The Tennis Season was a Youtube Poop Tennis Competition hosted primarily by RabbitSnore, that ran from June to November of 2009, concurrently with the Windows Movie Master and later with the beginning of The Grey Tournament. An entirely new calibur of competitive play, this event utilized a form of regular competitive play with randomized forms based on collaborative teams, with the players of each all working together to collectively garner match win points that by the end of the last week would emerge as victors. The winners of this event would be a team made up of Emperor Ing, Cristoph, quax94, RideTheCatfish and MrDrunkenFox, all of whom used WMM, and as such went by the team name of The Windows Movie Maker Miscrients. The host account used for this tournament went under the name of Keanu Reeves.


Layout

Much of what would become the layout for the Season was developed in its embryonic stages as early as the Summer of 2008 by RAKninja, intended to be for a Tennis League III before these plans fell through and Gallers would (attempt) to host what he believed was the true version of this competition, which was sadly ill-fated. These ideas would be held onto for some time though, until seeing eventual resurfacing the following year. While the original idea was simply a standard league that utilized the teams, this was expanded upon much further to a grander scale, now using more varients than just the standard league fare. The Tournament was designed to emulate and run like an actual Season, with the maximum duration being set to 15 weeks, or just under 4 months. For each week a certain kind of variant would be played amongst all competing out of a total of 6 different variants used, and they were thusly:

Week 1: 4 Round League-Style Matches

Week 2: 4 Round Single Source Matches

Week 3: 6 Round Matches (Limited)

Week 4: 4 Round Wildcard Matches

Week 5: 4 Round Doubles Matches

Week 6: 4 Round League-Style Matches

Week 7: 3 Round Poop Duels

Week 8: 4 Round Single Source Matches

Week 9: 4 Round League Style Matches

Week 10: 3 Round Poop Duels

Week 11: 4 Round Wildcard Matches

Week 12: 6 Round Matches (Limited)

Week 13: 6 Round Matches (Standard)

Week 14: 4 Round Single Source Matches

Week 15: 4 Round League Style Matches

Variant Styles

The rules for each variant went by the following, some borrowed directly from RabbitSnore's established Official Rules:

League Official

- Rounds: 4. - 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. When a source is introduced in a League match, documentation is especially important. A source can refer to a video or series of videos, depending on how it is documented. For example, AoStH: Full Tilt Tails could be one source or AoStH could be one source. In the former case, if the volley includes clips from Full Tilt Tails, even if the clips were not used in any previous round, it does not count as introduction of a new source. In the latter case, any and all clips from AoStH could be used without counting as a new source added. - Turnover: 36 hours, unless a reason is given ahead of time for a delay.

Round Poop Duel

A Poop Duel is not a Tennis variant in strict terms, since it does not involve remixing prior rounds. Rather, each participant makes videos based on common source material.

A round of a Poop Duel comprises a video from each participant. A standard Duel, then, consists of three rounds for a total of six videos. Participants do not remix each other's videos.

Before each round, each participant adds a source video to a common pool of materials. When making videos, participants are limited to using the material introduced to this common pool. One more video per participant is added before each subsequent round, so the pool of material increases as rounds proceed. Players compete to see who can make the best video using only the material in the common pool.

-Rounds: 3. -Video Length: No restrictions. -Required Usage: Previous rounds not used. -Materials: Common pool. -Turnover: 36 hours.

Round Doubles

Each round, including the serve, is done as a collaborative effort between the two poopers of the respective team. One pooper should make a poop video with sequences of pooped footage and several areas of blank video, without sound or visual. In these areas of blank space, the second pooper of the team adds his or her own edited footage, as well as minimally editing the footage made by his or her partner. The emphasis should be on working with the partner instead of against him or her.

The video resulting from the collaboration is the serve. The volley of the serve is done in a similar fashion: one pooper from the opposed team remixes the previous round, just as in singles tennis, though leaves blank spaces in which his or her partner can add his or her own footage. The second editing pooper should also use material from the previous round, if so desired.

-Rounds: 4, collaborative. -Video Length: No restrictions. -Required Usage: No restrictions. -Materials: No restrictions. -Turnover: 60 hours.

6-Round Limited

- Rounds: 6. - 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. When a source is introduced in a League match, documentation is especially important. A source can refer to a video or series of videos, depending on how it is documented. For example, AoStH: Full Tilt Tails could be one source or AoStH could be one source. In the former case, if the volley includes clips from Full Tilt Tails, even if the clips were not used in any previous round, it does not count as introduction of a new source. In the latter case, any and all clips from AoStH could be used without counting as a new source added. - Turnover: 48 hours.

6-Round Standard

- Rounds: 6. - Video Length: No restrictions. - Required Usage: No restrictions. - Materials: No restrictions. - Turnover: 48 hours.

4-Round Wildcard

Prior to each round, the player opposing the serving or volleying player creates a single restrictive rule that governs that round. The restriction can apply to material, length, technique, or nearly anything within reason. Restrictions are adjudicated by the judges of the tourney if contended to be unfair.

- Rounds: 4. - Video Length: No restrictions. - Required Usage: No restrictions. - Materials: No restrictions. - Turnover: 36 hours.

4-Round Single Source

- Rounds: 4. - Video Length: No restrictions. - Required Usage: No restrictions. - Materials: One source (as per League Official definition), as selected by the serving player. The source must be available to both players equally. - Turnover: 36 hours.

Abilities

As another new addition, RabbitSnore introduced Abilities; a special sort of move that players could use when playing in a match as ways to gain a possible upper hand. The abilities were as follows:

Signature Material: A player with this ability selects a source material when choosing this ability. Before volleying a round or serving, regardless of the rules of the game, the player may invoke this ability and use his or her chosen source material in addition to whatever other material is permitted in the match, for that round.

Stifle Effects: Once per match, prior to the opponent volleying a round, a player with this ability may declare two techniques and/or effects which cannot be used in the following round.

Relax Rules: Once per match, before volleying a round or serving, a player with this ability may declare that he or she will ignore part of the rules of a match for next round, such as video length, required usage, or material restrictions. In a Wildcard match, this ability may be used to cancel a Wildcard effect. Note that this ability may not be used to relax turnover time, as those rules are in place to keep the Season on schedule.

Soloist: Once during a Doubles Match, before volleying a round or serving, a player with this ability may declare that he or she will make the next round on his or her own, without a collaborator.

Ace in the Hole: Once during a Poop Duel, before making a round, a player with this ability may declare that he or she will use up to two sources outside of the common pool of material for the next round.

Coerce Material: Once during a match, before an opponent volleys a round, a player with this ability may declare that the opponent must include at least 20 seconds of a specific source material in the next round. The player using this ability must provide access to the material if the opponent does not have ready access to it.

Wildcard Permanence: Prior to a Wildcard Match (before the serve), a player with this ability may declare that each of the restrictions declared in the match will apply to each of the subsequent rounds, not only the immediately following round.

Limit Material: Once during a match, before an opponent volleys a round, this ability may be invoked to preclude the usage of a source (as defined by the League Official rules) in the following round.

Single Source Switch: Once during a Single Source Match, before a round is made by either the owner of this ability or an opponent, this ability may be invoked to change the selected single source to another source for the remainder of the match. The new source must be equally available to both players.

Forever Wild: Before a match begins (before the serve), this ability may be invoked to add Wildcard rules to the match. If this ability is used in a Wildcard match, before each round, two restrictions are created.

Coerce Single Source: Before a match begins (before the serve), this ability may be invoked to add Single Source rules to the match. That is, the serving player chooses a single source that must be used exclusively through the whole match. This ability may not be used if the match is already a Single Source match.

Extended Performance: Once per match, before an opponent volleys a round, this ability may be invoked to override the match's Video Length rules and force the opponent to make his or her next round at least 4 minutes long.

Limited Engagement: Once per match, before an opponent volleys a round, this ability may be invoked to override the match's Video Length rules and force the opponent to make his or her next round no more than 40 seconds long.

Isolation: Once per match, before an opponent volleys a round, this ability may be invoked to prevent the opponent from adding any more sources to his or her next round.


Players

This competition is well-known for being the largest single event to take place on the forum with the largest amount of newcomer players (many of them one-offs) as well as the only tournament in which a traditional team system was used. The team system was to allow players the benefit of players not having to play 5 straight months of tennis, as they could work around their personal schedules thusly. A total of 16 teams of players with a combined 82 total players took part and were the following by team with abilities used by each player:

Summary

Note: As of this writing(10/11/2014), a good half of the original videos of the season remain lost from youtube, including the rounds made by TheAirPump, lordbababa, SeargentBacon, InsinerateHymn, ThaNuke, RideTheCatfish, CrazytheSecond, vvaluigi, Jacktron7000, AmiralMachin, and Arkunos, with quax's videos and a number of MorfGworfmim's videos privated. In addition, records of the definite official outcome for most matches are not currently visible in the forum archives, or the wherabouts of them have yet to be discovered.

The first week, which was standard league matches, started out normally, although very quickly problems arose when of all the matches played there was one match that never took place, which was to be the Rumble Stumble Vanger Flanger Stranger Danger Power Rangers, set to serve against The Wilkinson's Family Restaurant Managerial Staff. The latter team would end up with an automatic first win without any videos being made due to the other team becoming unresponsive. The other matches were able to complete as scheduled and all yeilded interesting results. Gamebop vs. Bya(representing The Electric Teal Joltoen of Terror vs. Screamin' Eagles) would begin with an experimentally driven serve with loud white noise audio overtaking much of the normal volume audio throughout the video, which Bya had noticeable difficulty attempting to volley back as this was his first match he would use Sony Vegas in. His last round features a cutoff of several minutes of black space due to accidentally rendering his entire timeline rather than the video itself. Bya would actually end up as the only player on his team that would actually play any matches. shroomhead1 vs. TheHappyFungus(representing Super Blitzkrieg Bros. vs. Team Gilgamesh) would be famously called "The battle of the shrooms" and be the source of an unintentionally hilarious moment that wouldn't be found until retrospective inspection of the thread, in which an unsolved character glitch caused MycroProcessor's review of the match to be shortened to simply "Round 2 used the serve". This would occur in several other threads including the original Season thread itself. SergeantBacon would be the first player to use an ability in the competition in SergeantBacon vs. FuturedPassed(representing 27 Layer Marble Cake vs. The Righteous Left), using Relax Rules to add more than 3 sources in his second volley.

In the second week, which was single source matches, the Rumble Stumble Power Rangers Team were once again unresponsive, resulting in their opposing team, The Windows Movie Maker Miscrients, now being the ones to achieve an automatic win. It was at this point that various players started to dub them satirical and humorous names poking fun at their incompetance, including "The Fumbling Bumbling Forfeiter Defaulter Pansy Chansy Bye Rangers", "The intentionally long name in a horrible attempt to be funny Rangers" and "The Automatic Bye Rangers". This gameweek would also be the scene of a notorious situation in the match of MycroProcessor vs. NEVERGONNAGETIT92000(representing The Electric Teal Jolteon of Terror vs. Stone), in which NEVERGONNAGETIT92000 pulled a loophole on the "single source" rule by activating his Signature Source ability to be able to add in footage from Spongebob ("BUCKET BUCKET BUCKET") in his Round 2. Mycro would then in turn activate Isolation to prevent him from adding any more of his source in, to keep the match within the boundaries of the variant. While this would clearly be a clearly one-sided match, reportedly MycroProcessor actually lost this match due to his opponent receiving numerous "pity" votes that overall proved to be more than the votes he himself received, an event that he and others look upon critically in the present day. Similarly the match of ButtonsTheDragon vs. Malkmusian(representing The Righteous Left vs. The Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra and Chorus) progressed halfway through until it was pointed out by Aesaun that an apparent communication error had arose in which Buttons had used his Signature Source in his serve without announcing it along with the source he had chosen as the match's single source, with Malk believing that this meant each person had their own source they used in this type of match, resulting in more sources being added than what the match rules coupled with the Signature Source ability allowed. Oddly enough, the same loophole would be used by both players in the match of Markie vs. zacheatscrackers(representing STAR SPANGLED SCRANDER vs. The Elitists) without any objections. This gameweek would also see Chrisgendo's first ever competitive match with InsinerateHymn vs. ChrisGendo(representing THE CLEVELAND STEAMERS vs. Team Gilgamesh), which along with KlausTheWizard vs. RAKninja(representing The Wilkinson's Family Restaurant Managerial Staff vs. Incredible Laser Sword) would be the only two matches that fully adhered within Single Source rules without using loopholes.

Week 3 (6 Round Limited matches) would see the initially surprising shift in expectations with TheSuperUngieReport from the Power Rangers suddenly making an appearance in MAZZ0Murder vs. TheSuperUngieReport (representing Team Gilgamesh vs. Rumble Stumble Vanger Flanger Stranger Danger Power Rangers), which quickly fell again as the match failed after only the serve. Ironically it would be Screamin Eagles vs. The Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra and Chorus that would not see a match take any level of fruitition during this week. Notable during this week was the match of Emperor Ing vs. DaftPunkYoshi (representing Windows Movie Maker Miscrients vs. Incredible Laser Sword) which was significantly all WMM, ironic in that both players were currently still active in the Windows Movie Master which was still ongoing. Some considered that this was a "warm-up" match between the two players for the eventual grand finale of that tournament. JazzDanceForChildren due to busyness would be replaced for the match that would become Maxinsc vs. TheNuke(representing The Pachinko Warriors vs. THE CLEVELAND STEAMERS). In LieutenantMiles vs. SesakaGenX(representing The Elitests vs. The Righteous Left), Miles would use Relax Rules in order to be able to deliver a 20 second video without penalty, as that was all he would be able to produce at the current time. When the results were posted for this match, Rabbit remarked that Incredible Laser Sword was kicking ass, as they remained undefeated along with the Windows Movie Miscrients. RAKninja would react in surprise to the fact that they were beating The Pachinko Warriors 7 to 0, who were considered to be worthy adversaries.


Week 4 (Wildcard matches) would see Screamin' Eagles forfeiting once again, this time to The Elitests, now putting them around the same tier as the Power Rangers Team, who would once again see representation here with The Robotic Robot vs. TangerineImpz (representing Rumble Stumble Vanger Flanger Stranger Danger Power Rangers vs. The Pachinko Warriors). As a further surprise, this would be the first match that the Power Rangers team would actually complete all the way through. Probably the most famous match of this set was Moogle vs. RabbitSnore(representing Team Gilgamesh vs. Incredible Laser Sword), in which both players activated their respective Forever Wild abilities, resulting in a match that now required 3 restrictions to each player after each round, as it was already a wildcard match to begin with. The match was both challenging yet an incredible battle of wits between the two players, leading many people to consider this one of the best matches hands down. Aesaun vs. RideTheCatfish(representing The Electric Teal Jolteon of Terror vs. Windows Movie Maker Miscrients) sadly failed after only one round due to prolonged stalling by Aesaun, who would disappear mysteriously after this match, not having been seen online again since. His serve remains the last video he has uploaded as a result. In RealGenericFilms vs. TheChutley(representing The Wilkinson's Family Restaurant Managerial Staff vs. 27-Layer Marble Cake) the former player would actually have his account terminated mid-match by a user claiming copyright, resulting in an unusual delay of the last two rounds of the match, which saw TheChutley working with the restriction of only one layer of video and audio, something he said was definitely not used to. At the end of the week, it was announced some changes in the standings had taken place, with The Righteous Left now emerging with a substantial lead alongside Incredible Laser Sword.


Week 5 would see the unfolding of the Doubles Round, and within it would take place the match of JazzDanceForChildren + TangerineImpz vs. Crash2991 + Crash2991(representing The Pachinko Warriors vs. Incredible Laser Sword), which has retrospectively been considered to be one of the greatest doubles matches of all time. Being almost entirely source driven, this would see every player indulging in sources that would give the match a very distinct sense of character, emphasized by the majority of the sources being rather obscure and a good handful of these sources made up of 70s-90s anime, including Voltes V, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, The King of Braves GaoGaiGar, Tenchi Muyo, Speed Racer, Golden Boy and Dragonball Z, with a brief appearance by Lupin III in Round 4 as well. Other sources that would make an appearance would be Ralph Bakishi's Coonskin(1975), as well as The Dukes of Hazzard and a japanese Spiderman. Permeated throughout the match would be the repetition of "BRAIN PALACE" and "A THOUSAND DOLLARS!" which would become it's signature features. Alongside it would also be the equally entertaining match of TheChutley + trepmaws vs. quax + MrDrunkenFox(representing 27-Layer Marble Cake vs. Windows Movie Maker Miscreants), where while TheChutley and trepmaws showed their usual collaboriatve strength, on the other side the work was divided between the two players with quax seeming to be the only one to actually edit the previous round while MrDrunkenFox very sarcastically did nothing but add sources, which were almost entirely black and white WWII cartoons. Their Round 4 would notoriously be composed with his contribution being nothing but a clip of a cartoon Adolf Hitler jumping up and down shouting "ROOTIN' TOOTIN AN' A-" repeatedly which would take up a good half of the video. They would afterwards joke about being a shoe-in for the match win even though it seemed very unlikely (they would in fact tie). TheChutley has in recent times been critical of his own performance in this match. This gameweek would also see the one and only usage of the Soloist ability, used by TheRoboticRobot to compensate for the otherwise complete inactivity of the rest of his team, in Erarg + PolyCement vs. The Robotic Robot(representing STAR SPANGLED SCRANDER vs. Rumble Stumble Vanger Flanger Stranger Danger Power Rangers). This sadly would not complete, earning yet another failed match to the Power Rangers team. Similar fates would be met in four other matches during this week, with Screamin' Eagles vs. Super Blitzkrieg Bros being the match that would never see a thread, and the only other match seeing completion being the effect heavy AjaxCubed + piodx vs. Moogle + ChrisGendo(representing The Electric Teal Jolteon of Terror vs. Team Gilgamesh). By the end of this week TheRoboticRobot, who was essentially Team Captain for the Power Rangers, had changed his team name to the Phoenix Fuckers.


Week 6 would only ever see 4 match threads created; only half of the people in the tournament actually having participation this time around, while in the other half, a quarter of the teams would automatically advance over the other quarter who all failed to deliver a serve. Among the ones actually completed would be the eventful SergeantBacon vs. TheHappyFungus(representing 27-Layer Marble Cake vs. Team Gilgamesh), in which Happy would activate her Extended Performance ability upon Bacon, forcing him to now respond with a Round 3 that was at least 4 minutes long. Bacon would at this time become put out of service and the team would become very set back in trying to respond to Happy's round, eventually coming to the decision to have TheChutley fill in for Bacon for this one response. His resulting Round 3 would be a showstopping tour de force that very impressively volleyed the previous round while succeeding in filling in the 4 minute requirement, with "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses playing throughout for emphasis. Happy in turn would not be able to respond effectively to this round for his last video, and the match reportedly ended in a tie. trepmaws would mention that the lack in quantity of completed matches for this week was easily made up in quality, as it was positively remarked by many people in correspondance to the Markie vs. strong414bad match as well (representing STAR SPANGLED SCRANDER vs. Incredible Laser Sword).


Week 7 (Poop Duels) would only see 6 threads created, and of those 6 only 2 would fully complete, making this the most unsuccessful variant of the tournament so far. The matches that completed would be vvaluigi vs. FuturesPassed(representing 27-Layer Marble Cake vs. The Righteous Left) and Emperor Ing vs. Combuskenisawesome(representing Windows Movie Maker Miscrients vs. The Elitests), although much to the dismay of the latter player in the second match, as he found himself faced with sources that he absolutely despised(specifically Total Drama Island, to which RAKninja would humorously remark in the midst of his match with piodx "god i'd cut that so fast, and replace it with it's diametric opposite, a good cartoon"). Much of the failure of this gameweek was due to Duels being a rarely used method of play and therefore the exact rules as to how one was carried out were very unfamiliar to most players, for some near incomprehensible. By this time in the tournament Screamin' Eagles had been reduced to just Bya the Restraunt Managerial Staff to just RealGenericFilms, and The Phoenix Fuckers had dissolved completely, leaving a hole open now in terms of how the tournament would be able to now proceed.At the same time, due to none of the matches in Week 7 finishing on schedule, Week 8 was forced to start concurrently with it, though only 5 matches ever came out of this gameweek. In SesakaGenX vs. MorfGworfmim(representing The Righteous Left vs. The Electric Teal Jolteon of Terror), Morf would very cleverly use his Coerce Single Source ability in what was already a single source match to change the selected source from Master Blaster to Wild Arms 2. Mycro would remark that this would be the one time he almost voted for the other team due to the performance of Sesaka in this match.
