The YWS Cup

Firestarter · 2013-01-01T16:35:53Z

The YWS Cup The Inaugural Critiquing Championship Start: January, 2013 End: To be decided http://i.imgur.com/pF57vl.jpg ENTRY IS NOW CLOSED Open to all. Schedule will be decided based on number of entrants. Knock-out championship. Randomly drawn rounds create a match between two users. Some users may receive byes in the early rounds. A match consists of a week-long reviewing battle. The user with the most reviews at the end of a week wins the match. In the case of a tie, there will be a week-long replay immediately following the end of the match. Because I'm cruel. The later final rounds will consist of month-long battles just to ramp up the tension. The winner receives the adoration of his peers and probably an Amazon voucher of some sort (to be decided) and will be known as the YWS Cup Champion until the next Championship. The runner up will receive a slightly worse prize (to be decided). If nobody enters, I automatically win the YWS Cup. Forever. The picture above is not the finished YWS Cup. Someone with photoshop skills will make it. Please. I am the judge and ultimate arbiter of any disputes about match scores and winners. Further rules and explanations of the schedule will be posted once the number of entrants have been established. 23 Entrants: Rydia Hannah VereenVKS Lauren2010 Elinor Brynn Stella Thomas LouisCypher Audy Griffinkeeper Shadow_Vyper noninjaspresent Alteran Kyllorac Shino Dreamwalker EnchantedPanda ash211 Mush99 PenguinAttack znale1 FermentingFruit zephion guineapiggirl YWS First Round Draw 23 users have entered the cup: Rydia Hannah VereenVKS Lauren2010 Elinor Brynn Stella Thomas LouisCypher Audy Griffinkeeper Shadow_Vyper noninjaspresent Alteran Kyllorac Shino Dreamwalker EnchantedPanda ash211 Mush99 PenguinAttack znale1 FermentingFruit zephion guineapiggirl Due to the uneven numbers, not everybody will have to compete in the First Round. 9 entrants will get a bye to the Second Round. The remaining 14 entrants will enter the First Knockout Round, meaning 7 matches will be drawn. Hence, the 7 victors will join the 9 who received a bye, to comprise the 16 taking part in the Second Round. The draw was randomised using paper and a hat.

Y'all. Hiding reviews is SO not in the spirit of the cup. FermentingFruit reviews in art and photography so her reviews don't show, not cause she hides them.

you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants
are you a green room knight yet?
have you read this week's Squills?

But even looking in the A&P section, she hasn't got any recent (as in this round recent) posts. And she admits to having a sneaky plan. Though she could just be waiting 'till last minute. Or maybe she's pulling out of the comp. *Ponders*

I have, but I haven't posted yet because I don't want to give you a number, but it looks like we're doing the same thing

P.S: Look at the gender Hannah, I'm a dude lol.

Save time... see it my way.

Stuff got too close between me and guineapiggirl when we started giving each other numbers, so I decided I'll wait until last minute to post, so you won't know how many I have.

Save time... see it my way.

There's no rules against it, but it is considered unsportsmanlike behaviour. Reviews are supposed to be done openly so that your competitor has a chance to react and match your attempts.

Actually, for the next round, I might make up rules against it because I don't like it. For now you've escaped based on me failing to predict anyone would be that devious, but in the future posting reviews at the last second will mean those reviews are considered null and void.

It's much more interesting to know I'm a solid 10 in front of Kyll at the moment.
