Multiplied Time Tennis

Multiplied Time Tennis, often shortened to MTT, is a style of tennis where every round is double the length of the previous.

Layout

The "vanilla" MTT goes for eight rounds, generally using these times:

• Round 1: 1 second long
• Round 2: 2 seconds long
• Round 3: 4 seconds long
• Round 4: 8 seconds long
• Round 5: 16 seconds long
• Round 6: 32 seconds long
• Round 7: 64 seconds long (1 minute and 4 seconds)
• Round 8: 128 seconds long (2 minutes and 8 seconds)

Very often during matches sources can only be added for the first 1-2 rounds. This adds a unique challenge as you cannot resort to adding new sources and have to keep thinking of new things to do with what you're given! More modern matches tend to ignore this rule, however. Do what works the best for you and your opponent.

Variants

The most common variant is simply to go for six rounds only. Usually players would either begin at the start of the scale (1 second - 32 seconds) or the end (4 seconds - 256 seconds).

Another common variant was seen in Tennis League 5 as one of its match types; as League matches are only four rounds, players started at the 16 second mark and went from there, with round 4 being 128 seconds.

The general times are not required, however - there have been MTT matches that have started with much longer timeframes, or went much longer than 8 rounds; these however require much more effort than already required for a MTT and thus are very rare (but very cool).

Divided Time Tennis

A variant of MTT that goes in reverse; every round is HALF the length of the previous!
