Multiplied Time Tennis, often shortened to MTT, is a style of tennis where every round is double the length of the previous. It was originally conceived by MycroProcessor on November 25, 2008[1], and their match with McMaNGOS was the first successful variant of this completed on December 10, 2009.
Due to the stipulation that sources cannot be added in this variant, along with the initial templates and impressions created by the variants inventor, Multiplied Time Tennis is commonly, and at times exclusively associated with heavier, complex editing styles, with multiple matches achieving notoriety on their spectacle alone.
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 players cannot resort to adding new sources and have to develop new strategies to respond to the previous rounds material in isolation while matching the increasing time thresholds. Modern approaches to this variant have at times been looser on this restriction.
Variants
The original intended variant of Multiplied Time was eight rounds, though matches of this type are apparently commonly played with only six rounds. Another 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 initial time has not always been one second, with matches sometimes starting with much longer durations (leading to hour-long final rounds), or as short as possible (one frame, also known as Multiplied Frame Tennis).
Divided Time Tennis
Sploltoen(BSP666c) vs. superdarkluigi4ever(2009) featured a notable subversion of the Multipled Time formula, by having the serve begin two minutes, 8 seconds long and the final round finish out at only one seconds. This variant has rarely been played since its initial execution.
