The '''Tennis Mini-Competition''' was a small scale tennis event that took place between November 4, 2012 and January 18, 2013. Intended to be a stopgap event between the recently concluded [[Tennis Cup 4]] and the imminent [[Triples Tennis Tournament]], it was jointly hosted by {{AshcrementVII}}, {{trepmaws}}, {{dani_phantump}} and {{GameBop}}, who acted as both judges and the respective creators of the odd rounds of this event. All except dani_phantump were active members of the [[tennis staff]] at the time; dani_phantump would not join the staff until nearly 7 years later, after the three other members had long since retired. | The '''Tennis Mini-Competition''' was a small scale tennis event that took place between November 4, 2012 and January 18, 2013.

Taking the form of one giant 8 "round" match, the layout was for each host to contribute an "odd" round and for any number of players to make their own "even" round in response, with subsequent hosts then making the next odd round using every previous response that was contributed. AshcrementVII kicked off the event with the serve, trepmaws made Round 3, dani_phantump made Round 5, and GameBop made Round 7. The dominant sources of the event from the serve onward were the Goofy shorts ''Tennis Racquet''(1949) and ''How To Play Baseball''(1942), with added sources from this point onward running the gamut across subsequent players' interests. The subforum icons for the tennis section on YouChew were soon after changed to moments and quotes from the former cartoon. | Taking the form of one giant 8 "round" match, the layout was for each host to contribute an "odd" round and for any number of players to make their own "even" round in response, with subsequent hosts then making the next odd round using every previous response that was contributed.

A running theme for multiple responses was super-imposing Goofy's head from the title cards of the original cartoons onto other cartoon/animated title sequences, which included the Warner Bros/Seven Arts era of ''Looney Tunes'' shorts and the ''Pink Panther'' animated short series, among several others. | ||
