Line 26:

The '''3-Way Tennis Tournament 2''' is a currently ongoing [[Tennis Tournament|YouTube Poop/Video Tennis tournament]] that took place between December 1, 2024 and November ??, 2025. It is the first tournament of the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums era and the first tournament since the [[Tennis League 4]] to be mainly hosted by {{dew}}, making this also the first tournament hosted by an admin of the site it's hosted on since the [[Tennis Season]] in 2009. With the original [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]] having started in early 2010, it is the first time this tournament variant has been played in almost 15 years. The tournament was a return to having unique, individual host accounts used for announcements and voting, and for this competition was "Jonathan Frakes", with {{dew}} theming the tournament and the unveiling of match lineups and votes around an absurd parody of a typical episode of ''Beyond Belief''.

This marks {{trepmaws}}' own return to tennis after a roughly 7 year gap of any video activity in addition. All current members of the [[tennis staff]] except for {{AngryLuigi23}} were able to secure spots in the tournament.
