Knock-out championship. Randomly drawn rounds create a match between two users. Some users may receive byes in the first round. A match consists of a week-long reviewing battle. The user with the most reviews at the end of a week wins the match. This is calculated by comparing your review total at the start of the match to your review total at the end of the match. In the case of a tie, there will be a coin flip to decide the winner. If an entrant drops out, the highest scoring winner from the previous round will be reinstated. If an entrant drops out during a match, the other entrant will win that match automatically. The winner receives the adoration of his peers and a £25 Amazon voucher (roughly $38 American, or $50 Australian). The previous winner is @guineapiggirl To receive the Amazon voucher, you will need to provide me with your e-mail address. I will not retain this information. I am the judge and ultimate arbiter of any disputes about match scores and winners. Further explanations of the schedule will be posted once the number of entrants have been established. CHANGES TO PREVIOUS RULES If you entered the championship last time, there are some changes to the rules: 1. Unsportsmanlike behaviour will not be tolerated. This includes tactics such as writing reviews but not posting them until the very last minute to obfuscate your review total, and make it more difficult for your opponent to understand the size of the challenge. Such tactics will be punishable by either score deduction or automatically losing the match. I am the final arbiter of all disputes to do with unsportsmanlike behaviour and will take a very hard line on it in this competition. 2. Matches which end in a tie will be decided by coin flip. 3. Art & Photography reviews do not count. The only reviews which are counted are the same ones which YWS itself counts. Therefore, the only reviews which count towards your match total are the ones on the YWS leaderboards.

Oh Em Gee. You should let me come back and do reviews for people who aren't reviewing.

Review, you beautiful bunnies.

I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

Real life is conspiring against me reviewing. If I don't make it tonight, that's it. Tomorrow is booked. No reviewing for me tomorrow.

I just hope my internet holds out long enough for me to submit reviews tonight. If I suddenly submit a bunch of reviews within minutes of each other, it's due to my writing up reviews while I had no internet and then submitting them as soon as I get a connection. >.>

@PenguinAttack I did almost as many as you! And having 2 full time jobs and being sick? I don't know what possessed me to enter quite honestly haha. Other than for old times' sake. And wanting to kick Pengu's butt, which sadly didn't happen.

Matches 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 have finished!

Final scores

SOME BIG NAMES GO OUT IN THIS ONE!

Match 9

~~pamplemousse~~ 0 - 0 ~~QueenAnne~~

NEITHER OF THESE TWO REVIEWED, LEAVING THIS MATCH SCORELESS. As the official arbiter of the competition, I am making an executive decision to put @KatyaElefant through instead, as she lost on a coin toss after 75 reviews. Both pamplemousse and QueenAnne are eliminated.

Match 10

Lauren2010 3 - 6 PickledChrissy

PICKLEDCHRISSY THE MODSLAYER KNOCKS OUT THE GM LAUREON2010 IN A LOW-SCORING AFFAIR! CONGRATS TO PICKLEDCHRISSY WHO ADVANCES INTO THE SECOND ROUND.

Match 11

Dracula x - x ~~LadySpark~~

DUE TO LADYSPARK DROPPING OUT, DRACULA FLIES THROUGH INTO THE NEXT ROUND.

Match 12

pretzelsing 15 - 2 Adnamarine

PRETZELSING (NOT PENGUINATTACK!!!) BEATS ADNAMARINE WITH A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE, SENDING PRETZELSING INTO THE SECOND ROUND.

Match 13

Demeter 3 - 6 megsug

ANOTHER GIGANTIC MODSLAYING! DEMETER THE GM LOSES TO MEGSUG 6-3, WHICH SENDS THE PLUCKY MEGSUG INTO THE SECOND ROUND.

Match 14

lostthought 10 - 96 CapitalMonday

LOSTTHOUGHT REGRETS EVER GIVING CAPITALMONDAY THE CHANCE TO ENTER! CAPITALMONDAY ABSOLUTELY BLOWS AWAY THE COMPETITION IN ONE OF THE MOST FRENZIED DISPLAYS OF REVIEWING YWS HAS EVER SEEN! 96 REVIEWS! UNBELIEVABLE!

Match 15

StellaThomas 6 - 5 Gravity

WOW, A CLOSE ONE! STELLATHOMAS BEATS OUT GRAVITY IN A THRILLER, WHICH WENT DOWN TO THE WIRE. BUT STELLA EMERGES VICTORIOUS AND GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND.

Match 16

1morestupidlovesong 13 - 25 Kyllorac

KYLLORAC WAS WORRIED ABOUT PROGRESSING, BUT TURNS OUT, THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! A STRONG DISPLAY OF 25 REVIEWS IS ENOUGH TO BEAT AN UNLUCKY 1MORESTUPIDLOVESONG, WHOSE 13 REVIEWS WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO WIN IN PLENTY OF OTHER MATCHES.
