Shortage of OU / NU / Old gens this round, sorry for everybody that got skipped.

For tutees:

• Try to make the first effort to contact your tutor. If they don't respond in 3 days, make a tutee talk thread and let the Battling 101 Staff know about it.
• Please be active and try to be on your best behavior. I think the blacklist speaks for itself.

For tutors:

• Don't halfass this round. There were a lot of shitty evaluations last round and most of it was because of a lack of effort. If you need to take a break that's one thing, but don't take a break at the expense of another user (i.e. not posting in the LoA thread or letting us know about your situation before we post the pairings). In the wise words of Ron Swanson:

• Don't ignore your tutee. The most aggravating thing isn't when a tutor goes AWOL and leaves their tutee hanging, it's when they leave their tutee hanging when CLEARLY they have free time to peruse the forums and circlejerk with friends. Come on, people.
• If you're still unsure as to what the B101 Staff expects each round, there's a new sticky in the Tutor Talk forum that outlines your responsibilities. Read it.

Happy tutoring folks.
