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.
I'll probably be done with this assignment by the 13th, or we could do it on the 15th (1 day past deadline but macle will understand) if that suits you. I should be able to play earlier on the 15th if that helps
