Doubles Cup 3: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

The '''Doubles Cup 3''', or '''DC3''' was the third doubles cup format [[Tennis Tournament]], and the sixteenth tournament overall. It was hosted primarily by Metroid998 and lasted from May 24, 2017 to September 10, 2018; the last tournament of the YouChew forums era, ending only weeks before the site was shut down. The voting account used for this tournament was "Mother Harlot", in reference to a recurring character from the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games.

Unlike the previous and subsequent Doubles Cups, the Doubles Cup 3 opted for 4 round League-style matches in which every single round was made collaboratively, much like the Doubles variant week of the Tennis Season. The event coincided with notable advances in technology since the previous Doubles Cup, with the use of ~~software such as Parsec~~ allowing multiple people to work remotely over a single computer, and multiple pairs of teammates utilized this to create their collaborative rounds. The tournament has been retrospectively noted for being a large, last blast of tennis creativity on the YouChew forums, with the ability to now seamlessly collaborate being one of the shining qualities of many matches and individual collab rounds. The winners were eventually the duo of {{CheeChee}} and {{Razerek}}.

It was the first tennis competition to feature {{lonrefne}}, {{mapo}}, {{Zekii}}, BoommDaCorgi1337, gsgiraffes, Dozzyrok and CamHead, the final competition to feature AshcrementVII, Baycunn(SergeantBacon), Soucisse Verte, LaVieCestLol, ravinrabbid123, Sid, laromande, {{MycroProcessor}}, {{theFXexpert}}, Peskeh, {{thatcomputerperson}}, {{IAMSAPER}}, DTN7758, {{MrAsir17}} and {{CorruptionSound}}, and the only competition to feature Octagoncoil/Autoxy, Frankey, Orlyx, AntiCheese, Tetrareux, {{TogeBosso}}, YTPNerdette, GTLYTP, Master Sword, dingoytp, {{TheYTPkid859}}, and retrogenerics. AshcrementVII, GameBop, trepmaws, Sploltoen, CorruptionSound and Metroid998 all returned from the [[Doubles Cup 2]] and the TheChutley, MycroProcessor and Baycunn all returned having previously played in the [[Doubles Cup 1]], with GameBop and trepmaws the only two players to have been a part of every Doubles tournament since the original. {{TheChutley}}, Sid, TehShadzify, {{fiv95}} and {{ThirtyTwelve}} would not properly return to a tournament until the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]] in 2024, and {{trepmaws}} would not return to tennis entirely until 2025.
