Shoddy Battle nick: Guraboy
Age: 20
Time zone: PST
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Im on pretty much all through the day at various times. Guaranteed times im on are most likely 8-12 PM.
Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? yes
Experience level: Im fairly decent at battling, with basic predicting abilities, but team building is something I find difficult. Mainly because i typically use Pokemon i like as opposed to Pokemon that fit the job. Also coming up with unique EV spreads is something i struggle at as well. I pretty much stick to the listed spreads in the analysis, thus am somewhat limited.
A little about myself: Im in my last year at UCSD, and preparing to begin the excruciating process of applying to Graduate school :|
Started playing pokemon to reminisce, but instead got hooked :O

Yeah, I luckily caught this thread just a little before I started studying like crazy for APUSH.
Thanks Olie. I checked the times each round is posted and they are usually around 10am here, so I guess I'll be fine.

Regular Online Hours: Mon-Fri 3:30-9:30 Sat-Sun 12:00-9:30 unless something comes up in which case i will let you know
Do you want to play in the tournament: no
Experience level*: In all honesty I used to play alot of DP myself back before Chomp was banned and Weezing was still OU if that gives you a bit of timeframe, so I know a very minimal amount about teambuilding but I still suck at it and I know next to nothing about the current metagame. I guess that's why I'm here, right?
A little about myself: Junior in high school, planning on going to UW Med when I graduate. Starting a video game club at my school within the next couple of weeks, wish me luck C:
No preference in tutor really but if Jackal or Max is free by the time you get my post I would probably learn from them the best :3

I'm a tad late, but I wasn't tutored in round 31. Could I still have a tutor?

Experience level*:A little about myself: I'm a decent battler, i just need help with Team Building. I've been playing competively when D/P came out, and ever since i grew alot. I've learned about EVs, IVs and all other things so yeah. Although i can predict fairly good, it could be better but i really need someone to help me building effective teams.
I'm a bit late but i really need help! I've been waiting so long for this if i just knew the topic was already made <.>

Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? No
Experience level: I've been playing Shoddy for a while now and have a number of teams that I can use to moderate success, but my prediction skills leave a lot to be desired.
A little about myself: I use weather teams more often than not. In non-Pokemon matters, schoolwork can limit my online time if I get a lot at once.

Patience is a virtue. All available tutors should be assigned within the next day, hopefully.
Hang tight.

Time zone: GMT -5
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM Fridays, 8:00 PM - 11:30 PM Saturdays. Not generally available Sunday-Thursday, but I can do my best to be on if required. Those are just the hours that I can be on shoddy, I can be on the site every day.
Do you want to play in the tournament: yes or no? Yes
Experience level:
I've been competitively battling since the end of 2007, and have decent prediction and can make fairly good teams, but it seems like they all lack a certain something that keeps them from being great. I would like to learn from this what exactly it is I'm missing.
A little about myself:
I'm a senior in a private high school, and demanding work keeps me from practicing on shoddy any more than Friday and Saturday nights.
Edit: Aw crap, looks like it's too late.

Do you want to play in the tournament: No
Experience level: None. I have read a lot, lurking for a while on your site, but I am sorta clueless on how to build a somewhat decent team, since there are so many diverse options. That's why I'm applying.
A little about myself: I would like to start playing shoddy battle and learn a few basic concepts about prediction and team building. I know this thread is overfilled with requests, but I guess it's worth giving a try anyway.
Note: Besides regular online hours, I could arrange meetings with my tutor if my timezone becomes an issue.
Hoping I can get in... somehow ;D

Experience level*:A little about myself:
I use to battle back in the days. I left for a couple months because my social life was booming and working full time was a hassle. I would like a tutor to show me how the metagame has changed in the last 4 months.
I would prefer someone like gouki or jackal. If not Id be willing to try anyone else.
