Tennis League V
The Tennis League V (stylized as TENNIS LEAGUE fiVₑ) is a tennis tournament that ran from September 2019 - present. It is the 5th installment of the tennis leagues that have run on YouChew: the first three from 2007 - 2008, and the fourth in 2015. It is also the first official tennis tournament on YTPMania itself.
The tournament was started originally as unsanctioned by VidTens443 and mrdoognoog before eventually becoming sanctioned as new staff were finally chosen. The final cohosts were VidTens443, mrdoognoog, Nubman41, Dew, and Morshe.
History
Development
Since the closure of YouChew and end of the Doubles Cup 3, the tennis community went relatively silent, with much of the community going completely dormant leaving a new generation on YTPMania to start anew. 2018 came and went with no new tournament. The dormancy also affected the tennis staff, with all five of them going nearly radio silent on almost all fronts. Eventually, enough was enough. People began getting antsy waiting for a new one to begin. A rare message at the time by Metroid promised one to begin in early March… however, this tourney, whatever its concept was, never happened. At this point, the café had a new message every other week at best.
Behind the scenes mrdoognoog repeatedly DMed Smonge about the situation and talked with others about getting something started. Eventually, Smonge gave in around August and promised to DM the staff to hopefully get some more active people in for a new generation of tennis. Two months of staff members quitting later, there was still no word of things to come. Around late September GSgiraffes asked in the café if a tournament could happen outside the official staff, as clearly they weren’t gonna make one soon. Everyone agreed it was finally time.
Over the period of about three days doog and VidTens, later joined by Nubman and Morshe built the layout for what would become the tennis league five. Original outlines contained aspects of many prior tournaments including past leagues, cups and the Tennis Season. It was decided as there were so many new members at the moment that things should be made as simple as possible, and thus many more complicated aspects were removed. This included the tennis season abilities and the potential for doubles matches. Dew also helped during this time but wasn’t an official cohost until right before the tournament began.
Around this time word spread and people began anticipating and preparing. On Sunday the 21st of September the signup page was released. Almost Immediately the spots filled up, and by one hour in there were enough replacements to create another division, bringing it up to a suitable five. The tournament started the next day.

Before Set 4 began, there was an issue onto division D where some players haven't played each other an example being mrdoognoog played neither CheeChee or Ionrefne. So they only have 2 matches to run on in each set and an extra set for them (5.5) before the finale can start. In Set 4, Ionrefne and sull0 are absent due to the split.
Ivan187 replaced AwesomeGuy117 and set to play VidTens443. KaiPixelleap7800 dropped out, was replaced by hackerytp and was set to play Nubman41. 2 matches from LopunnyBoy and dew had their opponents dropped out for procrastinating and stress from irl problems, SuperPoopBros took over Milk's slot to make round 4 vs LopunnyBoy with TyrannousAsh20 taking PoopTV's slot for round 4. ClassicBirch dropped out shortly after poprox made his serve. Birch was then been replaced by a veteran, Metroid998, later on, poprox vs Mertroid went on a halt as poprox had lack motivation to do round 3 with Metroid getting the free pass. CRJ1 vs Morshe was getting to near completion but unfortunately, the only co-host Morshe dropping out with no replacements to take up the slot in time giving CRJ1 a pass.
