[Angmar]

Shoddy Battle nick: Angmar
Age: 15 almost 16
Time zone: Gmt -10 (Hawaii)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): I will be unavailable on Weekdays, but sometimes I am lucky and can come on Fridays. On Saturday: anytime between 2pm and 3:30am; On Sunday anywhere between 5 pm and 2 am.
Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? Yes.
Experience level: I used to play shoddy quite a bit, but I almost always used the same two or three teams. This limited my exposure to variety, and I consider myself a noob. Lately I’ve stopped playing shoddy, and have been studying up move sets so that I can have a fresh start.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU, Ubers, UU (I would really like to learn Ubers in addition to OU, but I’ve heard that the learning curve is more difficult)
A little about myself: Academically speaking I love math and science, especially chemistry and physics, and I would claim to be a fairly diligent student. Let’s see, I’ve known one of my best friends from since I was about 3, I am a green belt in karate, and my friends call me a pyro (though I don’t see it <_<).

[TheSuperCacturne]

Shoddy Battle Nick: WorstBattler
Age: 14
Time Zone: Central time (From UK)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern Only!): The earliest I can be on is about 11:00 eastern (16:00 UK time) and the latest is 17:30 eastern (22:30 UK time). I'm usually on Shoddy a lot, so don't worry about this.
Do you want to play in the tournament: Yes.
Experience level: As my name implies, I am literally terrible at Shoddy, possibly among the worst. I've played on Netbattle in past years, but I only really got into Shoddy about a week or 2 ago. I've had my fair share of wins, but eh, not too many.
Tiers I need help in: OU, UU, Ubers
A little about myself: I am literally obsessed with computers, I am great at languages and dramatic arts, I am known as being quite smart even though I'm not), and I am an extremely avid shiny hunter who hates RNG spammers.

 

[Zach Is Ginger]

Shoddy Battle nick: Zach Is Ginger
Age: 14 (but not quite as stupid as I should be)
Time zone: GMT -5 I think. Whatever NYC is.
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm and then later in the evening as well.
Experience level: Moderate. I've created a sort of well received team a couple of months back, and I find myself getting decent ratings on the ladder.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU, Ubers, UU
A little about myself: I have another name on this site actually, but I can't get the 'forgot password function to work'. Anyway, my other account is named Crunchatize Me, I taught myself to play pokemon competitively a few months back, I'm decent I suppose. Outside of pokemon my hobbies include being overwhlemed by schoolwork other video games, books, and seeing movies with friends

 

[Ulver]

Shoddy Battle nick: ulver
Age: 18
Time zone: PST or East -3 or GMT -8
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Anywhere starting from 5:00 pm to the morning. I will not be on 100% of the time but quite a lot, especially since I'll want to be on so I can meet up.
Experience level: Probably ~1300 but very inconsistent.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU, UU, Ubers
A little about myself: I love shoddy as a strategy game fan. Right now my main problem is making a team. I've made a lot of teams but they are usually just random I'm not completely clueless when it comes to making a team but I can't do an RMT or understand why this is chosen over that half the time. The other thing I want is more practice and 1v1 to get better with battle tactics.

 

[Witnessed]

Shoddy Battle nick: Witness315
Age: 13 (ha)
Time zone: Eastern Standard Time
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): I am usually on 3:30-5 on weekdays, and available any time on the weekends.
Experience level: Moderate
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): UU/Ubers/OU
A little about myself: I am still pretty new, but I think Smogon has been great. I don't need much help in OU, I got into the top 10 on the leaderboard a few weeks ago. My rating has dropped since then, because I stopped laddering. I really want to get into UU and Ubers though. To get a view of my OU team building process, you can view my two RMT's here and here.

 

[Chaos669]

Shoddy Battle nick: Chaos669
Age: 15
Time zone: EST
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Since I'm involved in extra curricular activites along with school, my hours vary. Usually I'm online from 6PM-11PM on weekdays, and 11AM-(varies) on weekends.
Experience level: Mediocre (2 or 3 out of 10)
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU, UU, NU
A little about myself: Well, I've been trying to get into this program for months. However, I've always been late. And it looks like I'm late again. Ah well, I tried - I'd be extremely grateful however if I were to make it in this time. Anyway, I play guitar, and am a sucker for RPGs such as Final Fantasy. Currently I'm playing through TWEWY and I think it's a kickass game. All in all I'm a pretty big nerd lol.

 

[Raj]

Shoddy Battle nick: dragonites
Age: 17
Time zone: est
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 4-12pm
Experience level: expert in OU and CAP
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): UU, Ubers
A little about myself: I've peaked at 1700 on ladder before but generally maintain 1550. I'm pretty proficient in OU, but lackluster in UU and Ubers. I'm applying beacuse UU/Ubers has become stale and boring so I'm looking for something to enhance my battling experience. Outside of Pokemon, I'm a runner, basketball player, and high jumper for the best high school in Florida.

Note: Having been tutored before, and not needing OU tutorage, feel free to list someone as higher priority than myself if need be. If a tutor is willing to teach me UU or Ubers on the side, that'd be great.

 

[Unreality]

Shoddy Battle nick: unrealportal
Age: 14
Time zone: EST
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 5-9
Experience level: Played some, have a somewhat-good team.

A little about myself: On a lot, I love this place. I'm usually on each day. Dinner will get in the way, and sometimes I will arrive late due to school stuff. I don't have an AIM. I like waffles. Oh, like the guy after me, I come from Nsider2. Not tutored before :)

 

[Rolf]

Shoddy Battle nick: Rolfkip, x.x
Age: 16
Time zone: CST
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 6:00-10:00
Experience level: Mid-High
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): UU, OU - gotten upwards of 1.4k on OU ladder and mid-1.4k on UU, although that was when my hax team was rampaging with like an 80% win percentage.
A little about myself: I'm a junior in high school with a 4.0, and I'm also on the basketball team. I want to learn lots more than I know at the moment. I regular NS2 (nsider2). I really would like to learn UU to a better extent, as right now I only have a general knowledge of the metagame.

I guess my most successful team to date is my Exasperation: The Taming of Lady Luck team as far as OU goes - it also got by far the most attention.

I'd like to request Legacy Raider if that's allowed, as he has listened to me before and seems to be quite nice.

Hopefully I'll get something, but I think I was just too late :\

A little about myself: Well, I've been playing the game since R/B/Y, but competetively only since D/P. I'm not that bad of a player, but I do know that I need help. I was once an ok OU player until scizor started rampaging. After that whole change, I could never grasp the new style of play. I still have trouble with it. I'm always ready to learn and I like people who can break everything down for me.

I'd like to request Kevin Garrett as my tutor. We're on at the same times for the most part.

I know I'm too late :(. Effing cleaning all day! I've been watching everyday. The one time I don't...
