A Multi-Way, of X-Way Match is a tennis type that involves a larger amount of people per rotation than normal (three or more).
Layout
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 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:
A vs. B vs. C so 3 players x 3 rounds to each = 9 rounds total.
- A serves, and also makes rounds 4 and 7
- B makes Round 2, 5, and 8
- C makes Round 3, 6, and finishes the match with Round 9.
The difference between this and a chain is that multiways have repeating patterns, while chains do not.
History
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 himself, 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, dani_phantump, TehShadezify, 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 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 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.
Tournaments
This concept was explored to the extreme during 3WTT and MWTT; the latter had multi-ways of up to six people!
