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 is functionally considered to be an informal "Tennis Cup 3", with the [[Windows Movie Master]] previous functionally considered to be an informal Tennis Cup 2 in a similar vein, as the next tournament of this format would be described upon launch as [[Tennis Cup 4|"the 4th Tennis Cup"]]. This 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> | |||
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. | |||
