I was intending singles and since then have been informed that ground plays better at doubles. I'd need to practice both before deciding, so probably my first two battles would be one of each. If I choose doubles it would be 2apr.

Don't let others' opinions decide your format for you. I was told almost exclusively that Water was a doubles type and its Gym should be managed as Doubles, but I ran my short career as mostly Singles (which is how I also would've formatted the other two excess challenges I had had I not been removed). I'm of the opinion that Ground can be done successfully either way, so I'd recommend picking whichever one you are more comfortable with.

Signing up for fire qualifiers and grass qualifiers.

No hope of getting psychic gym as I was terribly under prepared and outplayed.
Pre-quals I wanted to train Malamar, which I failed to do; and post quals folks told me that Mega Slowbro should have been trained too x_x

Although by the looks of it, I might regret not training Chimchar :s

I volunteer to be qualifier subreff. Not actual reff because there are enough people and I still haven't got to starting my tournament reffings yet.

Alright, so this was fun to ponder - but for format I've decided on 4v4 2APR Doubles. Reasoning being that all 3 of you have expressed, to some degree, an inclination to at least try Doubles. And given that the skills are broadly tradable between Singles and Doubles, and 2APR Doubles is a fairly skill-intensive format... yep.

That's my excuse for the delay, anyway.
