SOMETHING NEW THIS ROUND!

An apprentice tournament, run concurrently with the normal tutoring term, is going to take place this round! The first 16 apprentices who indicate their desire to participate in their sign up post will be given a spot... just respond "yes" to the tournament participation question included in the format given below.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to make the deadlines for this tournament; there will be no extensions of any kind. If you do not have the time to get assigned matches done promptly, it would be better for you to wait for a different round. Blue Kirby will be administering the tournament, and it will be managed in this forum. Be sure to pay attention to updates here to stay current on the proceedings! All standard rules apply, check out the Tutoring Tournaments page on the site for rules information! If you have questions about the tournament itself, Blue Kirby is your contact.

This round will last for 3 weeks, until
October 18, 2008

We are ready to begin Round Thirty-Two of the tutoring program, which will focus SOLELY on D/P OU standard battling; If you wish to get a tutor for this round all you have to do is post your profile in the format below. Tutors will be an excellent resource for you to learn Pokemon team building and battling strategies, as well as someone who can help "initiate" you into the Smogon Community. They are here for you...so take advantage!

This round will last for 3 weeks, until October 18, 2008

*You don't have to be good...just willing to learn. So, don't be shy; Sign up now!

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO USE SHODDY BATTLE TO PARTICIPATE!

I will begin assigning all tutors to appropriate apprentices. If you are still looking for a tutor after all tutors have been assigned...you have the option of looking through the tutor roster and PM'ing a suitable person (one who is online during similar hours) to ask them if they will take you on as a second apprentice. It's as simple as that!!

If at any point during this round you encounter a problem (difficulty getting together with your tutor, etc.), let me know and we will work to resolve the issue.

This one really is something different! I've combined both Round 30 and Round 31 into this tournament - selecting 16 players from each. The player that advances the farthest from their own group will be considered the winner for their own (so obviously this is going to be the overall winner and one other player). Let's begin!

Nenoplan v Corrupted
Olie v pichuman
newbioform v matty
MiaLeet v Espreon
Basics v charmander162
Giant Enemy Crab v ceramic
Helios v Mysterio713
Kopie v berserkpenguin
RandomBoredGamer v Kira
LightWolf v thetorsoboy - Advanced.
Puggy v RB Golbat
Lightning Storm v Shelcario
xX_reaper_Xx v mailman
Phantasia v Pokemon_Master09
Sikh Assassin v Drunk Bidoof
Valantaro v animenagai

Rules:
~ Evasion Clause enabled
~ Freeze Clause enabled
~ OHKO Clause enabled
~ Sleep Clause enabled
~ Species Clause enabled
~ Timed Battle enabled
~ Avoid scouting (scouting on purpose will result in a disqualification from the tournament)
~ No illegal movesets (such as Pursuit & Selfdestruct Snorlax)
~ Any Pokemon defined as "Uber" by Smogon is banned from the tournament (yes, this means Garchomp!)
~ Please PM logs to me after completing your battles to clear up any conflicts should they arise

If you have any queries, please forward them to myself or Aeolus.

The deadline for this round is September 20, 7:00PM (GMT +8).

i woke up in a new bugatti
Holy shit, so that's why there wasn't "another" tourney!

I'll get my battle done ASAP BK.

Let's hope my extreme lack of confidence and overthinking doesn't fuck me up on the first rounds.
 
Here's to hoping that my gimmicky team actually works. Or at least gets me past round 1.


Sadly it did not as a certain Pokemon on my opponents team hindered my ability to set up.

Lost to RandomBoredGamer

matty is obviously the favourite (and one of my fav users :D) but newbioform is my apprentice. He is severly underrated and whilst matty *should* win on paper, I wouldn't count on it. Newbioform is not someone to take lightly. Also predicting animenagai to totally dominate, or lose my respect forever and ever :P

Have fun with birds and bees.

Heh, yay go Mysterio! Just watch, he and I are going to work together to make a dominating team so that he can open up a can of whoop-ass on this tourney. :D
 
Me v Matty Finals :D
I'm joking though, since most people here are very good, sad to see there can only be one winner of this.
 
damn, you know me MS, i'm up and down (that's what she said). i haven't been playing for the last few days so i'm a bit rusty. i'll probably make a new team before i challenge valantaro. i shouldn't take TOO long so i hope that's cool.
 
I'm doomed aren't I. =/

Well, I'll PM Sikh in a minute, please wait for my incredibly lazy self. :)

EDIT: I just made a team within half an hour, this is totally not good, it's probably metagame weak. =( This shows how 1 round of tutoring is not enough to aid me....
 
Posting to say I'm going to fuck everyone here up. :P
Contacted my opponent; no response thus far, but I haven't been waiting terribly wrong.
