 ==Triples Tennis==
-This style of play is largely the same as doubles, however it generally will go to 8 rounds instead:

-* 1A
-* 2A
-* 1B
-* 2B
-* 1C
-* 2C
-* 1ABC
-* 2ABC
-There have been few, if any non-tournament matches of this type. One tournament has taken place - the [[Triples Tennis Tournament]].
+In June 2011, {{ChrisGendo}} further expanded upon RAKninja's original Doubles Cup idea and introduced the idea of Triples Tennis, which worked the same as Doubles Tennis except now with the addition of one more person on each side. The playout on a competitive field would be:
+A + B + C vs. D + E + F
+* A Makes Round 1
+* D Makes Round 2
+* B Makes Round 3
+* E Makes Round 4
+* C Makes Round 5
+* F Makes Round 6
+* ABC Make Round 7 collaboratively
+* DEF Make Round 8 collaboratively
+Matches of this type however did not see any footing until February 2013, and so far only 7 have ever been played, with 6 of those actually completing. All of these took place during the [[Triples Tennis Tournament]].
+This variant has not yet been attempted outside of a [[tournament]] setting.
 ==Quadruples Tennis==

-This style of tennis has only been attempted once.
+Quadruples tennis expands upon triples by having two teams of four players collaborate on videos. Mentions of the format come as early as 2019 <ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/what-tennis-tournaments-would-youd-like-to-see-happen/5242/12</ref> however the format was not attempted until [[Quadruples Match (2022)|2022.]]
-[[Quadruples Match (2022)]]
+As of 2026, no tournaments have been attempted in this format, other than the unofficial [[Gachapon League]].
+===Layout===
+Exactly the same as Triples but with four players per team.
