Rating 102: Tutee Sign Ups

[Jirachi]

Rating 102

Rating 102 is basically, the Battling 101 of Rate My Team. If you are putting the required effort in RMT, but find yourself a bit lost when it comes to rating, this is a thread for you. If you only need some help improving the quality of your rates, this is good for you too. Basically, if you're not an official Team Rater yet, and want to become one, but you aren't good enough, you should sign up for this program.

It's a fairly easy concept. Once you sign up for this program, you will be assigned one of the available tutors. This tutor will give you tips and help you improve your rates. All tutors are qualified for this as they are official Team Raters themselves.

Once you are assigned a tutor, you are encouraged to join #ratemyteam on synirc so you can talk in real time with your tutor and other official Team Raters.

In order to sign up, you must PM Jirachi, undisputed, and Harsha with the following information, following this template:

Why should you be tutored:

Once you have PMed us with that information, be patient and in the next few days you should receive a PM from your tutor. If you don't get one, don't panic, it may be just because there aren't enough available tutors at the moment. Don't worry though, you'll be informed via PM if such a situation occurs.

Here is an example of what your PM should look like:

Why should you be tutored: I've been rating for a month now, and I really enjoy it. I feel like I could use a little extra guidance in order to take my rates to the 'next level.' Sometimes, I have trouble working within the framework of the RMT (I tend to change too many Pokemon), and sometimes I tend to focus too much on one particular threat. I'd really like a Tutor that can help me with these issues because I feel like I have a lot to gain.
