Unfortunately, some people just aren't cut out for tennis.

Youtube Poop Tennis (often abbreviated as YTP Tennis or just tennis) is a game commonly played by poopers. Like making a contribution to the Chewiki, it is highly encouraged and is a known cure for poopers block (constipation). It can also result in some of the most hardcore poops that you will ever see, often due to its competitive nature.

Like most surrealist games there is no winner, and in terms of method there are few rules, but most simply can be explained by saying a game you poop a poop and then poop that poop (or remix a remix and them remix that remix): repeat 6 times

Typical Game Format

The rules of YTP Tennis are often customized to suit each pooper's needs. However, one of the original, and well known, formats is as follows:

• One pooper (P1) asks another, or in some cases the community as a whole, whether or not they would like to participate in a game. Here the number of videos to me made (or rounds, typically 4 or 6) is defined, as well as the length of each. If an open challenge is made, a video is sometimes supplied.
• Another pooper (P2) accepts the challenge, and has a day or two to remix P1's first video. In addition to the video supplied, P2 is allowed to add up to 3 new clips to the new remix.
• P1 follows through by remixing the new video, adding up to 3 new clips of his/her own. The game continues like this until the round limit is met.

Poop Tennis Doubles Cup

Rakninja, fellow member of YouChew and employee of the Tennis staff, successfully pulled a special twist in this cater on November 17th, 2008. Members such as Zacheatscrackers, UberNooperPooper, and TangerineImpz were 3 of 16 who were participating in the event. Four others who weren't in the 16 are in the Uncommitted section. The winners were Ajaxcubed and Aesaun who defeated MycroProcessor and Gamebop in the final match. The official rules and compartments of the special were:

• Player A makes a serve, Player C returns it.
• Player B volleys that, Player D volleys.
• Player A and B then collaborate to make their last round, then Player's C and D collaborate to finish the match.

Note that Players A and B are the teammates, and Players C and D are the opponents.

The match is scored by a Review Crew member, a Tennis Staff member, and a popular vote as the third "judge". In cases where a Review Crew or Tennis staff are involved in a match, the match will be judged by two members of the other staff,(except in the case of RC vs TS) so if someone were in a match against anyone but a RC member, he/she would be judged by two RCs rather than a RC and TS...it sounds more complex than it really is.

Generally-Accepted Rules (GARs)

Time limits are 2 days per single round, four for collab rounds.

Video Length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

Required Usage: At least 20 seconds of the previous round. This rule is rarely an issue and is rarely enforced.

Materials: Up to three sources introduced per video. (in the collab rounds, three sources per person seems fair, so a total of 6 new sources can be added in a collab round)

Each episode of a show is equal to one source. music and sounds do not count as a source. use of still images not taken from a video source count as a source (any number can be used, still image just counts as one source)

Benefits

• YTP Tennis is a great way to socialize with other fellow poopers.
• It can expand your creative horizons, through the use of more materials and the more advanced use of software available, effectively making you a better pooper in the process.
• It can also open your eyes to anything you could improve on in future poops, again making you better.
• Most importantly, it can be a lot of fun.

Argued disadvantages

• The matches can be draining to make to the point that it can cause poopers block or making a video that does not make you happy.
• Many people do not like tennis matches due to that many of them are similar to the unknowing eye (as in all rape).

Tennis Cafe

RabbitSnore who was a regular player of poop tennis, opened up the Tennis Cafe in the forums (and also on Planet Freedom). This thread was made to discuss matches past and present, set up future matches between people, including a roster listing people that they want to play or have already played that might including variations of rules, and to have refreshments. Rabbit employed staff known as the Tennis Fucks to deal with tennis related threads such as moving threads, updating rosters, and hosting tourneys. These days however it is mainly a spammy thread of tennis fucks and its regulars sharing inside jokes to each other.

Users who regular the cafe:

• the Tennis Cafe Staff
• CaptainStringCheese Es Da Best =^DDDDD
• TheRaz0rEdge
• The Neoprene Junebug
• Bloodis
• 2nnt
• sanemurzu
• Probo
• jacobketronCT

• MountainDewMaNN says hi =D
• 1Superchops lurks a lot, but posts loads too!

(plenty others. add yourself if you want.)

Trivia

• There is a spin-off of YTP Tennis called "Youtube Poop Soccer."
• Many people think the best Youtube Poop Tennis match that was ever conceived was the first Youtube Poop Tennis EVAR except a few who consider it to be overrated. The first matchup was the one between Conrad Slater and Misselaineous10.
• It begins as a normal Youtube Poop (whatever a normal Youtube Poop is in the first place). However, as more and more matches commence, the Poops turn into something that becomes a rape to the mind or something like that unless the poopers decide to use comedy instead.
• (as of 3/15/12) Vvaluigi is the current pooper who has played the most matches, with 60 matches total. Followed by GameBop (58), Quax (52), and Chrisgendo (50)
• There was a poop tennis game planned, but Electronic Arts prevented it from being made.
• There exists an anime about the Tennis Cafe Staff
• CaptainStringCheese is actually the best at tennis. Not as good as IceSumo though, no one can surpass him as far as skills go
• IceSumo has been banned from ever joining any tournaments because of his skill level.
