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.

I think you should give @ArcticMonkey my spot because I'm not going to have time to do this. Also, I don't think I'll win against Captial's rapid reviews 0-o I would never be able to catch up(Wolf and I had that many reviews only because we are best friends and we have to win against each other and it was a snow day for 2 days).

I love how this round just kind of ends right before review day xD A full week of intense reviewing followed by that one day.

(Best of luck, @pretzelsing ^^ May the best reviewer win.)

Wait so you are telling me no one has done 96 reviews for this YWS contest? That is a new record in my books for that week.. I would guess. Can't wait to start again *evil chuckle*

Isn't the competition for this week over? I'm confused because 5 pm on Sunday GMT has passed and no one made an announcement so idk if I need to do more reviews or not to ensure a win.

I'm very confused. The end date of my competition was 1 pm today. I did 3 extra reviews which puts me at nine... Why weren't those added in? I had to work today so I got up extra early to do those reviews. I'm totally not trying to be a spoilsport, I'm just puzzled.
