			The "vanilla" form of a pyramid chain goes as follows:
			# The first player serves.
			# Two players volley off of that serve. This inherently creates a triangle (letters represent players):


			<nowiki>1:=A=</nowiki>

			<nowiki>2:A=B</nowiki>

			Next, 3-4 players will volley off of one, two, or both of those round two's, ''depending on where they are in the chain.''

			<nowiki>1:==A==</nowiki>

			<nowiki>2:=A=B=</nowiki>

			<nowiki>3:A=B=C</nowiki>

			Player 3A (bottom layer, left) volleys player 2A's video. Player 3C volleys player 2B's video. Player 3B volleys ''both''.

			OR

			<nowiki>1:===A===</nowiki>

			<nowiki>2:==A=B==</nowiki>

			<nowiki>3:=AB=CD==</nowiki>

			Players 3A and 3B volley 2A, while players 3C and 3D volley 2B.

			This format extends as far as you wish. Players can repeat if you want, but generally each round is by a different person.

A '''Pyramid Chain''' is a special type of [[Chain]] that grows/shrinks in a triagonal format, thus being shaped like a 2D pyramid.

Due to their nature of involving lots of people, they tend to be non-sanctioned tennis events and rarely see development outside of that.
