Wow! It's quite rare to get a Review Day like the November 2014 Review Day! Participants saw a number of twists and turns with the two teams neck and neck with one another throughout much of the day.

However, it didn't start off that way. The Earthbenders took an early and large lead of over 3,000 points, but the Black Knights redoubled their efforts and worked long through the night to not only pull even but to pull ahead as well. At one point, the Black Knights managed to gain a 1,000 point advantage over their opponents -- a 4,000+ point swing from their position early on in the day.

But like the mighty badgermole, the Earthbenders persevered (and perhaps even threw in some lava bending for good measure). By the end of the day and after the dust had settled, they managed to win by a little more than 500 points.

Excellent job to all who participated!

Review teams:
Team Earthbenders - 266 reviews for a total of 25495 points

Black Knights - 243 reviews for a total of 24918 points

Oh wow... I totally didn't expect to be one of the top typers. <3 This was by far the best review day yet. Both teams did absolutely amazing.

I agree with Cricket, this was the besssssssst review day! Both teams did so well, it was almost a tie and we cleared the Green Room!

This should be documented in YWS history.
