The Pick Up Contest is an event for the Japanese High School and Middle School 1st String. Prior to the U-17 World Cup, the head coach takes the tennis players to the beach, presumably in the US, and tasks everyone to pick up at least one girl. Those who failed would have to sample Akuto Mitsuya's Inui-Juice filled rice balls. This events runs from chapter 136 to 137 of the New Prince of Tennis manga.
