− | The Doubles Cup I was a [[Youtube Poop Tennis]] Tournament organized and hosted by [[RAKninja]] that served to be significant in helping to cement the popularity of the variant that would be known as Doubles Tennis. It was launched in November 2008 and continued until June 2009, and introduced many of the people that would go on to become some of the most widely recognizable names in the world of tennis, spawning two matches that are still greatly considered as some of the greatest matches ever played; seminfinal match [[TheChutley]]+trepmaws vs. [[Gamebop]]+[[MycroProcessor]], and final match AjaxCubed+[[Aesaun]] vs. [[MycroProcessor]]+[[Gamebop]], in which Aesaun and AjaxCubed would emerge as the winners of the Tournament.

This continued to be a concept that was brought up and discussed frequently amongst the Tennis Staff and in the Cafe, and eventually RAKninja would begin to look for a way to turn it into a competition, originally as part of a set of quarterly events, with this being the one to happen on Winter. With nothing set in stone, he would make a thread in November 2008 asking for suggestions and additional ideas. |
The original idea was set to happen as something of a "doubles league" which used an early form of the finalized doubles varient, primarily that in which each player from each side would volley round, with every player volleying once for a total of 4 rounds. FuturesPassed/RobotComics and uncleer would disagree with the idea of only one person individually due to the fact that it didn't seem collaborative enough as well as not fitting true to the spirit of tennis (in addition to the serving player never having to edit any previous round). It was suggested however that if made to be 8 rounds under this system, it would work much better. The idea recieved a small amount of support amidst a number of other people who mistook the thread as an actual tournament and mentioned signing up as a result. | The original idea was set to happen as something of a "doubles league" which used an early form of the finalized doubles varient, primarily that in which each player from each side would volley round, with every player volleying once for a total of 4 rounds.

− | By the time of creation of the roster thread in December 2008 a number of the teams that would participate had already formed, primarily that of zacheatscrackers + MrGenericMan, SeargentBacon + Futures Passed, TheChutley + vvaluigi and Bluesraph + theflashmaker9985(later more well known as MilkShakeManCP). Originally Aesaun joined wanting to have MycroProcessor play as his partner, which MycroProcessor said he would have done if he and Gamebop hadn't already agreed to collaborate beforehand, and as a result Aesaun would later join forces with AjaxCubed. Nuthead + Terrorist were the next pair to come together along with quax + TheSfarioBros, with KlausTheWizard, trepmaws, JackTron7000, RealGenericFilms, CommanderSky, McMANGOS, WowComics, 3pac, NintyScreen, MAZZ0Murder JazzDanceForChildren, Grabboarm, SesakaGenX and TangerineImpz all signing up as uncommitted. trepmaws originally asked Luioigi about the two of them working together as partners which Luioigi responded with "I'll think about it", with it later becoming that trepmaws and Jacktron7000 now became a team, leading Luioigi to later partner up with UberNooberPooper, making for the 16th and final team on the 14th of December 2008. Other teams that formed out of these players during the period of time leading up to this point include the pairing of RealGenericFilms + KlausTheWizard, JazzDanceForChildren + TangerineImpz(who would go on to play more than one doubles match together) and WowComics + McMANGOS, with Erarg asking to be paired with XBR4D3NX and being successful and Moogle joining the tournament as RAKninja's partner. 3pac + CommanderSky was originally a team but it came to be that 3pac was unable to participate due to being in a place with no internet connection over Christmas break, leading Grabboarm to volunteer to fill in for him though this was never completely confirmed. Ishkibibl + PlasmaFetus almost became a possible team to play due to a serve not appearing to start the match against Erarg + XBR4D3NX, with RAKninja making a deal with them that they could play against them if they could get a serve out in the week, but this was unfortunately not accomplished. MrGenericMan later dropped out and theHappyFungus, ADHDYoshi, BMATF and Emperor Ing("as a last resort") all volunteered to be replacements, with BMATF eventually joining zacheatscrackers' team and Grabboarm definitively playing with theflashmaker9985 replacing Bluesraph due to the latter player being undertaken by computer viruses. theHappyFungus and ADHDYoshi could have potentially joined as a team but this did not surface due to Happy believing it would be better to take spots needing to be filled and Yoshi not entirely knowing what was going on.

Piodx, magmalord and wwefan3333 also volunteered but by the time they had the tournament has nearly finished. |

Quite interestingly the matches containing the two pairs of players that would eventually make it to the end both won their first matches due to the other teams forfeiting. While '''Terrorist + Nuthead vs. Gamebop + MycroProcessor''' was after a long time of waiting able to initially make it through the "solo round" half of the match before the serving team disbanded, '''KlausTheWizard + RealGenericFilm vs. AjaxCubed and Aesaun''' failed after only two rounds. At the very last minute RGF was prevented from being able to continue the match due to family affairs, and while attempts were made at a replacement with both SesakaGenX and CommanderSky, no continuation was seen here. The team of Erarg + XBR4D3NX were given a free pass for this set due to there being an odd number of teams and no fully-formed team coming together to face them. | Quite interestingly the matches containing the two pairs of players that would eventually make it to the end both won their first matches due to the other teams forfeiting.

The serve brought into the match what could only be signature to a year such as 2008 in it's use of the "RAN RAN RU" Japanese Ronald McDonald source, of which was the subject of a very large fad around this time. The videos end would contain the message "SAY YOUR PRAYERS, VVALUIGI AND YTPSOURCE". TheChutley's Round 2, in an effort to "kick this match off with a bang", would waste no time in instantly bringing about a sense of energy into the match by distorting much of the audio throughout the round and editing it in a much quicker fashion, adding in Fear Zero and Hotel Mario into his mix and adding to the previous ending message with "VVALUIGI IS AN ATHIEST ASSHOLE!" Retrospectively however TheChutley has looked upon his work from this period and tournament rather negatively, claiming with some that he "had no idea what [he] was doing." |

'''Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics'''(with GameCubeHero and Aesaun serving as the two review crew judges) was the first match of the set finished without failure, and began with a serve using a combination of Final Fantasy games and pictures (all of which we're relatively suggestive) edited in a simple and humorous fashion with a YTPMV segment adding in a number of sprites from the games and ending with a very loud cutoff prevention. Futures Passed called it the funniest round he had seen so far and WowComics looked forward to how the match would progress. McMANGOS's Round 2 attempted a slower style than what he normally made, adding in Meet the Engineer and Meet the Heavy and dedicating a quarter of the video's length to YTPMV segments, using the "I'm Kawaii!" from previous round to great effect which was positively noted by Moogle in addition to the juxtaposition and musical aspects, with the only criticism being that they wish they could have seen more of the faces from the serve, regretting "not seeing more of Gilgamesh, Shiva and others." McMANGOS said while rendering the round that he wasn't completely satisfied with it, but remained optimistic that he could do better in later rounds. MycroProcessor called it "A very nicely musical match so far". | '''Moogle + RAKninja vs. McMANGOS + WowComics'''(with GameCubeHero and Aesaun serving as the two review crew judges) was the first match of the set finished without failure, and began with a serve using a combination of Final Fantasy games and pictures (all of which we're relatively suggestive) edited in a simple and humorous fashion with a YTPMV segment adding in a number of sprites from the games and ending with a very loud cutoff prevention.

RAKninja's Round 3 is notable for being the first tournament round to display his developing tendancy to radically alter the direction that a match is going in with the addition of many new sources and editing in a polarizing style compared to that of his opponants, and introducing what would become a hallmark in-joke of classic Tennis Cafe lore, "Guys in Nature". This phrase would be repeated throughout the length of the round, which was also much longer than the rounds that came before it, with a large portion of it taken up by the added sources of Pee Wee's big adventure("YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU'LLLLLLLLL BEEEEEEEEEEE SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRYYYYYY PEEEEEEEEEE WWWWEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRMAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN") and a biography film about serial killer and rapist John Wayne Gacy, also known as The Killer Clown ("WHAAASSSAAA MAATTERRR, AAINN'T YOOU NEEVER SEEEN A CLLOOWWNN BBEEFFOORREE?"). The Team Fortress 2 footage from the previous round was entirely cut out, marking the first competitive instance of this occurring in RAK's work also, focusing mainly on the Final Fantasy bits and the visual portions of the previous round for what amount of it that was used in the video. In addition to "Guys in Nature" the video also spawned the less popular but still oft-quoted in conjugation "Even cops get horny". It also managed to hit #91 - Top Favorited (Today) - Pets & Animals on Youtube's old rating system due to the attention it recieved and the thread proceeded to become the largest match thread in the first set due to the number of posts either saying or making a post relevant to "Guys in Nature", with several being contributed by McMANGOS(NS2 also posted "You Love it, huh?" a number of times in reply to a number of these posts). Moogle called RAK's Round "seriously wierd", saying that they had no idea what to expect from the match anymore. MycroProcessor said that "With the huge amount of quoting of this round 3, I'll say that I really loved the style that it was presented in, but I wasn't a big fan of the theme. It was still quite interesting since it managed to have two contrasting feels of eeriness and humor throughout." Futures Passed commended RAK "for his efforts to sway the undecided voters of the forum. That combined with his editing talent makes him a force to be reckoned with for the cup." | RAKninja's Round 3 is notable for being the first tournament round to display his developing tendancy to radically alter the direction that a match is going in with the addition of many new sources and editing in a polarizing style compared to that of his opponants, and introducing what would become a hallmark in-joke of classic Tennis Cafe lore, "Guys in Nature".

Upon posting Round 2, Sfario noted that the field he was strongest in was more of the sentence mixing variety rather than "ear rape and noise", but did what they could with the serve which was rushed due to him being busy. The video itself added in Bill Cosby and Metalocalypse and worked to the best of their ability with a more heavier style, with Saiko responding "I really like what you did with the video-within-a-video effect. A very good round 2 and the sources have a lot of potential". Round 3, 4 and 5 remain gone, though Round 5 (which was delivered late) recieved a bit of praise, Mycro noting "I liked the beginning of round 5 with the fast pace. Since round 5 was interestingly much quieter and had more slow parts than 4, I'll be interested in seeing if round 6 reverses that again or not." Saiko commented on Round 4 saying "Awesome round 2, quax. I liked the use of ear rape and very nice job with the stuttering, although it can be argued that you used the ear rape a bit too much. I still thought it was good" and on Round 3 with "Nice job by the way, Grabboarm. I like what you did with the fast paced stuttering, mirror effect and raping that crappy YTP intro that I hate". | Upon posting Round 2, Sfario noted that the field he was strongest in was more of the sentence mixing variety rather than "ear rape and noise", but did what they could with the serve which was rushed due to him being busy.

Round 6 was a short yet intensely edited sped up Round that featured CDI and a performance of The Doors' "The End" amongst its recognizeable sources with the two halves of the players making a very cohesive whole product, with no clear perception on whose part was whose. It's upload date of January 6th, 2009 made the match the last one for the first set to complete. quax remarked that they "literately jizzed in my pants after seeing that" and Mycro wrote "I enjoyed the increased pace. I also think that had some pretty cool chroma keying edits and more intense stuff in general. I also liked the pitch bending transitions to move the video along" while SeargentBacon wrote "I was about ready to vote for Flashmaker + Grabboarm, but round 6 just blew me away. Regardless, a great performance on both ends, this was overall very well done in the way of rape". Saiko's overall assessment was "I thought that both sides did a pretty decent job with the ear rape, but I have to give this to TheSfarioBros and Quax because their videos were much more fast paced and there was virtually no parts left unedited. All of the videos were great, but I'm more partial to the completely and totally raped videos" and McMANGOS mentioned that this would be a tough choice to vote while Flashmaker and Grabboarm both predicted that their opposing team had the match in the bag. The final results saw TheSfarioBros + quax gaining all three points, both judge votes and winning the popular vote 6 to 13, giving them the match by a landslide. | Round 6 was a short yet intensely edited sped up Round that featured CDI and a performance of The Doors' "The End" amongst its recognizeable sources with the two halves of the players making a very cohesive whole product, with no clear perception on whose part was whose.

Round 2 added in Toy Story and several images including that of a dime which was used in multiple places while Luioigi's Round 3 added in Flintstones and edited with a similar visual sensibility to the previous round, showing a progression of his overall style.

I like how it used some nice visual effects and had a well constructed mini musical section at the beginning.

MrGenericMan's Round 2 worked to a similar intensity adding in Mario's Game Gallery but was roughly only half the length of the previous round while TangerineImpz's Round 3 added in a Bruce Lee film and footage of Barack Obama and Randy Newman playing his song "Short People"(with the lyrics edited to "Short People got TOO MUCH BOOTY IN DA PAAANTS"). MycroProcessor wrote "The juxtaposition was great on that, and I particularly liked some of the sounds from the previous rounds that you emphasized. I can't wait to see what Zach does to this and how it will affect the collab rounds" and described zacheatscrackers's Round 4 as "a nice shift back to the style of the first two again", anticipating the forthcoming collab rounds of which this was the first match to approach this stage. | |

The finished Round 5, the first of a number of collaborations to come between JazzDance and Tang, featured a rather unique approach to the collaborative process, featuring the first half of the video being edited over in the second half with more sources being added around it, and equally intense and loud editing coming off of both players in the video. Among the added sources were Speed Racer and footage of the holocaust("THE VALKE VOLUMES CONTAINED '''5000 CLAMS 5000 DOLLARS?????'''") working in the mix of Doug and Yatterman which were also present throughout this round, along with various anime and a film with an undisclosed title. RAKninja simply remarked "oh wow" upon seeing the finished product and the comments also featured their share of praise with MrDrunkenFox calling it "A-Fucking-Mazing". zacheatscrackers after some initial difficulty finished his half of Round 6 and sent it to MrGenericMan, but this player would end up dropping out at this time, prompting BMATF to come in as a replacement to finish the match off yer remaining wary that he didn't think he'd be able to "triumph over tang and jazz's rape of fury". The last round (now deleted) was recieved greatly positively with BMATF stating that it was almost as much fun making a tennis round that he'd ever had, rating his match between UncleChuckTH and Wikiwow as slightly higher in fun. Mycro called it an "Amazing conclusion, this whole match was full of great stuff that matched my initial reaction, one of my personal favorites of this week" with trepmaws writing "I just watched the whole thing. Both teams made some impressive stuff, and BMATF fit in nicely, despite not entering until the last round. It was tough to decide who to vote for". Emperor Ing praised the match with "Excellent effort from all involved". The final results saw a very close popular vote, with Jazz + Tang winning it by only a single vote, and having the highest amount of votes for the first set. Both judge votes went to them also, leading them to be the victors of the match and moving onto Set 2. | The finished Round 5, the first of a number of collaborations to come between JazzDance and Tang, featured a rather unique approach to the collaborative process, featuring the first half of the video being edited over in the second half with more sources being added around it, and equally intense and loud editing coming off of both players in the video.

− | '''Aesaun + AjaxCubed vs. Erarg + XBR4D3NX''' | + | '''Aesaun + AjaxCubed vs. Erarg + XBR4D3NX''' is considerably the lesser known of the two matches of this set, if only for the fact that it remains incomplete with Erarg's Round 4 and the collaborative Round 6 privated, in comparison to the other being fully complete. It is however highly notable for the collaborative Round 5 between Ajax and Aes, featuring a YTPMV segment in 3/8 made by Aesaun that would prove to be greatly influential on tennisers such as trepmaws in ensuing years. Also featured within the video were bits of The Brave Little Toaster and footage of a drumline performance that Aesaun was himself a part of, which he also used in his serve. Much of the editing in this round appears to be indistinguishable between the two players who made it, though if one listens carefully one can pick out slight audio differences between the individual parts, with Ajaxcubed making up the audio with the slightly lower quality and also the edits involving difference compositing, as Aesaun at this time did not know how to do this abiliy himself. Mycro commented on this round saying that " The layering fit with the layering in the previous round. The musical part was great especially. The stutter sounds and long echoes with extra short delays made some cool sound throughout this." |
In regards to the other rounds of the match, Emperor Ing commented on the nature of the serve that "Round one felt like round 6. I liked round 2", as it was edited in Aesaun's usual intensity; Moogle compared it to the serve in their match vs. him and RAKninja saying that "It felt like a head start." Mycro commented on XBR4D3NX's Round 2 saying that "I liked the chroma keying usage at the beginning of round 2 and how it highlighted the black background's presence at the beginning of the previous round. The pacing was glitchy and odd, but in a good way in my opinion. The visual effects were really cool to watch also." The round also featured additions of various cartoon sources such as The Powerpuff Girls, Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead, as well as a musical breakdown bit which was something of a trademark for XBR4D3NX. Ajax's Round 3 was made in only a matter of hours and featured the additions of Pingu, Schoolhouse Rock and System of a Down and was edited to his just-as-intense calibur, with Mycro commenting "I liked the sudden start of round 3's intensity as it was followed directly upon the thrown rock. The layering was awesome, and I loved the composite mode stuff. I also really found the fast pace to be really cool." | In regards to the other rounds of the match, Emperor Ing commented on the nature of the serve that "Round one felt like round 6.

− | + | '''TheChutley + trepmaws vs. Gamebop + MycroProcessor''' is variously considered to be a hallmark tennis match of the Doubles Cup I and one of the best matches of all time, with MycroProcessor later individually meeting up with every other player involved in this match IRL and with all four coming serve on the Cafe Staff in the years that followed, also serving to be the driving concept of TheChutley and trepmaws's match in [[The Grey Tournament]]. OMGulator has called it one of his favorite matches in existance and it has been re-evaluated positively by both the original players of the match and newer generations of tennisers. Gamebop also mentioned at the match's original beginning that at the time every player in the match had different alternating usernames on the forums and youtube (Gamebop as molhal, TheChutley as YTPSource, trepmaws as panicwiththecrisco and MycroProcessor as simply MicroProcessor). | |

TheChutley's Round 1 used all regular sources of his, chiefly I.M. Meen and Fear Zero as well as the CDI Logo and featured extensive use of light ray effects and distortion making for an intense introduction. TheChutley has since been very critical of this round in recent times and has often mentioned of it's low quality in comparison to the rounds that follow, especially Gamebop's volleying of it which he has said it essentially blew his round out of the water. Round 2 featured a lot of layering tricks using the CDI Logo and the addition of two unusual animated sources named Boes(Ox Tales in the English Version) and Lilliput Put which at this time had both disappeared from Youtube. Mycro commented "Round 2 is great, I especially like the layering to further extend the layering with the Phillips logo from the serve. I really liked the pacing of everything and just the way both the previous round and the added sources were used." A small snippet of Round 2 would later reappear in the end of a collaborative Round 2 between TheChutley and trepmaws in 2014, 5 years later, volleying against dew. | TheChutley's Round 1 used all regular sources of his, chiefly I.M.

The part of Round 6 can be easily distinguished by their aspect ratios and audio qualities; Gamebop's parts do not extend to full screen and have slightly less audio qualities due to that his parts were sent over first while Mycro, editing around this footage, naturally does extend to full screen and featured audio that is less compressed, while also being slightly faster. He is also the contributor for the follow up YTPMV segment, yet another improvement from that of the previousand adding in Rhem 3, Animusic and "A silly edited still image from Rhem with Pokemon R/S team Magma/Aqua secret base music to go with it"(the video's YOU ARE JOLTEON ending), while Gamebop contributes the face of the Tombstone character made up of two different eyes and the mouth from the Obsidian source, adding in Ovide, Rhem, and Whelt's "Wilderness 2" video(though he mentions it's "barely distinguishable") and both contributing an equal amount of visual spectacles abound through the climactic finish to the match. quax commented that the round "blew [him] away" and that as he was assigned judge of the match alongside Aesaun, that it would be hard to decide a winner of. XBR4D3NX made an mp3 of all the musical parts available for download and TheChutley congratulated Gamebop and MycroProcessor for winning the match even though all the results had not come in. This would prove to make no difference though as they did in fact in, and became finalists set to play against AjaxCubed and Aesaun. | The part of Round 6 can be easily distinguished by their aspect ratios and audio qualities; Gamebop's parts do not extend to full screen and have slightly less audio qualities due to that his parts were sent over first while Mycro, editing around this footage, naturally does extend to full screen and featured audio that is less compressed, while also being slightly faster.

By popular vote the results would end up coming out to AjaxCubed and Aesaun recieving 13 votes and 57% of the vote and MycroProcessor and Gamebop earning 10 votes and 43% of the vote, making AjaxCubed and Aesaun the official champions of the Doubles Cup. Aesaun would claim that he expected quite the opposite to happen, while MycroProcessor would say that he thought that they would win based on the level of impressiveness of their videos as well as agreeing to the notion that he and Gamebop could have very well made Round 6 stand out much more than they did with it. Many people praised the match for it's wild intensity while also calling it a very fitting finale, saying all four players deserved to get to the end and that voting for it was definitely difficult. When the Tourney Winner Medal was created in 2010, only AjaxCubed was awarded it in connection to this tournament for a somewhat unknown reason; Aesaun had become long gone by this time but his forum account remained intact. | By popular vote the results would end up coming out to AjaxCubed and Aesaun recieving 13 votes and 57% of the vote and MycroProcessor and Gamebop earning 10 votes and 43% of the vote, making AjaxCubed and Aesaun the official champions of the Doubles Cup.
