{{Gamebop}} is credited to being the first to start a match in which more than two people were volleying each other in October 2007, billed as a "Multi-Person Poop Tennis" and featuring 6 people. The players were themselves, {{BMATF}}, KingCornholio, MVJ52197, plex14 and DrHyliaPimpVDCWII, but the match never progressed beyond a couple of rounds. A revival effort of this match using the original serve and originally featuring himself, {{dew}}, TehShadzify, plasticfishtank, {{JowlHog4}} and {{MycroProcessor}} has been in process since 2013, and has managed to progress to Round 4 before becoming stagnant.

Three way matches have been the most common (helped by the [[3WTT|Three-Way Tournament]] that occurred in 2010) as well as the longest running, but multi-ways of many different amounts have occurred over YTP Tennis history. The [[MWTT|Multi-Way Tournament of 2013-2014]] had multi-ways of 6 people all the way through standard matches taking place, and on several occasions throughout 2011-2013 have occurred even 10 ways and 20 ways, few of which have seen completion.

In recent years, many larger multi-ways (6+ people) have seen success as [[1-Second Tennis]] matches.

~~Multi~~-~~Way matches are relatively similar to~~ a ~~normal 1v1~~, ~~however~~ more ~~people are involved in~~ a ~~linear sense. This makes them move like~~ a 1v1v1, 1v1v1v1, etc.

The big difference between a normal, "vanilla" match and a multi-way is that a rotation is longer than two rounds. Rather than going back and forth between two players, more players will create rounds before it circles back to the first player again. In this way the idea of a "1v1" becomes extended to a "1v1v1" (or 3-way), "1v1v1v1", etc.

The playout of a multi-way match works the same way as a standard two person match except with more people, with the round number adjusted to the amount of people playing(# of players x 3). Example:

The most common form of an X-Way is a 3 way match. This is illustrated in the example above.
