~~The layout of MWTT was rather unique. Each set had 3 matches each - Yellow, Teal~~ and ~~Purple (which spelled out YTP!) - with a varying number of people. There were three rotations per set~~, ~~where everyone would go in~~ a ~~row (just like a regular multi~~ way). At the ~~end~~, ~~voters picked who did~~ the ~~best out of each~~ group~~. The person who had the lowest score for each set was eliminated. The groups were then shuffled and the next set began~~.

Initially conceived by both {{dew}} and CaptainStringCheese in 2011, the original concept was a massive 20-way match that slowly decreased in number until there was one player standing. Together with much of the other Tennis Staff members of the time, the present form that the tournament would take eventually molded together through group discussion.

~~This process~~ went on ~~until~~ each ~~group~~ had ~~only~~ one player ~~left~~. At this ~~point~~, the ~~final~~ match ~~was~~ a 9 way match ~~between these 3 players~~. ~~The person who got~~ the ~~highest score~~ in this ~~set won!~~

The layout of the MWTT was rather unique. Each set had 3 matches each, organized for fun into Yellow, Teal and Purple categories (which spelled out YTP!)with a maximum of 6 players in each match lineup. Each match went a normal three rotations in the volleying order set for the match before being voted on with an Olympic voting system (contributed by trepmaws). Each player in a match would be scored 1 to 10 by a given vote, and then all vote scores would be calculated for an average. The player with the lowest average score in each set would be eliminated.

The layout of sets were drawn as:

Set 1: 18 Players, 3 6-way matches

Set 2: 15 Players, 3 5-way matches

Set 3: 12 Players, 3 4-way matches

Set 4: 9 Players, 3 3-way matches

Set 5: 6 Players, 3 standard 2-way matches

Set 6: 3 Players, 1 3-Way Final Match, with the winner going to the receiver of the highest score.

The round time limit was also deliberately set to half the max time limit of the standard (0:20 to 1:30), as {{dew}} anticipated that many extensions would be needed and that this would hopefully be a way to compensate for the time that people would spend on each round, de-emphasizing the utilization of long round times. The turnover time was also reduced back to 3 days, as opposed to 4 which had been used over the last few tournaments.

Penalties for lateness/going outside of rules was fixed at one point for each off the total average score, the lateness being for every 3 days a player was late, resulting in disqualification after 9. It would be after this a replacement would be requested.

{{dew}} wrote regarding replacements:

"During a match, if a player decides they will no longer be able to participate in the tournament, they may select a player from the list to play for them, who will simply pick up from where the player left off in a match*. Note that a replacement is permanent**, and once chosen they will take the place of the original player for the remaining course of the tournament. In the event a player is disqualified due to late penalties or does not choose a replacement, the replacement players will be contacted about the open spot and whoever volunteers first will play in place of the disqualified.

(*)This rule is exempt in the 2 way matches of Set 5. In this set replacements will be chosen like that of the 4th tennis cup; if a player decides they will no longer be able to participate in the tournament, they may select a player from the list to play for them. If done so, the match will restart from the beginning, using the un-replaced player's first round as the serve. In the event a player is disqualified due to late penalties or does not choose a replacement, their opponent may choose to either accept the win automatically and move on to the next set of matches, or select a new player from the replacement list to play against. If the replacement is disqualified then the opponent will automatically move on."

(**)If in the beginning of a tournament a player drops out before submitting any rounds for their match (or the tournament entirely) their replacement essentially acts as the original player of said match and the dropout can rejoin the tournament as a replacement if they wish to later on. Once a round is submitted by a player however, this window becomes invalid and dropouts afterward become permenant as originally. This also only applies to conditions in Set 1.

The reason for the second exception was due to the numbers who originally ended up not being able to stay committed before start, including {{dew}} herself, but would possibly be more committed at a future time and still want to play.
