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.
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, such as the use of software such as Parsec which allowed 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, TehShadzify, Baycunn(SergeantBacon), fiv95, Soucisse Verte, ThirtyTwelve, trepmaws, LaVieCestLol, ravinrabbid123, Sid, laromande, MycroProcessor, theFXexpert, Peskeh, thatcomputerperson, IAMSAPER, DTN7758, MrAsir17/53v3n733n and CorruptionSound, and the only competition to feature Octagoncoil/Autoxy, Frankey, Orlyx, AntiCheese, Tetrareux, TogeBosso, YTPNerdette, GTLYTP, Master Sword, dingoytp and TheYTPkid859. It is also to date the most recently played tournament by TheChutley.
Info
This doubles cup was different compared to the others that have been played; instead of the usual 6-round format with collaborative rounds at the end, DC3 had four rounds per match, where all rounds were collaborative. This makes it the only tournament where every single round was done by more than one person.
