The Tennis League III was a Youtube Poop Tennis Competition hosted primarily by Gallers that was started in August 2008, but ultamitely failed shortly therafter due to too many players dropping out. It was intended to be closer in style to that of the Tennis Cup in its voting style with the only major difference being the matches sticking to just 4 rounds, the amount of participants as a result of this were twice the amount of the second league, dividing everyone by four groups.

Development

RAKninja originally suggested for a third tennis League in July 2008 the idea of there being 8 divisions of 4 players that work on teams instead of individually that would play each gameweek, with each team choosing a player to play in each match. The overall win for a team would be decided by best 2 out of 3, which for 4 round matches RAK suspected wouldn't take long at all. He also planned to host it after the Tennis Cup I ended, also suggesting the idea of new awards for the event pertaining to MVPs, best "rookie" players, all-star teams, and so on. strong414bad immediately initiated the idea of an all WMM team, which was echoed by RabbitSnore who initiated the idea of an all-Tennis Fuck team, and enthusiasm on his part became instant. With only an estimated 2 weeks left of the Tennis Cup I, he figured that it was the perfect time to start getting it organized.

While it is apparent that a thread for this potential version of the League was made according to old posts, the thread itself seems to have not survived. Gallers would at some point reappear, and become irritated that he was never consulted about the idea even though the last three Tennis Tournaments had all been under his helm, and he was the primary organizer of the Leagues specifically. He soon started up the "proper" Tennis League 3, which he described as "None of that team bollocks or owt like that, just individuals going head-to-head in a round-robin format competition". RabbitSnore and RAKninja would not participate in its management or the League itself; as they were at this time becoming frequently offline for long periods.

The rules remained more or less the same as the two leagues prior, mentioning that it was all to work like the Tennis Cup except for there being only 4 rounds a match. Every first week was to have matches and every 2nd week was to allow for votes. RAKninja's original idea would later see it's full manifestation in the form of the Tennis Season, although in a much more expanded and elaborate form.

Players

This would be the first tournament in which ThaNuke, zacheatscrackers, Erarg, Aesaun, vvaluigi, Rillion and RealGenericFilms would all play in and subsequently would all become tournament regulars for a time, for WowComics and TheWafflemaster this competition would be a one-off appearance, and Intenseowl would sign up as a replacement. Returning from the Tennis Cup as their first were Luioigi, NS2, TheDarkRises, MTB710/Temeku, uncle69er and Terrorist, and of the more seasoned; strong414bad, UncleChuckTH and LightningSpike. Ishkibibl and Nuthead originally returned as well, but then the former dropped out if signups since he and his brother PlasmaFetus planned to be gone for a week and the latter dropped out due to not being in the mood. Cynnico also signed up but left due to unknown circumstances, and at one point Aesaun also thought he would have to drop out until revisiting his situation. Eventually uncle69er and Terrorist would also need replacing. ThaNuke at one point remarked that people were dropping like flies before the game had even started. Eventually when everyone needed was assembled the divisions were drawn thusly:

DIVISION A

UncleChuckTH

TheHappyFungus

ThaNuke

NS2

Luioigi

DIVISION B

TheDarkRises

NutheadElMajestico (replaced by DrKelexo(replaced by Nuthead again))

Zacheatscrackers

Erarg

Aesaun

DIVISION C

Temeku

LightningSpike

WowComics

RealGenericFilms

Terrorist

DIVISION D

TheWaffleMaster

Uncle69er (replaced by Locodiablogato)

Vvaluigi

MaRillion

Strong414bad

It is unknown whether an actual host account was used for votes or not in the tournament, existing data points to the possibility that it may have been Terrorist himself, but the coinciding thread in which he announced this was locked, assuming to be spam.

The tournament never completed its 5 gameweeks, stagnating somewhere around Week 4, meaning nothing within Week 5 ever actually happened. In addition, only some of the actual matches played completed, very few of which still currently remain all intact.
