The '''Tennis Staff Multiway''' is an ongoing [[tennis chain]] that began on May 25, 2009~~. The concept behind it was for it~~ to be exclusive match played only by the [[Tennis Staff]] on the original [[YouChew|YouChew Forums]]. Originally started as a giant multi-way match between the active staff of the time, it soon become part of a "rite of passage" tradition, where new rounds largely became made by the most recent additions to the staff as sort of a celebration of their promotion. Even so, any member of the staff past or present can volley, with second volleys being contributed by {{RAKninja}} and {{strong414bad}}. The match has continued following Youchew's closure, extending to the Tennis Staff of YTPMania, with the most recent round being by ~~{{dani}}~~ on April 2nd, 2020.

The '''Tennis Staff Multiway''' is an ongoing [[tennis chain]] that began on May 25, 2009, conceived to be exclusive match played only by the [[Tennis Staff]] on the original [[YouChew|YouChew Forums]]. Originally started as a giant multi-way match between the active members of this staff of the time, it soon become part of a "rite of passage" tradition, where new rounds largely became made by the most recent additions to the staff as sort of a celebration of their promotion. Even so, any member of the staff past or present can volley, with second volleys being contributed by RAKninja and strong414bad. The match has continued following Youchew's closure, extending to the Tennis Staff of YTPMania, with the most recent round being by dani_phantump on April 2nd, 2020.

''"A legendary tennis match as old as time. Or, at least, as old as 2009. This decade long match and counting has long been written in stone by the Fucks of old and through successive generations of time and staff turnover. It weaves a multi-directional, evolving narrative of the warrior CHEN, born from the serve of the fabled Moogle, who has lived to survive 15 grueling tennis rounds of absurdity, complexity, humor, music, and NINJAS, which have been and continue to have been served only by those who have been presently or previously chosen by the Golden Bunny Breasted Racquet of Servitude, now represented equally by the Silver Racqueted Shield of the Knights of Justice (“We Don’t Care Who You Are, We’re Ready To Meet You”). CHEN The Warrior is themselves never seen until the fabled TheChutley's Round 15, but their immediately recognizable Battle Cry has pierced the heavens and cut through every tennis round gauntlet they have found themselves faced with, aided with by the awesome strength of their mighty weapon, The Incredible Laser Sword. Truly, nothing can stop The Warrior CHEN. In short, This is The Tennis Fuck Story. A theoretically endless multi-way in which only café staff may volley."''

dani_phantump's Round 18 precipitated a five-year hiatus for the match due to VidTens443's protracted progress as the original intended creator for Round 19, the longest gap of time experienced for the match thus far. On July 19, 2025, the current staff members along with a small group of former ones organized plans for the chain to officially continue, with {{TheChutley}} taking over in VidTens' spot. Enough subsequent spots were then confirmed and/or taken to allow the match a clear path towards Round 30.

Round 2 of this match, Crash2991's "Want Me to Play With the Very Fabric that is Your Life?"(2009) was one of the 33 Round 2's sampled in GameBop's "Seconds, Anyone?"(2010), their serve for [[GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor|their match with Sploltoen and MycroProcessor]] in the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]].

The match is your average chain, however many of the in-jokes and references pertain to the history of the staff themselves. Rounds are sometimes claimed in advance, and members can claim as many rounds as they want; however usually they only do one or two to allow space for others to participate, whether incoming or otherwise.

Originally the match was planned to go to about 30 total rounds, with a proposed volleying order being "{{Moogle}} vs. {{Crash2991}} vs. {{RAKninja}} vs. {{theHappyFungus}} vs. Emperor Ing vs. {{RabbitSnore}} vs. {{strong414bad}} vs. ~~{{Gamebop}}~~ vs. {{MycroProcessor}} vs. {{DaftPunkYoshi}} vs. {{NS2}}". While {{NS2}} showed enthusiasm for contributing to this match, he never ended up making a Round 11 like originally planned, which eventually became RAKninja's second volley. Almost every round that has been submitted to the match since (with the exception of {{strong414bad}}'s Round 14) has been by a newly added member of the Tennis Staff.

Nuthead and NS2 are the only two members of the original staff to have not made a volley, although sources signature to them both were used in RAKninja's Round 3 and ChrisGendo's Round 12 respectively.

Round 18, uploaded April 2, 2020, ended up as the longest round of the entire match, surpassing the first two rounds by over a full minute. It was the second time that dani and doog had shared a direct tennis exchange, occurring concurrently with the early stages of their separate match.

Round 18, uploaded April 2, 2020, ended up as the longest round of the entire match, surpassing the first two rounds by over a full minute. It was the second time that dani and doog had shared a direct tennis exchange, occurring concurrently with the early stages of their separate match, and was made during dani_phantump's initial six-month tenure as staff, coinciding with the brief [[NewChew]] era.

Adding the Akira Kurosawa films ''Ran''(1985) and ''Dreams''(1990) and the Quentin Tarantino film ''Kill Bill: Volume 1''(2003), the round is presented with the opening card for a dream sequence from the second added film: ''"Once I had a dream....."'' The Bride opens sliding doors into the field of "tennis dinosaurs" from the previous round, and focus is placed on the David Bowie gif in the corner of the next sequence with a fragment of "Gone to Earth"(1986) by David Sylvian being heard, acting as a way for dani_phantump to mark their meeting with their previous influence on the match. THE BIG SIX FILM HUNT title card appears over a segment from ''Dreams'' where a boy asks a girl in pink, "Aren't there six of you?".

The "Tennis Fuck Story" is then told in the form of a montage of scenes from the first added film, featuring select intersperses of edited moments from the previous round, edited moments of the previous round composited on top of the mostly unedited added footage and many instances of the previous rounds audio playing during it. The Critic and Norman both answer the phone and say hello to each other, sit in silence, and then both hang up. Stuart's face is mirrored onto itself as his cranium duplicates itself into a tower, before a video frame appears at its base to declare the structure is "BRAIN PALACE", thereby acting as a way to introduce [[JazzDanceForChildren + TangerineImpz vs. RAKninja + Crash2991|"GOING TO EDGAR SNYDER'S PACHINKO BRAIN PALACE"(2009)]] as another added source into the video. Audio of this video's ''Dragon Ball Z'' fight sequence then soundtracks the arquebus assault upon the Third Castle, with Taro's last words shown to be "Is this the Krusty Krab?" before meeting his demise. "CHEN" is heard as Jiro's forces charge the gates, Hidetora's retainers commit ritual suicide, and Lady Kaede is executed by Kurogane, with the previous round's "G Major" editing of this sound-byte and accompanying visual used to obscure the extreme blood shown during these moments. Hidetora succumbs to madness as "The Water Buffalo Song" plays with a pitch-bending vibrato effect added to it.

The most visual section of the previous round becomes purposed for a subsequent segment that additionally adds ''Unico and the Island of Magic''(1983) and the Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian song "Forbidden Colors"(1983) which plays to the end, with the previous round being rhymically and tonally edited to the songs central motif. The lyrics are augmented with the previous round to be heard as "the blood of Christ, or the WRITING ON THE WALL". The final moments of the previous round, in which RabbitSnore's missing Round 6 of this match is portrayed as a missing map texture, are underscored by "Peg"(1977) by Steely Dan, repeating the lyrics "it will come back" - an expression of hope towards the videos return. The video then ends with a subsequent sequence introduction from ''Dreams'': ''".....Another dream......"''

Audio of this video's ''Dragon Ball Z'' fight sequence then soundtracks the arquebus assault upon the Third Castle, with Taro's last words shown to be "Is this the Krusty Krab?" before meeting his demise. "CHEN" is heard as Jiro's forces charge the gates, Hidetora's retainers commit ritual suicide, and Lady Kaede is executed by Kurogane, with the previous round's "G Major" editing of this sound-byte and accompanying visual used to obscure the extreme blood shown during these moments. Hidetora succumbs to madness as "The Water Buffalo Song" plays with a pitch-bending vibrato effect added to it.
+The most visual section of the previous round becomes purposed for a subsequent segment that additionally adds ''Unico and the Island of Magic''(1983) and the Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian song "Forbidden Colors"(1983) which plays to the end, with the previous round being rhymically and tonally edited to the songs central motif. The lyrics are augmented with the previous round to be heard as "the blood of Christ, or the WRITING ON THE WALL". The final moments of the previous round, in which RabbitSnore's missing Round 6 of this match is portrayed as a missing map texture, are underscored by "Peg"(1977) by Steely Dan, repeating the lyrics "it will come back" - an expression of hope towards the videos return. The video then ends with a subsequent sequence introduction from ''Dreams'': ''".....Another dream......"''
