop Tennis: You wouldn't be welcome"(2007). Remaster campaigns are planned for many pre-2024 matches that were rendered in 720p or lower, with the first one undertaken on December 2, 2025.
