<p>InfinitySnapz: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Techniques]]<br /> <br /> '''Content-Aware Scaling''' - sometimes known as Seam Carving - is a technique where a piece of footage is scaled ''in respect to the content''. It is most commonly done in [[Photoshop]] through its built in features, however this can be (with difficulty) replicated in other editors as well.<br /> <br /> =Usage=<br /> The intended use of Content-Aware Scaling is to "scale up" the "important" parts of the frame to fill the whole area. For example, if you took a picture of a house but it only takes up a third of the screen (you want it at least half), the house would be scaled up and everything else would be squashed out of it. At smaller levels this works fine, but when set to the extreme you can create incredibly distorted images!<br /> <br /> ==Using Photoshop==<br /> To help with this "side effect", a script exists:<br /> https://neilblr.com/post/42948042669<br /> <br /> which applies the fill to each layer of your current project. You can also keyframe to make the scale "worse" over time. Because this is based on layers, anything that can be imported as such into Photoshop will work. Then, just export however you see fit.<br /> <br /> =Examples=<br /> ==In [[Tennis]]==<br /> <br /> ==Not in Tennis==</div>

<p>InfinitySnapz: /* YellowTealPurple Era */ added more context about 3WTT2 and how it relates to TC5</p> <hr /> <div>'''Tennis Tournaments''' (often referred to just as '''tournaments''') are are special [[tennis]] events held by the community, often the [[Tennis Staff|staff]], where players "compete" against one another by playing matches to determine a winner. Tournaments can go as long as a single season to over a year, depending on their scale. Anywhere from eight to forty-eight plus players will duke it out to see who is, subjectively, "the best"; but as competitive as these may be, it is important to never forget the Golden Rule: '''No one wins at tennis, ever!'''<br /> <br /> [[File:Goldenrule.jpeg|thumb|alt=No one wins at tennis, ever!|The golden rule of tennis.]]<br /> <br /> Forum sites will often have accolades for participating in tournament matches and a rarely-given one for if a tournament is won; on the [[YouChew]] forums it was usually a micro-sized render of a standard real-life tennis trophy, having been used in its most familiar form from July 2010 until September 2018. Since 2019, when {{dew}} designed a new version of the award for YTPMania<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tennis-badge-request-backlog-goes-here/4528/15</ref>, the "Golden Cube of Victor" has gone to the tournament winner. Expanding on a YouChew-era award of a "silver wreath" for completing 10 tournament matches, various "precious metal"-themed tennis racquet badges also go to players who have won (or later on, participated in) enough individual tournament matches, now accounting for 1, 10, 25, and 40 tournament matches played<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/29/awarded-list</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/30/awarded-list</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/31/awarded-list</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/32/awarded-list</ref>. Even if players end up winning more than a single tournament, every winner only ever receives one maximum.<br /> <br /> = History =<br /> The official tennis 'canon' can be viewed in the [[ List of Tennis Tournaments]].<br /> <br /> ==The Beginning==<br /> A sense of competition pervaded the aura of video tennis from the time it was first concieved. Conrad Slater made note to stiplify in the first ever wanted thread for a casual match, eventually answered by Miss10, that the match was to have "no winner"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/79347-1st-ever-poop-tennis-game-conradslater-vs-misselaineous10/1</ref>. Being that he was inspired to adapt [[Photoshop Tennis]] to the medium of video, he could have observed this competitive element in the existing Photoshop Tennis communities of the time. Nonetheless, it was considered a standard in tennis' very early days that most tennis matches usually had a poll where viewers could vote on which of the two players won. Due to tennis still being seen as nothing more than a curiosity, as well as the sense of "winning" never really amounting to anything, this ultimately became phased out of general tennis conduct very quickly.<br /> <br /> At a certain point during Conrad Slater's reign over the [[YouChew]] forums however, when the site had its deepest investment in chronicling the progression and growth of [[YouTube Poop]] as a whole, Conrad actually stipulated a requirement that those who wanted to be "featured" as a creator on the site had to participate in at least one tennis match as a requisite. This system became abolished fairly quickly, as this ended up happening towards the end of his era of prominence. {{RabbitSnore}} in particular was known to champion much more of a laid-back approach to community operations, especially regarding tennis. Amusingly, while Conrad was immediately against the idea of tennis ever being organized as tournaments, Rabbit was by contrast welcoming of them, seeing their potential for bringing the community together in a spirit of fun. <br /> <br /> The [[Tennis League 1|first tennis tournament]] was hosted by Gallers in late 2007, based on a billiards league they played in at the time. RabbitSnore played a big hand in allowing this event to even take place - he had at that point already become a figure Conrad trusted, and was able to convince him to let it take place, along with assuring his own participation. There were only four players, with the other three being SushieBoy, Misslaineous10, and PapaGonzales, who ended up being the (unwilling) winner of this event. While there were yet to be any such trophies for winning tennis tournaments yet, subsequent award implementations on future versions of the forums always featured a trophy for this achievement, and it was always given to PapaGonzales as his only site award. Gallers would be responsible for starting what are now credited as the first four "official" tournaments to occur on these forums, though his participation and commitment would lessen with each one.<br /> <br /> ==[[YouChew]] era==<br /> The proper YouChew era of tennis tournaments is considered to have begun with the [[Tennis Cup]]. It was the first tournament to occur during the Rabbit/TINS era, and the first tournament where the [[tennis staff]] had become established as a central element to the tennis community. All members that would be on the staff during the event participated, and one({{NS2}}) even made it [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2|to the final match.]]<br /> <br /> Up until about the end of the [[Tennis League 3]], an ill-fated event which became considered failed after only a month, competitive tennis was seen to have been at its most freewheeling, with players clearly participating out of a sense of mutual enjoyment. As the initial events mostly took place as a way to bring people together and play matches entirely, there was no clear "meta" for victory in competitive matches up to this point; players clearly engaged matches in the ways that they felt most comfortable, and whether or not they won was purely by fortunate happenstance. A clear moment when this began to change can be identified with the beginning with the [[Doubles Cup 1]], the first tournament in which the tennis staff assumed control and influence over their taking place. The match of Terrorist + Nuthead vs. GameBop + MycroProcessor(2008) ended up failing after only 4 rounds, with no collaborative rounds being made, due to Terrorist finding tennis becoming "more competitive and serious than it is fun" and subsequently deciding to retire from it:<br /> <br /> <small>"I don't like the way Tennis is now, Effects everywhere, Videos flying around, and just [loud distorted audio] with it."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153594</ref> <br /> <br /> "Fun: Making the Previous round funnier, Better, and more enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Competitive: Making the round have loads of Ear rape, Lots of effects, Making the round more Non-enjoyable."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153714</ref> -Terrorist, December 29, 2008</small><br /> <br /> Tennis staff member {{Crash2991}} was in agreement:<br /> <br /> <small>"Well, it has sorta become competitive. Several players have made it become competitive and made several others think that it was supposed to be the uptight thing, rather than just playing around with each other's videos and showing them to each other."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153647</ref><br /> </small><br /> <br /> From a modern perspective, while the original nature and spirit of tennis was well embodied and understood in this period, the frontier of what could be achieved in terms of finding one's unique editing style still had an immense amount of unexplored territory, and these sentiments seemed to surface as a reaction against styles that were unfamiliar and potentially abrasive to those unaccustomed to them. This is supported by posts made by {{Moogle}} in this conversation, where they were more embracing of the different ways that people were finding their own fun in the ways they played tennis:<br /> <br /> <small>"I don't think there's any clash between "fun" and "competitive" tennis in the league. [GameBop] and Mycro are certainly enjoying remixing videos in their preferred styles. The only clash to speak of is the one between styles, and there's no need to remind that, despite each style having its own things to be adored, that the kind of style GameBop has is a lot more difficult to respond to than yours, and it gives the other team a big advantage in the match.<br /> <br /> It's sad that you and Nuthead aren't willing to continue what to me was the most interesting match in the tourney, but don't blame it all on those doing the complicated editing."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153637</ref></small><br /> <br /> Whatever the case, a schism began to develop for the first time here, and the community at large began to ascribe many of their own individual values as to what made a good tennis round, especially with regards to this developing competitive context. The final match of the [[Doubles Cup 1]] became AjaxCubed + Aesaun vs. MycroProcessor + GameBop(2009), a lineup composed entirely of high intensity, high effect players, three of whom were still relatively new to the community as a whole. It can be argued that the reason that AjaxCubed and Aesaun won this tournament was entirely due to the execution of a 3D visual effect in Final Cut Pro 7 by the former player almost never before seen by the community at the time, gaining them their votes purely from the impression. In the early posts of the Tennis Theory thread on [[YellowTealPurple]], this was a theory posited by {{dew}} as she began to attempt to chronicle the journey of tennis to the present day<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/tennis-theory-five-oh-build-me-up-and-tear-me-down.15/post-4873</ref>.<br /> <br /> At some point during this early period, an image macro containing the phrase in impact font text "NO ONE WINS AT TENNIS EVER" began to get posted and circulated around the tennis section. This has since become embraced as the Golden Rule of tennis, a foundational principle upon which to remember to allow players to remember that fun, above victory, is what matters most in tennis. {{dew}} has subsequently referred to the very concept of tennis tournaments as the "Great Riddle" of tennis, outlining the question "How do you win in a game where no one wins?", with the answer intended to be that there isn't - or shouldn't be - any strictly defined way to do so.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/tennis-theory-five-oh-build-me-up-and-tear-me-down.15/post-21591</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-three-way-tennis-tournament-ii-intermission-period.653/post-22775</ref><br /> <br /> Ultimately though, the readiness of the community at the time to fully and truly embrace this philosophy was either slow, scattershot or questionable at best potentially due to the social competitive nature of the rest of YouChew itself. 2009 in particular is seen as an era where the constituency for "simple, classic" tennis competed directly with the "complex, effect-based" constituency for attention across multiple tournaments that took place that year, though it was almost always done out of a positive, good-natured spirit. The [[Windows Movie Master]], [[Tennis Season]] and [[Grey Tennis Tournament]] all saw matches played separately in both camps of style preference as well as matches with a player each representing either side becoming directly matched with each other, leading to exchanges of near diametric opposite approaches such as piodx vs. RAKninja(2009), GameBop vs. Emperor Ing(2009), and [[vvaluigi vs. MycroProcessor]](2009). Around this same time, complex and heavy editing began to very definitively take over the very nature of tennis itself, as players such as {{CorruptionSound}}, rapskallionxyz, Skrimpish, DanielRadcliffe777 and Sploltoen either entered into the community already steeped in this language of editing out the gate or began to truly become prominent as they took on many elements of this language of editing that became part of their signature. During this era, older players such as TangerineImpz continued to express grievances with "what tennis has become" in regards to their own disenchantment<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/57018-the-gray-tennis-tournament-champion-revealed/1</ref>. From late 2009 onward, a lot of these earlier generations of players would leave the game behind entirely. <br /> <br /> The turn of the 2010's now saw competitive "metas" for tennis fully setting in with regards to how the continued influx of players was now interpreting it; as a result of many older players withdrawing from the scene marking a decline in their school of thought around tennis, a sizeable portion of the community was coming to believe that a prowess with cutting edge and well-presented visual/audio effects and dense, intricate editing was the way that "good" tennis was played, at times regardless of how the previous round was used at all. The [[Grey Tennis Tournament]], [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] and the [[Doubles Cup 2]] all saw their final matches make up players who advanced that far at least somewhat embodying this. <br /> <br /> The final match of the Grey Tennis Tournament([[piodx vs. GameBop]](2010)) and the final match of the Doubles Cup 2(dani_phantump + robochao1 vs. ChrisGendo + AshcrementVII(2012)) were instances where an important distinction around this approach prevailed in regards to both match's winners; it was not how well the previous round was edited by the winning player, but how the previous round was "used" in and of itself, in terms of the ideas created/responded to and the overall creativity of the responses themselves. Even through the gradually increasing misconceptions magnified through a competitive lens, enough players still existed in this era with a passion and a knowledge for tennis to know how to engage with it like they believed tennis should be and how they remembered it being played in years previous. As the tennis community entered into the 2010s, it was these older players who led the community and hosted subsequent tournaments, with {{ChrisGendo}}, {{AshcrementVII}}, and {{trepmaws}} being particularly prominent as figures of influence between 2010 and 2013. Under this collective of like minded players and staff members, a balance attempted to be struck with all styles being united in an exploration towards playing the best, most quality matches that could be played, which was explored throughout the [[Doubles Cup 2]], [[Tennis Cup 4]] and the [[Triples Tennis Tournament]]s. The Tennis Cup 4 saw a number of older, memorable players return for one last time, making for some of the more enduring matches of the tournament - its final match, CorruptionSound vs. GreatBritishTurd(2012), was made up of two players who either embodied or had come to embody a cohesive, creative and dynamic mixture of the modern editing tricks and the more classic, fun sensibility of responding to ideas in fun, humorous and especially inventive ways. Despite these high moments, the community continued to dwindle in size, as certain older players and others with simpler styles continued to withdraw feeling unable to match up to the competitiveness that seemed to fully exist and not stop growing with regards to the intensity of the complex editing sported by largely newer players.<br /> <br /> A pressure point occurred at the end of the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]] in late 2014, an event that went through many replacements and moments of organizational chaos before finally having both a newcomer and replacement player, {{LaVieCestLol}}, come out winning its final match<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/110653-the-multi-way-tennis-tournament-winner-announced/6#post-4831062</ref>. AshcrementVII, a fellow replacement<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/110653-the-multi-way-tennis-tournament-winner-announced/3#post-4656139</ref> and one of the final match's players, let his full unabridged feelings be known at this point, regarding the state of tennis itself as it had come to encompass regarding the competitive match he had just played:<br /> <br /> <small>"...but let me take a moment to address something I find the most saddening and discouraging thing of all – whether or not a person feels like they are being shoved into a rapey, color soup style of tennis. Just the thought of me, or anyone else playing tennis or thinking of trying to play tennis, even THEORETICALLY feeling that way because I can’t make crazy shape constructions fly around predetermined courses in synch with one another and do “visual rape” style is both hysterically ludicrous and shockingly frightening. It almost presents the idea that, that’s all tennis is, just rapey color splooge hitting fans at 20 million miles per hour … or carefully constructed shapes moving around for god knows what reason. This aspect of tennis makes up such a small percentage of what tennis is supposed to be, it could almost be considered a footnote. Yet apparently, this is how tennis is perceived from newcomers and casual lookers. And that’s just upsetting."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/110653-the-multi-way-tennis-tournament-winner-announced/6#post-4831342</ref><br /> <br /> -AshcrementVII, October 29, 2014</small><br /> <br /> This post started a significant discussion and acted as a wake-up call for the community, who were now becoming more aware of its diminished size as it became coalesced mostly around a small amount of regulars isolated from the greater world of YTP itself. It inspired a wave of motions made by {{dani_phantump}} and other members of the active staff at the time, {{TheChutley}} especially, to try to connect with the rest of the YTP community over tennis including discussions that were had and engaging them in simple matches. Soon after, this created the tournament of the [[Tennis League 4]], an event not structured around eliminiations that provided a platform for a handful of new or inexperienced voices to try their hand at competitive tennis in what aimed to be a low-stakes environment. This was furthered by the tournaments "silly, tomfoolery" nature perpetuated by both its organizers and particular new players of prominence. While it was initially successful - players more known in YTP proper such as ThemOldaBoys and NationOfOranges696 joined - multiple players the event was geared for ended up dropping out due to being almost immediately faced with players operating in heavy, complex editing styles such as GameBop, NataliaHTTPS and intergalacticdeathrape and seeming to become subsequently disillusioned that their preferred simpler methods of approach did not seem to be embraced in the ways they wanted. A few players from that world who had bigger imaginations though, including CheeChee, TheShadzify, ravinrabbid123, Nineroe, valkiriforce and Peskeh (the events winner) would end up sticking around as regulars in this era, infusing competitive tennis with the freshness and the inventiveness that it needed to sustain itself; many of the best matches played between 2014-2018 would feature them as participants.<br /> <br /> The final years of YouChew saw its tennis tournaments sporting a relative renaissance in terms of the quality of matches that were played. The [[Match Voting Tournament]] allowed players to directly focus on the quality and the enjoyment of their matches entirely, while the [[Doubles Cup 3]] allowed for probably the purest, most seamless degree of collaboration ever showcased in a Doubles event, with some of the most showstopping Doubles matches ever played in terms of entertainment. For these years, it seemed like the way forward in terms of recapturing tennis at its essence and bringing it into the modern day was found again.<br /> <br /> ==YTPMania era==<br /> The end of Youchew brought quite a disturbance to the tennis scene, with many people calling it quits with the site. As a result, new staff were chosen well after the previous iteration had de-facto retired, and much of the mentors from the previous era simply were not there. This led to a very warped view of tennis that focused much more on competitive behavior than before, as there simply weren't enough people around to show how it had been otherwise. Tournaments became very grandiose and long-going, with turnovers becoming much larger as rounds became much more technical.<br /> <br /> The first tournament hosted on [[YTPMania]] was [[Tennis League 5]], while the last was [[Doubles Cup 4]] (which also was partially hosted on [[Pinchbacks]].) <br /> The [[Tennis Cup 5]], the final tournament of the YTPMania era, whilst announced on the forum and discussed there to some extent, there were very few threads created for the matches of this tournament. Whilst there were very few major arguments, this tournament is seen as a general low point.<br /> <br /> As the TC5 concluded, a wave of old tennis regulars including NESfanboi, {{TheChutley}}, {{dani_phantump}}, {{trepmaws}}, and {{theFXexpert}} returned to the community, inspiring the additional return to video craft by players such as {{Metroid998}}, {{GameBop}}, fiv95, Sid, and even {{AshcrementVII}} from the fringes. This would set the stage for the events and the era of tennis that was to follow.<br /> <br /> ==YellowTealPurple Era==<br /> <br /> The first tournament hosted on [[YellowTealPurple]] was [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]] primarily by {{dew}}.<br /> <br /> The next tennis tournament's planning phase began relatively early, right in the middle of the second set of 3WTT2. On March 30th, 2025, it was announced that the next tournament would be decided based on a vote from the people rather than internally; the first of its kind. The three options were a third Match Voting Tournament (MVT3), a second Tennis Season (TS2), or a second Triples Tennis Tournament (TTT2). While the Tennis Season 2 initially jumped from a close to a clear lead in votes<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-19269</ref>, some votes ended up pivoting to the last minute to the Match Voting Tournament 3 as the next "official" event (not accounting for other side events that could take place concurrently<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-19216</ref>). This was reasoned to be for allowing a focus on match quality to take precedence to allow the newer community to truly embody the full "spirit" of tennis as its long been understood, along with allowing time for another Season to fully develop as an event.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-19798</ref><br /> <br /> The 3-Way Tennis Tournament 2 proved to further reveal various tensions and frustrations with the current state of tennis - with deep-rooted problems surfacing or coming to light for the first time in the community. <br /> In both the Tennis Theory thread and the tournament thread itself on the forums, very thorough and passionate posts were made in which various members expressed these feelings, whether about what they observed in tennis in general or about what they observed in specific matches they played - recontextualizing the previous tournament as a general low point, and cementing the word "trapezoidium" into common tennis jargon <br /> <br /> {{dew}} was the writer of the majority of the longest posts, in addition to reviews written for each match of the tournament in which she expressed her initial thoughts, in an effort by her to chronicle the exact current state of tennis and where it could go while taking in the input of other community regulars. <br /> Whilst the 3WTT2 was seen by some as an improvement over the previous tournament<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-three-way-tennis-tournament-ii-intermission-period.653/post-12720</ref>, allowing for more fun than the low, slow burn of TC5, it was apparent the overall experience remained a turbulent one, and so ultimately, due to observing that many players in the tournament including herself were feeling exhausted and stressed from the competitive pressures that had come to pervade this side of tennis, an "Intermission" period of one month was instituted by her into the tournament to allow everyone to cool off and relax, lasting from May 6 to June 6, 2025. This pushed the start of Set 3 of this tournament a month in advance to allow the chance of refreshment for all still involved.<br /> <br /> ==The Future==<br /> The future for tennis tournaments remain uncertain. As modern tennis becomes more and more complex and intricate, it is hard to sit down and create something "competitive" in less than a week. This led to longer turnovers, which led to longer sets, longer tournaments - and much greater burnout.<br /> <br /> To contemplate for these changes in the meta, many have considered the abandonment of tournaments altogether towards more "friendly" events. On the contrary, tournaments are one of the driving forces of the community as, well, they're exciting; many people from many eras coming together to create cool stuff. If tournaments do indeed continue, it is likely to see many more Match Voting tournaments and others that emphasize working together, rather than out-doing your opponent.<br /> <br /> = Tournament Types =<br /> There have been six major types of tennis tournaments, with all minor types being derivatives of one of these formats.<br /> <br /> == Tennis Cup==<br /> The 'vanilla' tournament - a bracket of 2^n players face off in a regular, 6 round match. People vote, and the winner moves on. Last man standing wins!<br /> <br /> ==Tennis League==<br /> The 'OG' tournament - players are split into 'divisions' where they play everyone in their division, usually to four rounds. Winners get 3 points, ties split at 1 point, and losers get none. After everyone has been played, a multi-way "final match" occurs with the winner of each division. The winner of that match is the winner overall!<br /> <br /> While the league format has had the most iterations (alongside cups) at five, it has largely been criticized in modern times due to its length and creating lack of drive to continue after losing enough games. It likely will '''never happen again''' in its known iteration.<br /> <br /> ==Match Voting Tournament==<br /> A newer, but more popular type of tournament - you are given a random 'partner' to work with, to create a match of your vision (usually 6 rounds). When complete, voters '''choose their favorite matches''' out of everyone in the set. Depending on the setup, the lower slice of matches are cut off, and everyone else continues. You are then assigned a new random partner. The 'final' usually consists of 3-4 teams. The highest voted match of the final wins!<br /> <br /> This has been popular as it encourages cooperation and creativity to achieve a much more re-watchable match and enjoyable experience for the players. There have been two of them so far.<br /> <br /> ==Doubles/Triples Tournament==<br /> Similar to a tennis cup, however involving "teams" of players that face off each other, with varying formats. This usually means the first rounds of the match are solo works, showing off each player, before transitioning into collaborative rounds. See [[Team Tennis]] for more information about this format.<br /> <br /> ==X-Way Tournament==<br /> Bleeding the lines between a [[Tennis Chain]] and a regular match, X-Way Tournaments involve long strings of players partaking in a much longer match. In shorter X-Ways, only the top voted player continues; in longer ones, one player gets voted out instead (think Survivor).<br /> <br /> This is another tournament type that struggles with length and remains unlikely to happen again.<br /> <br /> == Tennis Season==<br /> The most bizarre type of tournament that likely will remain a one-off unless heavily refactored. "Teams" of players competed throughout "gameweeks", similar to how football works. A player was chosen to represent their team for that gameweek, and then a particular match would play out against another team. Each player also had certain abilities that they could decide upon at the start of the tournament. Teams would build up points for winning matches, with the team with the most points at the end winning the tournament.<br /> <br /> =Achievements=<br /> The winners of each tennis tournament can be found in the [[List of Tennis Tournaments]].<br /> <br /> ===40+ Wins===<br /> {{GameBop}} - Due to the amount of tournaments GameBop has participated in, while winning most of the matches they participated in, they have the most wins by far out of any other tennis player.<br /> ===30+ Wins===<br /> ===20+ Wins===<br /> ===10+ Wins===<br /> {{mrdoognoog}}<br /> <br /> {{Dew}}<br /> <br /> ===5+ Wins===<br /> <br /> =Archive=<br /> The '''Archive Masterlist''' is the main spreadsheet for keeping track of tournaments, past and present.<br /> <br /> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10cpwoIfVKUZLDYPYNmOMH6X3oG5g3D4Q6O3JDCcfyf0/edit?usp=sharing<br /> <br /> A similar list also exists for unofficial tournaments and other notable tennis events.

<p>InfinitySnapz: /* YTPMania era */ - small adjustment, and a bit more info on TC5</p> <hr /> <div>'''Tennis Tournaments''' (often referred to just as '''tournaments''') are are special [[tennis]] events held by the community, often the [[Tennis Staff|staff]], where players "compete" against one another by playing matches to determine a winner. Tournaments can go as long as a single season to over a year, depending on their scale. Anywhere from eight to forty-eight plus players will duke it out to see who is, subjectively, "the best"; but as competitive as these may be, it is important to never forget the Golden Rule: '''No one wins at tennis, ever!'''<br /> <br /> [[File:Goldenrule.jpeg|thumb|alt=No one wins at tennis, ever!|The golden rule of tennis.]]<br /> <br /> Forum sites will often have accolades for participating in tournament matches and a rarely-given one for if a tournament is won; on the [[YouChew]] forums it was usually a micro-sized render of a standard real-life tennis trophy, having been used in its most familiar form from July 2010 until September 2018. Since 2019, when {{dew}} designed a new version of the award for YTPMania<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tennis-badge-request-backlog-goes-here/4528/15</ref>, the "Golden Cube of Victor" has gone to the tournament winner. Expanding on a YouChew-era award of a "silver wreath" for completing 10 tournament matches, various "precious metal"-themed tennis racquet badges also go to players who have won (or later on, participated in) enough individual tournament matches, now accounting for 1, 10, 25, and 40 tournament matches played<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/29/awarded-list</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/30/awarded-list</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/31/awarded-list</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/ozzmodz-badges/32/awarded-list</ref>. Even if players end up winning more than a single tournament, every winner only ever receives one maximum.<br /> <br /> = History =<br /> The official tennis 'canon' can be viewed in the [[ List of Tennis Tournaments]].<br /> <br /> ==The Beginning==<br /> A sense of competition pervaded the aura of video tennis from the time it was first concieved. Conrad Slater made note to stiplify in the first ever wanted thread for a casual match, eventually answered by Miss10, that the match was to have "no winner"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/79347-1st-ever-poop-tennis-game-conradslater-vs-misselaineous10/1</ref>. Being that he was inspired to adapt [[Photoshop Tennis]] to the medium of video, he could have observed this competitive element in the existing Photoshop Tennis communities of the time. Nonetheless, it was considered a standard in tennis' very early days that most tennis matches usually had a poll where viewers could vote on which of the two players won. Due to tennis still being seen as nothing more than a curiosity, as well as the sense of "winning" never really amounting to anything, this ultimately became phased out of general tennis conduct very quickly.<br /> <br /> At a certain point during Conrad Slater's reign over the [[YouChew]] forums however, when the site had its deepest investment in chronicling the progression and growth of [[YouTube Poop]] as a whole, Conrad actually stipulated a requirement that those who wanted to be "featured" as a creator on the site had to participate in at least one tennis match as a requisite. This system became abolished fairly quickly, as this ended up happening towards the end of his era of prominence. {{RabbitSnore}} in particular was known to champion much more of a laid-back approach to community operations, especially regarding tennis. Amusingly, while Conrad was immediately against the idea of tennis ever being organized as tournaments, Rabbit was by contrast welcoming of them, seeing their potential for bringing the community together in a spirit of fun. <br /> <br /> The [[Tennis League 1|first tennis tournament]] was hosted by Gallers in late 2007, based on a billiards league they played in at the time. RabbitSnore played a big hand in allowing this event to even take place - he had at that point already become a figure Conrad trusted, and was able to convince him to let it take place, along with assuring his own participation. There were only four players, with the other three being SushieBoy, Misslaineous10, and PapaGonzales, who ended up being the (unwilling) winner of this event. While there were yet to be any such trophies for winning tennis tournaments yet, subsequent award implementations on future versions of the forums always featured a trophy for this achievement, and it was always given to PapaGonzales as his only site award. Gallers would be responsible for starting what are now credited as the first four "official" tournaments to occur on these forums, though his participation and commitment would lessen with each one.<br /> <br /> ==[[YouChew]] era==<br /> The proper YouChew era of tennis tournaments is considered to have begun with the [[Tennis Cup]]. It was the first tournament to occur during the Rabbit/TINS era, and the first tournament where the [[tennis staff]] had become established as a central element to the tennis community. All members that would be on the staff during the event participated, and one({{NS2}}) even made it [[Ishkibibl vs. NS2|to the final match.]]<br /> <br /> Up until about the end of the [[Tennis League 3]], an ill-fated event which became considered failed after only a month, competitive tennis was seen to have been at its most freewheeling, with players clearly participating out of a sense of mutual enjoyment. As the initial events mostly took place as a way to bring people together and play matches entirely, there was no clear "meta" for victory in competitive matches up to this point; players clearly engaged matches in the ways that they felt most comfortable, and whether or not they won was purely by fortunate happenstance. A clear moment when this began to change can be identified with the beginning with the [[Doubles Cup 1]], the first tournament in which the tennis staff assumed control and influence over their taking place. The match of Terrorist + Nuthead vs. GameBop + MycroProcessor(2008) ended up failing after only 4 rounds, with no collaborative rounds being made, due to Terrorist finding tennis becoming "more competitive and serious than it is fun" and subsequently deciding to retire from it:<br /> <br /> <small>"I don't like the way Tennis is now, Effects everywhere, Videos flying around, and just [loud distorted audio] with it."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153594</ref> <br /> <br /> "Fun: Making the Previous round funnier, Better, and more enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Competitive: Making the round have loads of Ear rape, Lots of effects, Making the round more Non-enjoyable."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153714</ref> -Terrorist, December 29, 2008</small><br /> <br /> Tennis staff member {{Crash2991}} was in agreement:<br /> <br /> <small>"Well, it has sorta become competitive. Several players have made it become competitive and made several others think that it was supposed to be the uptight thing, rather than just playing around with each other's videos and showing them to each other."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153647</ref><br /> </small><br /> <br /> From a modern perspective, while the original nature and spirit of tennis was well embodied and understood in this period, the frontier of what could be achieved in terms of finding one's unique editing style still had an immense amount of unexplored territory, and these sentiments seemed to surface as a reaction against styles that were unfamiliar and potentially abrasive to those unaccustomed to them. This is supported by posts made by {{Moogle}} in this conversation, where they were more embracing of the different ways that people were finding their own fun in the ways they played tennis:<br /> <br /> <small>"I don't think there's any clash between "fun" and "competitive" tennis in the league. [GameBop] and Mycro are certainly enjoying remixing videos in their preferred styles. The only clash to speak of is the one between styles, and there's no need to remind that, despite each style having its own things to be adored, that the kind of style GameBop has is a lot more difficult to respond to than yours, and it gives the other team a big advantage in the match.<br /> <br /> It's sad that you and Nuthead aren't willing to continue what to me was the most interesting match in the tourney, but don't blame it all on those doing the complicated editing."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/161#post-1153637</ref></small><br /> <br /> Whatever the case, a schism began to develop for the first time here, and the community at large began to ascribe many of their own individual values as to what made a good tennis round, especially with regards to this developing competitive context. The final match of the [[Doubles Cup 1]] became AjaxCubed + Aesaun vs. MycroProcessor + GameBop(2009), a lineup composed entirely of high intensity, high effect players, three of whom were still relatively new to the community as a whole. It can be argued that the reason that AjaxCubed and Aesaun won this tournament was entirely due to the execution of a 3D visual effect in Final Cut Pro 7 by the former player almost never before seen by the community at the time, gaining them their votes purely from the impression. In the early posts of the Tennis Theory thread on [[YellowTealPurple]], this was a theory posited by {{dew}} as she began to attempt to chronicle the journey of tennis to the present day<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/tennis-theory-five-oh-build-me-up-and-tear-me-down.15/post-4873</ref>.<br /> <br /> At some point during this early period, an image macro containing the phrase in impact font text "NO ONE WINS AT TENNIS EVER" began to get posted and circulated around the tennis section. This has since become embraced as the Golden Rule of tennis, a foundational principle upon which to remember to allow players to remember that fun, above victory, is what matters most in tennis. {{dew}} has subsequently referred to the very concept of tennis tournaments as the "Great Riddle" of tennis, outlining the question "How do you win in a game where no one wins?", with the answer intended to be that there isn't - or shouldn't be - any strictly defined way to do so.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/tennis-theory-five-oh-build-me-up-and-tear-me-down.15/post-21591</ref><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-three-way-tennis-tournament-ii-intermission-period.653/post-22775</ref><br /> <br /> Ultimately though, the readiness of the community at the time to fully and truly embrace this philosophy was either slow, scattershot or questionable at best potentially due to the social competitive nature of the rest of YouChew itself. 2009 in particular is seen as an era where the constituency for "simple, classic" tennis competed directly with the "complex, effect-based" constituency for attention across multiple tournaments that took place that year, though it was almost always done out of a positive, good-natured spirit. The [[Windows Movie Master]], [[Tennis Season]] and [[Grey Tennis Tournament]] all saw matches played separately in both camps of style preference as well as matches with a player each representing either side becoming directly matched with each other, leading to exchanges of near diametric opposite approaches such as piodx vs. RAKninja(2009), GameBop vs. Emperor Ing(2009), and [[vvaluigi vs. MycroProcessor]](2009). Around this same time, complex and heavy editing began to very definitively take over the very nature of tennis itself, as players such as {{CorruptionSound}}, rapskallionxyz, Skrimpish, DanielRadcliffe777 and Sploltoen either entered into the community already steeped in this language of editing out the gate or began to truly become prominent as they took on many elements of this language of editing that became part of their signature. During this era, older players such as TangerineImpz continued to express grievances with "what tennis has become" in regards to their own disenchantment<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/57018-the-gray-tennis-tournament-champion-revealed/1</ref>. From late 2009 onward, a lot of these earlier generations of players would leave the game behind entirely. <br /> <br /> The turn of the 2010's now saw competitive "metas" for tennis fully setting in with regards to how the continued influx of players was now interpreting it; as a result of many older players withdrawing from the scene marking a decline in their school of thought around tennis, a sizeable portion of the community was coming to believe that a prowess with cutting edge and well-presented visual/audio effects and dense, intricate editing was the way that "good" tennis was played, at times regardless of how the previous round was used at all. The [[Grey Tennis Tournament]], [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] and the [[Doubles Cup 2]] all saw their final matches make up players who advanced that far at least somewhat embodying this. <br /> <br /> The final match of the Grey Tennis Tournament([[piodx vs. GameBop]](2010)) and the final match of the Doubles Cup 2(dani_phantump + robochao1 vs. ChrisGendo + AshcrementVII(2012)) were instances where an important distinction around this approach prevailed in regards to both match's winners; it was not how well the previous round was edited by the winning player, but how the previous round was "used" in and of itself, in terms of the ideas created/responded to and the overall creativity of the responses themselves. Even through the gradually increasing misconceptions magnified through a competitive lens, enough players still existed in this era with a passion and a knowledge for tennis to know how to engage with it like they believed tennis should be and how they remembered it being played in years previous. As the tennis community entered into the 2010s, it was these older players who led the community and hosted subsequent tournaments, with {{ChrisGendo}}, {{AshcrementVII}}, and {{trepmaws}} being particularly prominent as figures of influence between 2010 and 2013. Under this collective of like minded players and staff members, a balance attempted to be struck with all styles being united in an exploration towards playing the best, most quality matches that could be played, which was explored throughout the [[Doubles Cup 2]], [[Tennis Cup 4]] and the [[Triples Tennis Tournament]]s. The Tennis Cup 4 saw a number of older, memorable players return for one last time, making for some of the more enduring matches of the tournament - its final match, CorruptionSound vs. GreatBritishTurd(2012), was made up of two players who either embodied or had come to embody a cohesive, creative and dynamic mixture of the modern editing tricks and the more classic, fun sensibility of responding to ideas in fun, humorous and especially inventive ways. Despite these high moments, the community continued to dwindle in size, as certain older players and others with simpler styles continued to withdraw feeling unable to match up to the competitiveness that seemed to fully exist and not stop growing with regards to the intensity of the complex editing sported by largely newer players.<br /> <br /> A pressure point occurred at the end of the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]] in late 2014, an event that went through many replacements and moments of organizational chaos before finally having both a newcomer and replacement player, {{LaVieCestLol}}, come out winning its final match<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/110653-the-multi-way-tennis-tournament-winner-announced/6#post-4831062</ref>. AshcrementVII, a fellow replacement<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/110653-the-multi-way-tennis-tournament-winner-announced/3#post-4656139</ref> and one of the final match's players, let his full unabridged feelings be known at this point, regarding the state of tennis itself as it had come to encompass regarding the competitive match he had just played:<br /> <br /> <small>"...but let me take a moment to address something I find the most saddening and discouraging thing of all – whether or not a person feels like they are being shoved into a rapey, color soup style of tennis. Just the thought of me, or anyone else playing tennis or thinking of trying to play tennis, even THEORETICALLY feeling that way because I can’t make crazy shape constructions fly around predetermined courses in synch with one another and do “visual rape” style is both hysterically ludicrous and shockingly frightening. It almost presents the idea that, that’s all tennis is, just rapey color splooge hitting fans at 20 million miles per hour … or carefully constructed shapes moving around for god knows what reason. This aspect of tennis makes up such a small percentage of what tennis is supposed to be, it could almost be considered a footnote. Yet apparently, this is how tennis is perceived from newcomers and casual lookers. And that’s just upsetting."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/110653-the-multi-way-tennis-tournament-winner-announced/6#post-4831342</ref><br /> <br /> -AshcrementVII, October 29, 2014</small><br /> <br /> This post started a significant discussion and acted as a wake-up call for the community, who were now becoming more aware of its diminished size as it became coalesced mostly around a small amount of regulars isolated from the greater world of YTP itself. It inspired a wave of motions made by {{dani_phantump}} and other members of the active staff at the time, {{TheChutley}} especially, to try to connect with the rest of the YTP community over tennis including discussions that were had and engaging them in simple matches. Soon after, this created the tournament of the [[Tennis League 4]], an event not structured around eliminiations that provided a platform for a handful of new or inexperienced voices to try their hand at competitive tennis in what aimed to be a low-stakes environment. This was furthered by the tournaments "silly, tomfoolery" nature perpetuated by both its organizers and particular new players of prominence. While it was initially successful - players more known in YTP proper such as ThemOldaBoys and NationOfOranges696 joined - multiple players the event was geared for ended up dropping out due to being almost immediately faced with players operating in heavy, complex editing styles such as GameBop, NataliaHTTPS and intergalacticdeathrape and seeming to become subsequently disillusioned that their preferred simpler methods of approach did not seem to be embraced in the ways they wanted. A few players from that world who had bigger imaginations though, including CheeChee, TheShadzify, ravinrabbid123, Nineroe, valkiriforce and Peskeh (the events winner) would end up sticking around as regulars in this era, infusing competitive tennis with the freshness and the inventiveness that it needed to sustain itself; many of the best matches played between 2014-2018 would feature them as participants.<br /> <br /> The final years of YouChew saw its tennis tournaments sporting a relative renaissance in terms of the quality of matches that were played. The [[Match Voting Tournament]] allowed players to directly focus on the quality and the enjoyment of their matches entirely, while the [[Doubles Cup 3]] allowed for probably the purest, most seamless degree of collaboration ever showcased in a Doubles event, with some of the most showstopping Doubles matches ever played in terms of entertainment. For these years, it seemed like the way forward in terms of recapturing tennis at its essence and bringing it into the modern day was found again.<br /> <br /> ==YTPMania era==<br /> The end of Youchew brought quite a disturbance to the tennis scene, with many people calling it quits with the site. As a result, new staff were chosen well after the previous iteration had de-facto retired, and much of the mentors from the previous era simply were not there. This led to a very warped view of tennis that focused much more on competitive behavior than before, as there simply weren't enough people around to show how it had been otherwise. Tournaments became very grandiose and long-going, with turnovers becoming much larger as rounds became much more technical.<br /> <br /> The first tournament hosted on [[YTPMania]] was [[Tennis League 5]], while the last was [[Doubles Cup 4]] (which also was partially hosted on [[Pinchbacks]].) <br /> The [[Tennis Cup 5]], the final tournament of the YTPMania era, whilst announced on the forum and discussed there to some extent, there were very few threads created for the matches of this tournament. Whilst there were very few major arguments, this tournament is seen as a general low point.<br /> <br /> As the TC5 concluded, a wave of old tennis regulars including NESfanboi, {{TheChutley}}, {{dani_phantump}}, {{trepmaws}}, and {{theFXexpert}} returned to the community, inspiring the additional return to video craft by players such as {{Metroid998}}, {{GameBop}}, fiv95, Sid, and even {{AshcrementVII}} from the fringes. This would set the stage for the events and the era of tennis that was to follow.<br /> <br /> ==YellowTealPurple Era==<br /> <br /> The first tournament hosted on [[YellowTealPurple]] was [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]] primarily by {{dew}}.<br /> <br /> The next tennis tournament's planning phase began relatively early, right in the middle of the second set of 3WTT2. On March 30th, 2025, it was announced that the next tournament would be decided based on a vote from the people rather than internally; the first of its kind. The three options were a third Match Voting Tournament (MVT3), a second Tennis Season (TS2), or a second Triples Tennis Tournament (TTT2). While the Tennis Season 2 initially jumped from a close to a clear lead in votes<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-19269</ref>, some votes ended up pivoting to the last minute to the Match Voting Tournament 3 as the next "official" event (not accounting for other side events that could take place concurrently<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-19216</ref>). This was reasoned to be for allowing a focus on match quality to take precedence to allow the newer community to truly embody the full "spirit" of tennis as its long been understood, along with allowing time for another Season to fully develop as an event.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-opened-the-gate-and-was-about-to-begin-modifications-when-a-figure-suddenly-appeared-on-the-other-side.30/post-19798</ref><br /> <br /> The 3-Way Tennis tournament 2 proved to be the source of a lot of various tensions and frustrations with the current state of tennis surfacing or coming to light for the first time in the community. In both the Tennis Theory thread and the tournament thread itself on the forums, very thorough and passionate posts were made in which various members expressed these feelings, whether about what they observed in tennis in general or about what they observed in specific matches they played. {{dew}} was the writer of the majority of the longest posts, in addition to reviews written for each match of the tournament in which she expressed her initial thoughts, in an effort by her to chronicle the exact current state of tennis and where it could go while taking in the input of other community regulars. Ultimately, due to observing that many players in the tournament including herself were feeling exhausted and stressed from the competitive pressures that had come to pervade this side of tennis, an "Intermission" period of one month was instituted by her into the tournament to allow everyone to cool off and relax, lasting from May 6 to June 6, 2025. This pushed the start of Set 3 of this tournament a month in advance to allow the chance of refreshment for all still involved.<br /> <br /> ==The Future==<br /> The future for tennis tournaments remain uncertain. As modern tennis becomes more and more complex and intricate, it is hard to sit down and create something "competitive" in less than a week. This led to longer turnovers, which led to longer sets, longer tournaments - and much greater burnout.<br /> <br /> To contemplate for these changes in the meta, many have considered the abandonment of tournaments altogether towards more "friendly" events. On the contrary, tournaments are one of the driving forces of the community as, well, they're exciting; many people from many eras coming together to create cool stuff. If tournaments do indeed continue, it is likely to see many more Match Voting tournaments and others that emphasize working together, rather than out-doing your opponent.<br /> <br /> = Tournament Types =<br /> There have been six major types of tennis tournaments, with all minor types being derivatives of one of these formats.<br /> <br /> == Tennis Cup==<br /> The 'vanilla' tournament - a bracket of 2^n players face off in a regular, 6 round match. People vote, and the winner moves on. Last man standing wins!<br /> <br /> ==Tennis League==<br /> The 'OG' tournament - players are split into 'divisions' where they play everyone in their division, usually to four rounds. Winners get 3 points, ties split at 1 point, and losers get none. After everyone has been played, a multi-way "final match" occurs with the winner of each division. The winner of that match is the winner overall!<br /> <br /> While the league format has had the most iterations (alongside cups) at five, it has largely been criticized in modern times due to its length and creating lack of drive to continue after losing enough games. It likely will '''never happen again''' in its known iteration.<br /> <br /> ==Match Voting Tournament==<br /> A newer, but more popular type of tournament - you are given a random 'partner' to work with, to create a match of your vision (usually 6 rounds). When complete, voters '''choose their favorite matches''' out of everyone in the set. Depending on the setup, the lower slice of matches are cut off, and everyone else continues. You are then assigned a new random partner. The 'final' usually consists of 3-4 teams. The highest voted match of the final wins!<br /> <br /> This has been popular as it encourages cooperation and creativity to achieve a much more re-watchable match and enjoyable experience for the players. There have been two of them so far.<br /> <br /> ==Doubles/Triples Tournament==<br /> Similar to a tennis cup, however involving "teams" of players that face off each other, with varying formats. This usually means the first rounds of the match are solo works, showing off each player, before transitioning into collaborative rounds. See [[Team Tennis]] for more information about this format.<br /> <br /> ==X-Way Tournament==<br /> Bleeding the lines between a [[Tennis Chain]] and a regular match, X-Way Tournaments involve long strings of players partaking in a much longer match. In shorter X-Ways, only the top voted player continues; in longer ones, one player gets voted out instead (think Survivor).<br /> <br /> This is another tournament type that struggles with length and remains unlikely to happen again.<br /> <br /> == Tennis Season==<br /> The most bizarre type of tournament that likely will remain a one-off unless heavily refactored. "Teams" of players competed throughout "gameweeks", similar to how football works. A player was chosen to represent their team for that gameweek, and then a particular match would play out against another team. Each player also had certain abilities that they could decide upon at the start of the tournament.

Missadaxio was an early adopter of the "RxK" chain format, which takes the concept of an endless [[chain]] to the extreme, by contributing as many rounds as possible. It has been praised for being a "sandbox" for experimentation and being an attraction for newer players to the YTP Tennis scene. Other perks include its participants working fast to further its round count, and mass archival efforts from members of the community. Some players also have historically criticized it for having lower standards compared to most chains on what rounds are considered part of the match.<br /> <br /> Despite this, the Missadaxio channel would go on to break multiple YTP Tennis records, the most well known being the record for the YTP Tennis match with more rounds than any other, currently sitting with a count of over 12,000, being built up over several years. The MR1K also has the most participants in one tennis match, with a whopping 158 members of the YTP Tennis community.<br /> <br /> The MR1K is disguised as a "self-match" on the basis that it is contained within the confines of the Missadaxio channel, despite it technically being a chain with multiple participants. This is a remnant of the predecessor project "Mricencycl" which was displayed in the same manner.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The Missadaxio channel name was generated randomly using the website, SpinXO.<br /> <br /> MR1K follows the usual RxK naming format where extra letters or glyphs are put at the beginning of the title and "R1K" being the ultimate goal point for round count, which in this case, is 1,000.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Before Missadaxio, early members of the project were involved in a predecessor channel named "Mricencycl," which aimed for more or less the same ultimate goal that Missadaxio did, to reach 1,000 rounds and beyond. This match was just called the "R1K", which lasted from December 16, 2017 to July of 2018. Mricencycl was ill-fated after someone used the credentials to remove all of the videos on the channels, rendering the original R1K at failure at 388 rounds. The MR1K match began as a revival of the original R1K project between system128 and Slabsten84, with the former creating and uploading the serve to the channel on August 5, 2018.<br /> <br /> ==Notable Rounds==<br /> The MR1K would reach 100 rounds on February 2, 2019.<br /> The first guest appearance happened on round 234 with {{mrdoognoog}} making a round on May 20, 2020.<br /> The MR1K would reach the original goal of 1,000 rounds on September 22, 2020. This match also became the first of multiple four-figure-rounded matches.<br /> The MR1K would reach round 10,000 on December 26, 2023. The MR1K is the only match to have a round count with five digits.<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> The detailed spreadsheet for the MR1K, including data on participants, round info, and metadata, can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cuaUg2v0J6XE7gMhiyKjE5M9Q8IzyRAxg2IwI-ROWTg/edit?gid=974616321#gid=974616321</div>

<p>InfinitySnapz: added temp timeline</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Tennis Staff''' (also known as the '''Café Staff''' or more immaturely the '''Tennis F**ks''') are the ''de-facto'' leaders of the [[tennis]] community.<br /> <br /> [[File:Mako staff.png|thumb|right]]<br /> <br /> =Roles and Jobs=<br /> ==Origins==<br /> The '''Tennis Staff''' as a concept initially stems from a subforum moderator staff created by RabbitSnore on the [[YouChew forums]] on May 7, 2008. Their initial purpose was to moderate the "Poop Tennis" section of these forums, which included:<br /> <br /> - moving match threads between the "Wanted", "In-Progress", "Completed" and "Failed" sections<br /> <br /> - posting and updating tennis rosters in the "Poop Tennis Roster Thread"<br /> <br /> - keeping friendly watch over the regulars in the section's long-running general chat thread, "The Poop Tennis Café".<br /> <br /> <br /> Their modern roles remain largely the same, easily adapting as new communication mediums like Discord became more prominent.<br /> <br /> ==Culture==<br /> Per RabbitSnore's whimsical "cafe/restaurant/bar" theming around "The Poop Tennis Cafe" thread and its staff, it's become something of a lighthearted tradition to imagine the tennis staff as caretakers, baristas, and any-sorta-food-service-worker-related-symbolism-you-can-think-of. They have always been recognized by yellow colored names and forum insignia, consistent through forum sites and the [[The Tennis Isles]] discord group.<br /> <br /> Besides just having subforum-specific moderation powers, the members of this staff over time have informally acquired a status and reputation of being "experts" at tennis, due to each member throughout its history having their own unique editing approaches, many having their own theories and perspectives on how different tennis matches play out, and usually having some of the greatest passion for the medium out of all tennis players. In recent years, members of this staff have been becoming seen as "role-models" for the community, effectively representing it through their respective eras past and present. This has also been becoming one of the deciding merits around which new members are selected. Besides this however, new members have almost always been traditionally chosen for their activity, knowledge, bonds with existing staff members, and/or their willingness to contribute. <br /> <br /> The staff have also run all site sanctioned [[Tennis Tournaments]] since 2008. While this has been historically inconsistent, all major tournaments run by staff are considered "canon".<br /> <br /> =List of Tennis Staff=<br /> Fun Fact, in this wiki, tennis staff will have a special label (which hasn't been decided yet) as a tooltip on their name.

While dani originally organized these by a combination of relative group size (shooting for as close to seven members for each) and spans of time apart between additions, The generations were revised on February 27, 2025 by infinitysnapz, who organized them more by closeness in join dates for each group. This has additionally allowed the resignation of RabbitSnore and TINS from YouChew leadership to be better considered as a major pivot point between specified generations. <br /> <br /> ==First Generation(2008)==<br /> <br /> Members: RabbitSnore, RAKninja, Crash2991, {{strong414bad}}, {{NS2}}, {{NutheadElMajestico}}, TheHappyFungus (and Emperor Ing).<br /> <br /> One of the earliest prolific players of Youtube Poop Tennis was RabbitSnore, who was the co-lead admin of the Youchew forums alongside his real life friend Thereisnospoon303(often called TINS for short) in the era that immediately followed the reign of Conrad Slater. A general chat thread unique to the newly made tennis subforum, called The Poop Tennis Cafe, was opened in the forums (and also on the backup site, Planet Freedom) in January 2008. This thread was made to discuss matches past and present, set up future matches between people, including a roster listing people that they want to play or have already played that might including variations of rules, and to have "refreshments". It would in time garner a notable reputation of mainly being a spammy thread of tennis staff members and its regulars sharing inside jokes to each other, often in the form of various different images. After 4 months of managing the section on his own, and following the forum switch-over from its Vanilla layout, Rabbit employed the first version of a new mod staff unique to the tennis subforums on the evening of May 7th, 2008 to deal with tennis related threads such as moving threads, updating rosters, and hosting tourneys. The staff at this time was made up of 7 members; Crash2991, NS2, TheHappyFungus, Nuthead and strong414bad were added first, with RAKninja being added a day later. These choices were made mainly for these seven being the most active posters in the Cafe and thusly having the closest connections with RabbitSnore. In time, they would become popularly known as the "Tennis Fucks", a term coined by RAKninja and used frequently by him to describe his fellow staff. RAKninja ended up becoming the most active and vocal of the original seven staff members, and it is with him that "theory" was introduced into tennis, as well as the tradition of staff members being the primary organizers of tennis tournaments from his [[Doubles Cup 1]] tournament onward.<br /> <br /> It is also regarded that YouChew moderator/administrator Emperor Ing was always considered by the original staff as an "unofficial fuck"; while never actually being on the staff itself due to him already being instated with moderator and later administrator powers, Ing was close to the early staff members and had very in-depth involvement with the staff's activities in the early years to the point where he was considered just as essential. It is because of this that he is recognized as having served the staff in the past by having obtained an official service medal on the YouChew forums and also has a round made in a special multi-way match reserved exclusively for staff members only.<br /> <br /> ==Second Generation(2008-2009)==<br /> <br /> Members: {{Gamebop}}, {{Moogle}}, {{MycroProcessor}}, {{DaftPunkYoshi}} <br /> <br /> The staff has since undergone many changes in its lineup of members, beginning as soon as 5 days later when NS2 would be promoted by majority vote of YouChew staff to a moderator position. GameBop would become the next addition to the Staff on June 23, 2008 upon request for the purpose of managing the 2nd Tennis Chain and being able to edit the original post created by ShadowWario/FancySanta. During this era, the "Collaborations" subforum of YouChew would be created for the first time, and would be added to tennis staff jurisdiction. Moogle would join next on November 18, 2008, around the same time that Nuthead would be removed from the staff and banned from the forums. {{MycroProcessor}} would join by popular demand on February 27, 2009, essentially acting as the fill-in for Nuthead, and would become the longest serving member of the staff with 10 years and 7 months in the position. TheHappyFungus would become a moderator on March 1, 2009, though would revert her name back to tennis staff colors briefly during the [[Tennis Season]]. DaftPunkYoshi would also be added to the Staff on June 25th, 2009, later becoming a moderator of the forum in order to bridge a social divide between the Tennis Staff and Moderators on August 18, 2011. {{NS2}} would resign and return to being a moderator in April and October 2009 respectively, before resigning permanently on August 6th, 2010 to return to being a full time Cafe Staff member, although activity wise would be very sparse. TheHappyFungus would retire from her moderator position on the same day, and mysteriously vanish from the internet entirely. <br /> <br /> ==Third Generation(2010-2012)==<br /> <br /> Members: MrDrunkenFox, {{ChrisGendo}}, {{TheChutley}}, AshcrementVII, {{trepmaws}} <br /> <br /> Every branch of the community on the YouChew forums soon underwent a major change when, soon after the return of NS2 to the staff and the permanent departure of theHappyFungus, RabbitSnore and TINS retired from their admin and forum leader positions on August 14, 2010. RabbitSnore would then move to the Tennis Staff, as it was a staff that he helped create, with the promise of maintaining activity in that section. This would however never come to pass, and Rabbit's position on the staff marked the effective end of the era of him as an active community member. Some days in advance, RAKninja would publicly announce his retirement from the staff and forum on August 4th, 2010, the same day that MrDrunkenFox would step down from his long-time moderator position and upon personal request be added to the Cafe Staff, following in the footsteps of RabbitSnore. ChrisGendo and {{TheChutley}} would be jointly added to the staff on December 7, 2010, and from this point onward ChrisGendo would effectively take up RAKninja's de-facto leadership role as part of this newly created third generation of staff members, becoming its most active and vocal member for a period of about 2 years. <br /> <br /> The following year marked the only period in which members from all generations of staff up to this point were present within the tennis community, whether active or otherwise. With only select older members contributing in terms of actual staff work, and ChrisGendo effectively managing the tennis section and sanctioning its community entirely on her own up to this point, AshcrementVII and {{trepmaws}} became the newest staff additions on January 22, 2012. Crash2991 retired from the staff somewhere between the spring and summer, followed closely by strong414bad. Subsequent to this period, ChrisGendo would publicly announce her retirement from staff and forum on August 22, 2012, and was soon followed by the simultaneous retirements of Moogle and NS2 on September 21, 2012.<br /> <br /> ==Fourth Generation(2014-2018)==<br /> <br /> Members: {{CorruptionSound}}, {{theFXexpert}}, Stuart K. Reilly, Metroid998, LaVieCestLol, Biodegradable<br /> <br /> AshcrementVII retired from the staff after an almost 2-year period on January 1, 2014, and {{CorruptionSound}} was chosen as his effective replacement on January 10. With YouChew's collab subforum having fallen woefully behind upkeep in this period, {{theFXexpert}} was newly recruited on June 13, 2014 with almost the express purpose of helping out in this section. The following day, a major staff change occurred on YouChew in which the Janitors(moderators assigned to very specific sections, at the time it was strictly the "Poop Talk" section) and Tennis Café Staff were merged into one, thus creating the Café Staff. This change gained the staff equal control over the entire "YouTube Poop" section of the forums(Poop Talk, Media Library, Collaborations, and Poop Tennis), and by complete anomaly would transition then-current Janitor Stuart K. Reilly over to the Café Staff, although he would only maintain this position for 2 months and contribute very little. He would however later on develop a significant acquaintance with the staff and tennis regulars, even going as far as to finally produce a series of episodes of his signature "YouTube Poop News" series covering many aspects of YTP tennis in early 2015. On May 19, 2015, MrDrunkenFox left the Tennis Staff and rejoined as a Moderator after a hiatus of 5 years, the longest gap of time in-between service of any moderator so far. On May 31, 2016, {{TheChutley}} announced her retirement from the staff and was replaced by Metroid998 on June 8. Due to being short-handed by theFXexpert's sudden long absence during this time, LaVieCestLol was also added to the staff on the same day. On April 7, 2018, {{Trepmaws}} would step down from his position and was replaced by Biodegradable on the same day.<br /> <br /> ==Fifth Generation(2019-2024)==<br /> <br /> Members: {{mrdoognoog}}, {{VidTens443}}, {{dew}}, {{Zekii}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, infinitysnapz, AngryLuigi23<br /> <br /> With the YouChew forums about to close and the community set to split in two in August 2018, {{MycroProcessor}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, Biodegradable, Metroid998 and theFXexpert all agreed to migrate over to the more Youtube Poop-focused YTPMania forums, opened and run by Smonge, in order to build a new home for the Tennis Section. {{Gamebop}} opted not to immediately retain their staff position, effectively stepping down with the closing of the forum on September 30. LaVieCestLol also effectively departed from the community with the forums closing. The rest of the staff at the time eventually quietly retired after a slow, inactive first year on YTPMania; Biodegradable made a final statement on August 16, 2019, followed by Metroid998 on August 17, MycroProcessor on September 25, and CorruptionSound on October 11. theFXexpert also made his most recent post on the forum on December 6, 2018 and did not return to the community until years later, in late 2024.<br /> <br /> This was the era of a complete system reset for the community, when many of a new generation were coming into the tennis section very curious about when the next tennis event would happen. Eventually, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Nubman41}}, Morshe and VidTens443, four members who were around for the twilight years in tennis on YouChew, started the first tournament on the YTPMania themselves, the [[Tennis League 5]]. They also managed to persuade {{dew}}, an active tennis regular on YouChew from 2011 to 2016 and the first tennis player to complete 100 matches, to come out of retirement to participate and extend a guiding hand across the new generation of tennis players. With much of the previous staff now gone, mrdoognoog, VidTens443 and {{dew}} all became promoted to the new wave of Café Staff on YTPMania on October 6 and October 22, 2019 respectively. The YouChew forums returned in a new iteration in 2020, and the staff migrated back to it, with Metroid998, {{VidTens443}} and {{mrdoognoog}} as the active staff members and {{dew}} as one of the two admins and leaders of the new site. {{Zekii}} became the newest member of the staff on April 6, 2020. The new YouChew forums however did not last, suffering a managerial crisis that ultimately led to its shutting down in the middle of April 2020, moving everyone back to YTPMania except for {{dew}}, who was banned from the site for about a year, ultimately ending her initial tenure as an active staff member. Nubman41 and system128 were promoted to tennis staff on February 3, 2022, while {{mrdoognoog}} retired from active staff on October 1 of that year. infinitysnapz was promoted to staff on August 20, 2023, followed by AngryLuigi23 on July 5, 2024 following the departure of both {{Zekii}} and {{Nubman41}} on the same day. On October 6, 2024, TheChutley, {{dew}} and {{Nubman41}} all became the first members of the staff to return to their positions, following a late-summer burst of old regulars returning to the community after long absences. Together, {{dew}} and infinitysnapz were instrumental in the construction, opening and current leadership of the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums, a site with which the tennis community served as an initial foundation of its active userbase. This has made them both technically the first since RabbitSnore to serve in an official capacity as both site admins and tennis staff members.<br /> <br /> ==The Café Today==<br /> <br /> The active staff as it stands today is made up of {{VidTens443}}, infinitysnapz, AngryLuigi23, {{dew}}, TheChutley, Nubman41, and {{system128}}. On the Youchew archive, RabbitSnore remains displayed as a staff member in order to recognize the staff's roots of creation and his contributions to the tennis section overall during his active period on the forum. <br /> <br /> The Poop Tennis Café as it stands today now exists on YellowTealPurple, referred to as the YTP/Video Tennis Cafe. While it still retains some activity, it reaches no where close to where the Tennis Cafes of old used to reach as the result of the community currently being split between the forum and the discord group The Tennis Isles, which previously acted as a refuge in lieu of YTPMania losing the interest of almost everyone. The Café thread had 4 original iterations on the Youchew Forums: the first opening on January 28, 2008 and being locked on March 31, 2008 after 104 pages, the second opening on April 2, 2008 and closing on January 8, 2010 after 883 pages, the third opening on January 8, 2010 and closing on October 11, 2012 after 842 pages(with about 4 months of posts in early 2011 lost as a result of Youchew's infamous "Oz incident"), and the fourth and final iteration opening on October 13, 2012 and lasting until the closure of the YouChew Forums on September 29, 2018 after 494 pages. RabbitSnore upon briefly returning to the Youchew forums in January 2013 expressed his complete disbelief that the then current version of the thread continued to persist. The Café Thread that currently exists on YTPMania was first opened on August 21, 2018, and has currently seen 1977 posts (there are no pages in this version due to the unusual interface of the YTPMania forums). Skype versions of the Café have also existed, which has at times seemed to subtract from the discussion of the original threads, but the Café thread proper remains with a reputation of being more relaxed, controlled, and easy to follow conversation-wise nature, being considered much more refreshing and comfortable.<br /> <br /> =Staff-Only Games=<br /> There have been many times where two or more tennis staff played each other.<br /> <br /> The following image documents all known staff-staff tennis matches:<br /> <br /> <small>''(note: this image is currently flawed and incorrect. a new one is in the works.)''</small><br /> <br /> [[File:Staffstaffmatches.png]]<br /> <br /> There have also been many staff-only chains and events, most prominently the [[Staff Multi-Way]].</div>

InfinitySnapz https://ytptennis.com/w/index.php?title=3-Way_Tennis_Tournament_2&diff=2713 3-Way Tennis Tournament 2 2024-12-22T02:12:24Z

<p>InfinitySnapz: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category: Tennis Tournaments]]<br /> [[Category: In Progress]]<br /> The 3-Way Tennis Tournament 2 is a currently ongoing YouTube Poop/Video Tennis tournament that started on December 1, 2024. It is the first tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums era and the first tournament since the [[Tennis League 4]] to be mainly hosted by {{dew}}, making this also the first tournament hosted by an admin of the site it's hosted on since the [[Tennis Season]] in 2009. With the original [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] having started in early 2010, it is the first time this tournament variant has been played in almost 15 years. The tournament was a return to having unique, individual host accounts used for announcements and voting, and for this competition was Jonathan Frakes, with {{dew}} theming the tournament and the unveiling of match lineups and votes around a typical episode of ''Beyond Belief''.<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> ==Announcement and reveal==<br /> The event was announced at around Midnight, on the 29th of November 2024, with an announcement video, in the same vain as that of those, created for the [[Match Voting Tournament 2]], and [[Doubles Cup 4]]. Two days later, on December 1st, the tournament was revealed to be the ''3-Way Tennis Tournament 2''<br /> <youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMjWqPZsoAc</youtube><br /> <br /> ==Launch==<br /> The commencement of the tournament coincided with a surprising turn of events in the community, in which several veteran members suddenly made a comeback starting in August of that year, both before and after the launch of the YellowTealPurple forums which was largely spearheaded by {{dew}} and infinitysnapz, its two lead admins. It is thus seen, in more ways than one, as the beginning of a bright new era for tennis, parallel to how the original instance of this tournament ended up marking a transition of eras in and of itself. This is the first tournament to feature the participation of soundphaseytp, portaldash, foldername, hitori, mahify, and Media904. It is also a return tournament for multiple of its participants; {{dew}} returned after having last played in the [[Doubles Cup 4]] in 2022, TheChutley, ThirtyTwelve and TehShadzify after having last played in the [[Doubles Cup 3]] in 2017-2018, CheeChee after having last played in the [[Match Voting Tournament 2]] in 2021, and {{veritylarsen}} after having last played in the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]] all the way back in 2014. GameBop also initially secretly joined under the name DisguisedSqueak43, revealing their true identity 10 days before Set 1 lineups were announced, also making their comeback after 2 years of no video activity period and their first tournament appearance since the MVT2 as well. TheChutley and GameBop were the only two players returning from the original [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]]; Additional veteran trepmaws also started a "Three-Way Lobby Shuffle" parallel event to make up for all the player slots being filled but there being double the amount of players interested in participating. This marks trepmaws' own return to tennis after a roughly 7 year gap of any video activity in addition.<br /> <br /> =Layout=<br /> <br /> Much of the structure of the original tournament was retained for this competition, with the major differences being the turnover times being updated from 3 days to 5, and the maximum round length being eliminated as was such in the first [[Match Voting Tournament]], with a 20 second minimum limit. Conversely, trepmaws' "Three-Way Lobby Shuffle" established the inverse of this, with rounds deliberately having a 20 second Maximum limit in order to allow for quick, painless participation for all involved(and also happening to fit within a length that many of trepmaws' own previous videos have matched).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> There was discussion initially about possible ways to increase the player count from 27, but upon experimental calculations amongst the current tennis staff any possible number was deemed to be too unwieldy, especially for a competition on a new forum with a new burgeoning community. Consequently, signups filled very fast, and it eventually turned out that roughly twice the number of people were interested in participating in the tournament, which was less than what would have been required for a proper extension of signups but still far more than who could actually participate. trepmaws' parellel event thusly had no maximum limit of participants either, allowing everyone who had signed up as replacements to have something to do while they waited for a chance to participate in the official tournament.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> While never officially defined and outlined in the original, the replacements system for this competition was modeled roughly after the replacement events of the previous iteration, highlighting a replacements ability to only need to play for a single round if need be, and to be potentially chosen by the player needing the replacement. Replacements would be selected by the staff from the top of the list down if no preference was given in the event of needing one.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Matches=</div>

<p>InfinitySnapz: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Tennis Tournaments]]<br /> <br /> {{Stub}}<br /> <br /> Tennis Cup 5 is, at the time of writing, the most recent [[tennis tournament]] and the 20th overall. It was held from 2023 to 2024.<br /> <br /> =Information=<br /> The winner was infinitysnapz.<br /> <br /> =Matches=<br /> <br /> ==Set 1==<br /> ===ApproximateOstrich vs. slabsten84===<br /> This was the first match to complete, taking just 2 days, 13 hrs and 47 minutes to go through all 6 rounds- before many matches even started. Whilst this isnt the fastest match to be played in a tournament, it is still notable for being near the top of that list.<br /> Despite the players having very good chemistry, the match was criticized for its low effort.<br /> <br /> ===InfernAl_Toad vs. KCZ1===<br /> ===mrdoognoog vs. Yottifferent===<br /> ==={{Brick}} vs. atomic_glitch19===<br /> ===VidTens443 vs. Diolary478===<br /> ===BLΛCKFLΣX/Dozzyrok/Retired Arc vs. AngryLuigi23===<br /> This match is notable for having a different player for each odd round.<br /> <br /> ===YooY vs. rjnjrn===<br /> ===arayoru vs. cashlost2===<br /> ===FalseFlesh vs. {{BluMndy}}===<br /> ==={{nm41}} vs. RaymanChrome===<br /> ===uncool_memes vs. piotrek117===<br /> ===infinitysnapz vs. Gabiwoda===<br /> This match went for a "spooky", horror-based theme<br /> <br /> ===greenxyz vs. {{system128}}===<br /> ===lonrefne vs. Letycjusz S.===<br /> Even though this match completed, lonrefne dropped out, giving Lety the automatic win.<br /> <br /> ==={{TheBronzeCat}} vs. {{DisorganizedDweller}}===<br /> ==={{LopunnyBoy}} vs. Mask9999===<br /> <br /> ==Set 2==<br /> ===slabsten84 vs. InfernAl_Toad===<br /> While InfernAl_Toad won the match, prior demotivation to continue the tournament caused them to drop from further matches, giving slabsten the win.<br /> ==={{Brick}} vs. mrdoognoog===<br /> The main focus of this match was about all things King Crimson; in particular, many references to Robert Fripp.<br /> <br /> The final round uses a variety of [[Analog Distortion]] effects throughout. The "finale", to the ending sequence of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part II", used a TV broadcast of the entire match up to that point sped up, displayed on four screens, all in a circle. A camera was placed in the middle and spun around with a Lazy Susan, rapidly speeding up until cutting to black.<br /> ===AngryLuigi23 vs. VidTens443===<br /> ===cashlost2 vs. YooY===<br /> ===FalseFlesh vs. {{nm41}}===<br /> ===piotrek117 vs. infinitysnapz===<br /> ==={{system128}} vs. Letycjusz S.===<br /> This match focused on Touhou.<br /> ==={{LopunnyBoy}} vs. {{TheBronzeCat}}===<br /> This match was about something, probably. The last round was notable as {{TheBronzeCat}} modded many elements of the previous round into a Mario Kart map; then played through the whole thing. While being one of the most unique rounds of the entire tournament, it unfortunately didn't land him the win as {{LopunnyBoy}} moved on to set 3.<br /> <br /> ==Set 3==<br /> ==={{mrdoognoog}} vs. slabsten84===<br /> This match only went three rounds.<br /> <br /> * mrdoognoog's serve was very unorthodox; it revolved around a repeated scene of the Sea Elebit boss fight from Elebits, as well as the tractor chicken scene from Footloose.<br /> * slabsten's serve continues these ideas, adding some of their own. Some added sources include asdfmovie.<br /> * round 3 had a pretty interesting effect; a cube was rendered out in frames, then traced with the "wiggle art" program to make a cool 3d outline.<br /> <br /> slabsten dropped out after round 3, giving doog the automatic win.<br /> <br /> ===YooY vs. AngryLuigi23===<br /> ===infinitysnapz vs. nm41===<br /> This match was themed around The 8-Bit Guy and other youtubers - Both players have an interest in retro technology, and shared injokes, resulting in strong chemistry, and a memorable match overall.<br /> <br /> ===system128 vs. LopunnyBoy===<br /> <br /> ==Set 4==<br /> Neither match of this set went all the way through.<br /> <br /> ==={{system128}} vs. infinitysnapz===<br /> This match didn't get very far, as system128 dropped out shortly after the tournament began. It was intended to be a semi-successor to the [[Doubles Cup 4#Set 5|finals of Doubles Cup 4]], with alot of sources in common, as well as callbacks. The match is intended to be resumed as a segment within the [[infinitysnapz vs system128|non-tournament match]] between these two players.<br /> <br /> ===AngryLuigi23 vs. {{mrdoognoog}}===<br /> This match was themed around the video game Pizza Tower. {{mrdoognoog}} dropped out before finishing round 6 due to not having the time to finish (or move forward in the case of a win).<br /> <br /> ==Set 5==<br /> <br /> ===AngryLuigi23 vs. infinitysnapz===<br /> The final match of this tournament took place between April and August of 2024 - several months after it should have ended - with college and life getting in the way, some argued that this match should have never happened. Regardless, it continued anyway, and concluded to critical acclaim.<br /> <br /> <br /> The overall theme of this match was mario, game-development, and Michael Rosen, evolving into 4th-wall breaking pursuit of 'logic'<br /> {{Tournaments}}</div>

<p>InfinitySnapz: additional tips on flow</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Techniques]]<br /> <br /> A '''Multirender''' is a technique in tennis that involves rendering the same short sequence over and over again. When this is complete, all of the 'renders' are lined up in a row, creating a really cool progression effect.<br /> <br /> By definition, they are identical to a very short [[Self Tennis]].<br /> <br /> Multirenders were very common in the late 2010's, but have become less popular due to the amount of effort to set one up, along with more popular alternatives.<br /> <br /> =Usage=<br /> In concept, multirenders are relatively simple.<br /> # Create ''and render'' a very short sequence of video. It can be part of the video you are working on, or something completely new; it doesn't matter! For maximum effectiveness, try to have this sequence be less than 1.5 seconds long.<br /> # Using this newly rendered sequence, ''do it again''. Try to mix it up a little compared to what you did last time: some reverse each iteration, for extra flow; some only use the last frame. Most people just use the video in its entirety <br /> # Rinse and repeat as long as you want. Most multirenders tend to be around 8 - 20 "renders" long, but you can make them as long as you want (some have gone to 60 or more!) See how long you can go before the original render is completely gone. It's inevtiable, but fun to see how long it takes!<br /> <br /> ''Tip: it's all about the '''progression'''. Don't make edits that completely destroy the previous sequence! You should be able to see where things came from.''<br /> <br /> =Notable Examples=<br /> {{sid}}'s Multirender Collab<br /> <br /> {{GameBop}}'s "Vx60"<br /> <br /> {{sid}} vs. {{dani}} vs. laromande</div>

<p>InfinitySnapz: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Notable Matches]]<br /> <br /> {{Stub}}<br /> <br /> '''missadaxio''' is a "controversial" tennis project that takes the concept of an endless [[chain]] to the extreme. <br /> <br /> It has been praised for being a "sandbox" for doing whatever you want, but also critisizied for mostly being mindless sludge soley driven by seeing how many rounds could possibly be made, regardless of quality.<br /> <br /> While starting as a "self match" between "unknown" participants, it quickly grew and now there's like a dozen fellas working on it.<br /> <br /> While there is the "main group" that does its thing, there's also the occasional "guest round" by other people. The first of these was by mrdoognoog, round 234. Others include 3tp, VidTens443, nesfanboi, and many others.<br /> <br /> As of time of writing, the project has over 11000 rounds.<br /> <br /> ==Notable Rounds==</div>

<p>InfinitySnapz: initial writeup of final match</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Tennis Tournaments]]<br /> <br /> {{Stub}}<br /> <br /> Tennis Cup 5 is, at the time of writing, the most recent [[tennis tournament]]. It was held from 2023 to 2024.<br /> <br /> =Information=<br /> <br /> =Matches=<br /> <br /> ==Set 1==<br /> <br /> ==Set 2==<br /> <br /> ==Set 3==<br /> <br /> ==Set 4==<br /> Neither match of this set went all the way through.<br /> <br /> ===system128 vs. infinitysnapz===<br /> This match didn't get very far, as system128 dropped out shortly after the tournament began.<br /> <br /> ===AngryLuigi23 vs. mrdoognoog===<br /> This match was themed around the video game Pizza Tower. mrdoognoog dropped out before finishing round 6 due to not having the time to finish (or move forward in the case of a win).<br /> <br /> ==Set 5==<br /> <br /> ===AngryLuigi23 vs. infinitysnapz===<br /> The final match of this tournament took place between April and August of 2024 - several months after it should have ended - with college and life getting in the way, some argued that this match should have never happened. Regardless, it continued anyway, and concluded to critical acclaim.<br /> <br /> <br /> The overall theme of this match was mario, game-development, and Michael Rosen, evolving into 4th-wall breaking pursuit of 'logic'<br /> {{Tournaments}}</div>
