Have you heard of Layer Tennis? In short it's two creatives going head to head in battle of skills. The match involves both combatants swapping a single file back & forth in realtime with 15 minutes to complete their "volley". After each volley, commentary is provided by an independent 3rd party. Winners are determined by voting via Twitter by including the #LYT hastah + the contestant of choice.
Friday's match featured Shaun Inman vs. Aaron Scamihorn, and was won by Shaun Inman with his final "volley": Sheep Not Found aka Layer 10. If you're interested the semi-finals are scheduled to kick off tomorrow, June 26th, and the finals will be on July 10th.
Very fun to follow along. Also - as an FYI, Layer Tennis is sponsored by Adobe Creative Suite 4.

That's a great idea! I love how it takes online communication to a graphical level. The web is about exchanging ideas and this certainly is a good example.
Thanks for a great find!

Hey. Just wanted to point out that the final volley from Shaun Inman was this: http://layertennis.com/090619a/10.php
The layer you have pictured and mentioned was from last season.
