Age: 16
Time zone: Central
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 7 PM - 3 AM
Do you want to play in the tournament: Yes
Experience level: Fairly experienced as in I know the fundamentals about the game, basically everything you can read on site. I'm having trouble applying that to team building or winning matches, though. So I don't need the "Scizor is a physical sweeper with Swords Dance" as much as the "this is a mistake you should avoid, this is how you build a team, this is how to make informed prediction decisions".
A little about myself: I could be banned!

I would like to request Aeroblacktyl for my tutor per a recommendation by Gouki.
