Just as a reminder, we will be now rewarding the winner of the Tutee Tournament with a custom user-title, along with intense media coverage. There is also a possibility for the finals to be hosted on a Smogcast, though that is subject to timing schedules.

Welcome to the signup thread of the tutoring tournaments for Battling 101! Here, all tutees who signed up for round 80, who was tutored by someone are eligible to sign up to play. Due to time constraints, only the first 16 people who indicate interest in the Apprentice Program signup thread will be allowed to participate. If we get more, however, I will consider increasing the number of participants. Also, please note that this is a XY OU tournament. Simply post your profile as you did when you signed up to get tutored (we will be checking everyone's post to make sure that they were in fact tutored during round 80). For reference:

Tell us a little about yourself: Please familiarize yourself with the rules below that are specific to Tutoring Tournaments. They can be found on-site here, but I will list them below for your convenience.
  1. Battles will be 6 on 6 (XY OU) played on the Showdown simulator.
  2. Tournament rounds will last a maximum of 1 week. No extensions will be granted. It is up to the discretion of the tournament administrator to determine who will advance in the event of an incomplete match.
  3. Pokemon that are considered "Uber" are banned from use on all teams. Smogon's tier list is supreme. Smogon's ban list can be found here.
The following clauses must be enabled for all Tutoring Tournament matches.
  • Timed Battle: Select this clause when challenging for all Smogon Tour matches. This is necessary in the interest of finishing the tournament in a speedy manner.
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffings on his or her team.
  • Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
  • Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
  • OHKO Clause: Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KO opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.
  • Wifi Clause: Team Preview must be enabled for all XY games.

Tell us a little about yourself: Just a guy who loves animals. :) I've hanged out in other smaller forums but now I decided to join one of the biggest forums of all and Im liking it. Been making myself known by helping with the sprite project but I am also a pretty good battler in the tiers I play in. Still looking to improve my battling skills though so Im asking a tutor to help me out with that.

Tell us a little about yourself: I used to be a huge lurker, and just recently got more active (as a result I finally got badged, yay!) I have peaked muultiple times in the top 5 on the XY LC ladder, and am an avid player there, and peaked 3rd on the BW LC ladder last gen. Unfortunately outside the stale OU metagame and LC, I dont feel comfortable in any tier. I would love to learn Ubers or UU :) Currently I am a Senior in High School, working towards getting a good college with a nice Poli-Sci Program.

Tell us a little about yourself: I am Italian, I play competitively since july 2009 but until now I have always focused on the Italian tournaments (where I got dozens and dozens of wins) and that's why I think you don't know me. I was the master of shinycarletto (remember him? he now plays Lol). I want to be clear: I want to peak at least the Top 16 of the next Smogon Tour, I know I have the qualities to do it so I just need to improve myself in XY OU. If you want you can test me whenever you want and I will show you I'm not lying.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT-2 (currently on DST, will revert to GMT-3 on February) Saturdays and Sundays mostly all day. Will be avaiable early night during weekdays when January ends.
What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU (preferably) or XY Doubles.
Tell us a little about yourself: I used to play ADV in Netbattle but I was mostly bad at it. I can't say I pioreered anything but I was one of the few people interested in developing the 2v2 metagame then. I'm sure they are out there but I never saw anyone use Skill Swap Gengar with Agiligross nor Taunt Alakazam (Inner Focus) like I did. My biggest claim to glory is probably the one time I tied with ViL in ADV UU (though he Exploded his Solrock so maybe I technically won?). Other than that, will major in Electric Engineering soon.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT -4 (east coast US) on IRC most often midday during weekdays, but I check the forums frequently otherwise.
What tier do you want to learn?: XY LC
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been playing Pokemon for several years, since the ADV days in fact. Only until late DPP did I gain an interest in competitive mons. I started playing competitive seriously a few months after BW came out, and I've been into it ever since. After some time I joined the forums and got into the mentoring program. I was active for a month or two on IRC, but summer break came around, and I died for a while. Back in September last year I became active again and got back on IRC and started actually being known. I gained an interest in LC the week XY came out, and once Sneasel was banned I made a team and joined the fun. Since then I've fallen in love with the tier and the community, but I always felt my battling skills were not quite up to par. So I figured I'd join this round of b101. If it' worth anything, @premagreed to tutor me.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Yes.

Tell us a little about yourself: Ever since Gen IV popularized competitive battling, I've been fascinated by the cool strategy and awesome plays I see on youtube. Totally dedicated a whole summer to watch a whole bunch of wi-fi battles on youtube. Back then I used to watched a lot of random youtubers but slowly kept watching a cool wifi battler known as Xenon3120. Nowadays I watch wifi battles from all poketubers such as shofu and Pokeaim.

Tell us a little about yourself: There isn't much to say on the personal front. Still in high school, and the most defining thing about my personality is my liking of Pokemon, which isn't too spectacular here. I've been lurking since the beginning of B2W2, and made an account shortly after XY's release. I do have some experience battling but I have A LOT to improve on, mostly on the teambuilding front.

Copypasted from the sign-up thread, if that's okay.

edit: A slot just opened.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a sixteen year old male from Canada (eh?), in my last year of highschool, who plays pokemon as something to do. I would really love to learn XY OU so I can beat my friends :P I was decent at BW OU, but I really want to do well in XY OU. I've done some battling pre-pokebank, nothing too extensive, but definitely enough to know the basics. I've currently hit a point where I am losing a lot, but can't get any better without some help, which is why I really need an XY OU tutor.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Absolutely
