Vs. Everyone
Vs. Everyone matches, also known as an Everyone Chain are a special type of Chain that involves one player playing volleying off a different player every time. It was first conceived by GameBop on August 23, 2011, as a special one-of-a-kind way to mark their 21st birthday.
An everyone chain blurs the line between definitions of a Chain and Multi-Way match. There is a long list of players who only play once, but there is also a set rotation (albeit somewhat arbitrary).
Format
The general format goes like this:
- The host serves.
- The first player in the list volleys - round 2.
- The host volleys - round 3.
- A 'different' player volleys - round 4.
- The host volleys yet again -round 5.
...and so on, until the host gets bored and stops responding or the match concludes at a certain point.
The "every other" format described above is considered a "vanilla" vs. everyone match. However, some versions of this format let two people or more play before the host serves again.
