On December 30, 2015, the Young Writers Society held our first ever Monkeys v. Dragons Review Day! This rivalry goes back to 2008 when there was a contest held to determine YWS' mascot. There were many possibilities to be had, but Monkeys and Dragons were ultimately the top two. After a hard-fought, brutal campaign of no mercy, Monkeys prevailed as YWS' mascot.

Members were allowed to choose their team, with nearly 2/3 choosing to be a member of Team Dragon! At the end of the day, Dragons had 128 members and Monkeys had 52. Not surprisingly, Dragons wrote the most reviews and earned the most points, at 243 and 25,374 respectively.

Yet, despite their numerical disadvantage, the Monkeys were able to fight back hard. The average member of Team Monkey wrote 2.64 reviews whereas the average member of Team Dragon wrote 1.9 reviews. As the winning team was decided on a per capita basis, this difference was more than enough to propel Team Monkey to victory.

Nonetheless, both teams should be happy with the results. We had a lot of people participate, and a lot of reviews made. A very substantial dent was made in the Green Room backlog, putting us on firm footing for a great 2016.

Now with all that said, here's the stats!


Review teams:
Team Monkey - 137 reviews for a total of 13980 points (269 per capita)
Team Dragon - 243 reviews for a total of 25374 points (198 per capita)

Congratulations, Monkeys! I didn't expect that outcome, but what a wonderful outcome it was. ;)
