* No plugins (or ''any'' video or audio effects for that matter) could be used of any kind, similar to [[NoPlug]]
* ''No plugins'' (or ''any'' video or audio effects for that matter) can be used of any kind ([[NoPlug]])

* ''Two tracks'', one for video and one for audio. Nothing else
* Transitioning, fading, and layering videos are also not allowed
* Videos can not be ''[[Reversing|reversed]]'', ''panned/cropped'', ''sped up/slowed down'', or ''[[Pitch Shifting|pitch-shifted]]''
* Videos can only be quantized to frames, thus non-quantized techniques such as [[Stutter Loops#Hyperstuttering|hyperstuttering]] are not allowed
* [[Transitions|Transitioning]], opacity changes (fading, etc.), as well as layering videos on top of each other are also not allowed
* Unlinking video and audio and editing them separately is allowed
* All footage must be quantized to frames (if applicable) - no [[Stutter Loops#Hyperstuttering|hyperstuttering]] or other related techniques
* Editing is typically done using only two tracks, one for video and one for audio
* A source's audio and video ''can'' be separated and edited individually
* Add at least ''one source'' per round<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/the-poop-tennis-cafe/168/1106</ref>

Initially, the idea was to create a tennis format similar to the Simplicity Collabs, however it eventually ended up going even further with the restrictions to test the limits on what was possible. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLApT4ypNEuw20Q7WYChAq2GmYjWeivnXi

Ultrasimplicity Tennis is a type of tennis where the editing style is intentionally limited to an extreme amount. While originating as a response to the increasingly complex tennis meta, in instead became complex in its own way, seeing how much could be limited in a match while still keeping the key ideas of tennis intact. Over the years this idea has spread to YTP and various collaborations.

Rules

  • No plugins (or any video or audio effects for that matter) can be used of any kind (NoPlug)
  • Two tracks, one for video and one for audio. Nothing else
  • Videos can not be reversed, panned/cropped, sped up/slowed down, or pitch-shifted
  • Transitioning, opacity changes (fading, etc.), as well as layering videos on top of each other are also not allowed
  • All footage must be quantized to frames (if applicable) - no hyperstuttering or other related techniques
  • A source's audio and video can be separated and edited individually
  • Add at least one source per round[1]

History

The original idea for Ultrasimplicity came as a derivative of the simplicity collabs: a series of YTP collaborations started by Smonge with the following rules:

  • No plugins (or any video or audio effects for that matter) can be used of any kind (NoPlug)
  • Three layers maximum (3 video, 2 audio + 1 video, etc.)

The concept was initially thought of by aw8qn before the idea was expanded upon into a match with mrdoognoog. The match played from the 13th to the 15th of December 2020, showing how quickly one could be made.[2] This led to a large influx of similar matches with others wanting to try the style out.

Collabs

There were two collaborations based on the ultrasimplicity concept. The first one was by gsgiraffes and released on August 24th, 2021. [3] The second was on by the RYTP community October 23rd, 2022 (ультрасимл фестиваль, English:"UltraSimple Festival"[4]), hosted by Autoxy.
