Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
You are right zebraiken, would be a shame to not get the battles done. It was kinda difficult around european times, so hopefully everything runs smoother around the weekend.
I will be available from 11pm-12pm GMT+2 the next two days.
