The '''Grey Tennis Tournament''', also known as '''GTT''' or erroneously the '''Gray Tennis Tournament''' was a [[Tennis Tournament]] held on the [[YouChew forums]] between August 2009 and April 2010, co-hosted between {{TheChutley}} and vvaluigi. Due to it's organization mirroring that of the Tennis Cup, it has also been alternatively been referred to informally as the '''Tennis Cup 3''', with the [[Windows Movie Master]] previous being referred to informally as the Tennis Cup 2 in a similar vein. It was the eighth tennis tournament overall, and the third of three to occur in the whirlwind tennis year of 2009. The voting account used for this event was "Tails", named after the ''Sonic The Hedgehog'' character for which vvaluigi was long known to have an affinity for. This was also the first tournament to institutionalize the use of (DONE, VOTE) to mark the completion of tournament matches on the forums in which they are hosted, a system that has been in use ever since.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-today-i-done-vote.30/post-25711</ref>


{{Stub}}
The tournament was a rare occurrence in which almost all the participants were seasoned players with at least one previous tournament under their belt. It was the first tennis competition to feature only one recurring new player in magmalord, and the only tennis competition to feature MrMosto, _Cristoph3r_/CrisArriran10, RIce3, LordOfBLTs and ferretfreak111. It would also be the last tennis competition to feature {{Quax}}, TangerineImpz/Imperade, McMANGOS, Crazythesecond, LieutenantMiles, SushieBoy and AjaxCubed.

=History=
According to co-host {{TheChutley}}, the naming of Grey Tennis Tournament was chosen due to its simplicity and its standardized elimination format.
"It's not supposed to be unique at all, it really is just a standard 6 round tournament. That's why we named it the 'Gray [sic] Tennis Tourney'."
The tournament was organized very similarly to the first [[Tennis Cup]]. Due to these similarities, it was officially recognized as the 3rd Tennis Cup (the 2nd one being the [[Windows Movie Maker Master]]). {{RabbitSnore}}, who ultimately did not join, expressed initial interest in the event and subsequently made a unique usergroup for its participants.

The Grey Tennis Tournament, also known as GTT or erroneously the Gray Tennis Tournament was a Tennis Tournament held on the YouChew forums between August 2009 and April 2010, co-hosted between TheChutley and vvaluigi. Due to it's organization mirroring that of the Tennis Cup, it has also been alternatively been referred to informally as the Tennis Cup 3, with the Windows Movie Master previous being referred to informally as the Tennis Cup 2 in a similar vein. It was the eighth tennis tournament overall, and the third of three to occur in the whirlwind tennis year of 2009. The voting account used for this event was "Tails", named after the Sonic The Hedgehog character for which vvaluigi was long known to have an affinity for. This was also the first tournament to institutionalize the use of (DONE, VOTE) to mark the completion of tournament matches on the forums in which they are hosted, a system that has been in use ever since.[1]

The tournament was a rare occurrence in which almost all the participants were seasoned players with at least one previous tournament under their belt. It was the first tennis competition to feature only one recurring new player in magmalord, and the only tennis competition to feature MrMosto, _Cristoph3r_/CrisArriran10, RIce3, LordOfBLTs and ferretfreak111. It would also be the last tennis competition to feature Quax, TangerineImpz/Imperade, McMANGOS, Crazythesecond, LieutenantMiles, SushieBoy and AjaxCubed.

History

According to co-host TheChutley, the naming of Grey Tennis Tournament was chosen due to its simplicity and its standardized elimination format. 

"It's not supposed to be unique at all, it really is just a standard 6 round tournament. That's why we named it the 'Gray [sic] Tennis Tourney'."

The tournament was organized very similarly to the first Tennis Cup. Due to these similarities, it was officially recognized as the 3rd Tennis Cup (the 2nd one being the Windows Movie Maker Master). RabbitSnore, who ultimately did not join, expressed initial interest in the event and subsequently made a unique usergroup for its participants.

Rules

The rules for the Grey Tennis Tournament were detailed as follows:

- 6 Rounds Per Match
- 32 Players (Extended due to popularity, from the original roster of 16 players).
- 3 Day Turnover (72 hours)

Sources that can be added per round (excluding round 1):

- 0 Sources Minimum
- 3 Sources Maximum

Anything visual is considered a source. Such examples of that are:

In contrast, audio-only sources (songs, sound clips, etc.) do not count as a source.

Time Requirements:

Penalties:

- 3 Votes for going over the 72 hour limit
- 2 Votes for incorrect source usage (using over 3 sources).
- 2 Votes for incorrect time length (under 30 seconds, over 3 minutes).

Voting

The official voting time period occurred after every game in the tier finished, but matches could be voted on once they finished. Players had one week to vote. The votes were cast via private message to an official voting account called "Tails". The player who receives the most votes in their match moves onwards in the tournament.
There was a caveat in the voting rules, which stipulated that any match that was not finished by the time the vote week started, the player who made their rounds faster would move on to the next set of the tournament.
