==Variant Styles== | |||
The rules for each variant went by the following, some borrowed directly from RabbitSnore's established Official Rules: | |||
===League Official=== | |||
- Rounds: 4. - Video Length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes. - Required Usage: At least 20 seconds of the previous round. This rule is rarely an issue and is rarely enforced. - Materials: Up to three sources introduced per video. When a source is introduced in a League match, documentation is especially important. A source can refer to a video or series of videos, depending on how it is documented. For example, AoStH: Full Tilt Tails could be one source or AoStH could be one source. In the former case, if the volley includes clips from Full Tilt Tails, even if the clips were not used in any previous round, it does not count as introduction of a new source. In the latter case, any and all clips from AoStH could be used without counting as a new source added. - Turnover: 36 hours, unless a reason is given ahead of time for a delay. | |||
===Round Poop Duel=== | |||
A Poop Duel is not a Tennis variant in strict terms, since it does not involve remixing prior rounds. Rather, each participant makes videos based on common source material. | |||
A round of a Poop Duel comprises a video from each participant. A standard Duel, then, consists of three rounds for a total of six videos. Participants do not remix each other's videos. | |||
Before each round, each participant adds a source video to a common pool of materials. When making videos, participants are limited to using the material introduced to this common pool. One more video per participant is added before each subsequent round, so the pool of material increases as rounds proceed. Players compete to see who can make the best video using only the material in the common pool. | |||
-Rounds: 3. -Video Length: No restrictions. -Required Usage: Previous rounds not used. -Materials: Common pool. -Turnover: 36 hours. | |||
===Round Doubles=== | |||
Each round, including the serve, is done as a collaborative effort between the two poopers of the respective team. One pooper should make a poop video with sequences of pooped footage and several areas of blank video, without sound or visual. In these areas of blank space, the second pooper of the team adds his or her own edited footage, as well as minimally editing the footage made by his or her partner. The emphasis should be on working with the partner instead of against him or her. | |||
The video resulting from the collaboration is the serve. The volley of the serve is done in a similar fashion: one pooper from the opposed team remixes the previous round, just as in singles tennis, though leaves blank spaces in which his or her partner can add his or her own footage. The second editing pooper should also use material from the previous round, if so desired. | |||
-Rounds: 4, collaborative. -Video Length: No restrictions. -Required Usage: No restrictions. -Materials: No restrictions. -Turnover: 60 hours. | |||
===6-Round Limited=== | |||
- Rounds: 6. - Video Length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes. - Required Usage: At least 20 seconds of the previous round. This rule is rarely an issue and is rarely enforced. - Materials: Up to three sources introduced per video. When a source is introduced in a League match, documentation is especially important. A source can refer to a video or series of videos, depending on how it is documented. For example, AoStH: Full Tilt Tails could be one source or AoStH could be one source. In the former case, if the volley includes clips from Full Tilt Tails, even if the clips were not used in any previous round, it does not count as introduction of a new source. In the latter case, any and all clips from AoStH could be used without counting as a new source added. - Turnover: 48 hours. | |||
===6-Round Standard=== | |||
- Rounds: 6. - Video Length: No restrictions. - Required Usage: No restrictions. - Materials: No restrictions. - Turnover: 48 hours. | |||
===4-Round Wildcard=== | |||
Prior to each round, the player opposing the serving or volleying player creates a single restrictive rule that governs that round. The restriction can apply to material, length, technique, or nearly anything within reason. Restrictions are adjudicated by the judges of the tourney if contended to be unfair. | |||
- Rounds: 4. - Video Length: No restrictions. - Required Usage: No restrictions. - Materials: No restrictions. - Turnover: 36 hours. | |||
===4-Round Single Source=== | |||
- Rounds: 4. - Video Length: No restrictions. - Required Usage: No restrictions. - Materials: One source (as per League Official definition), as selected by the serving player. The source must be available to both players equally. - Turnover: 36 hours. | |||

=Teams & Players= | |||
This competition is well-known for being the largest single event to take place on the forum with the largest amount of newcomer players (many of them one-offs) as well as the only tournament in which a traditional team system was used. The team system was to allow players the benefit of players not having to play 5 straight months of tennis, as they could work around their personal schedules thusly. A total of 16 teams of players with a combined 82 total players took part and were the following by team with abilities used by each player: | |||
