thanks for the extension on my entry

Winner: JOSHUA ALLEN. The other guy were just playing around. He wiped the floor with both of them.

I vote for a draw – the volleys were all much too similar for me to care either way about who gets it. Like tut21, it could easily have been all from the same person.

I’m usually in favor of building upon what’s come before, but they took it way too far. I think it’s best when a player builds upon to conceptual aim of the previous volley, but in a different style, or takes the same style, but twists it to serve different ends. This match, they tried to do the same thing all match long, and in the same style.

Hi all. This is my first post here. I gotta say that the real winner was the commentary. It kicked ass.

Anyway, for my first in-forum competition, I feel the that an homage to Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is necessary.

Check it.

So is the winner the one who repeated the same joke the most number of times?

Are we authorized to levy fines?

The 1990s called and wanted their GIFs back. Since when was inducing seizures cool?

Topic: Conversation About The Match

No clear winner to me so I don’t care either way. It felt like there were ten entries from one player. The match got better as it went on, but I can’t say it was one of the more memorable ones.

Anyhoo, thanks for the diversion guys.

Since I had a little more time after work, I took the liberty of updating my entry a bit. Thanks for the comment on the earlier version , Bryan.

Update: I guess it helps to read the rules before posting entries. Mine were mouse made.

As for voting, it’s a tough choice. I wonder if having them in the same room might have allowed for too much synergy (among other things) in the design process. I agree with jenmoocat, call it a draw.

Been a Layer Tennis lurker since the beginning of October and I agree with VonReuter.
I think that the matches have gone downhill since motion became incorporated into it.
And this one, on the whole, was pretty terrible.
Now, I am sure that the guys are talented designers otherwise, but this was definitely not a showcase of their talent. I say: call it a draw and stop with the motion already!
Bring back the witty and intricate matches of yore…....

I say they both lose. This match is a great example of everything that’s wrong with everything right now.

Topic: Conversation About The Match

with my second post and second ever layer tennis match I am siding with Mr. Owens before I sit down to rest some.

thoroughly enjoyed it. (oh and for anyone who’s so inclined I’ve posted my entry again with a little post-production, post deadline garishness)

I feel like I just had a baby through my eyes. That was mega-stressful. I don’t recommend participating in this thing while at work, while in meetings.

Topic: Conversation About The Match

It is tough but I would lean toward Jason even with that soft lob on the fifth volley.
It was a fun match, and I’m sure I will look back on it fondly as soon as the dull throbbing subsides behind my eyes.

Nice eye candy. It went well with all the cakes and sweets I had throughout the match.

Topic: Conversation About The Match

My vote goes to Jason. Fun match!

Topic: Conversation About The Match

I could use some of that Fat Huey action. that match was… unforgettable. In several ways.

Thanks Jason and Matt and Josh. very nice job!

My forum comp. entry

What a mess

Topic: Conversation About The Match

I’m giving it to Jason.
But Matt did some great stuff, just on fewer volleys than Jason.

Topic: Conversation About The Match

That last volley is ‘comprehensive’, shall we say. It’s got the half-toney stuff some of us like, but as much, if not more, eye-melt than any volley so far.

I just looked over all the previous volleys again, and I’m torn, but I think I’m going to nod at Matt Owens. But again, that may just be his brainwashing delivering its final payload.

Topic: Conversation About The Match

can’t pick sides. too tough. my favorite is volley is 10, but jason had a stronger overall game. wouldn’t want to be the deciding man’s shoes.

Topic: Conversation About The Match

Since we don’t have a clear winner, we’re going to keep voting open over the weekend—chime in and help choose the victor! (And no, you can’t vote for Josh.)

That means the in-forum contest remains open until the winner is announced on Monday.
(Hint, hint, naamyo.)
