Pokemon Online/Shoddy Username: HoiPolloi
Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT +1 18:00-23:00; on weekends all day
What tier do you want to learn?: BW Ou
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm from Germany and I still have to go school. My favourite subjects are maths, chemistry and physics. After school I want to study medicine. In my spare time I do athletics, origami (complex origami, not small boats and other easy things like this) or obviously play Pokemon. Although I haven't reached 25 posts yet (23, so close), I think I deserve to be tutored, because I'm really trying hard to improve my skill, and for this goal a tutor would be helpful. I'm highly motivated to learn new things. If I get a tutor, I hope to improve my battle strategy, and how to make good decisions while battling. A little help in the teambuilding section would be nice too.

We have more than enough sign-ups for now! Thanks to all who joined. Expect tutor assignments to be up later today or early tomorrow!

Look out for the ADV OU tutee tournament in a couple of minutes or so.

2 hours later and I'm done! Trying to match up people by timezones + tier requests is quite the pain.

I gave tutors to the first batch who were fast enough to sign-up, and more importantly, gave tutors to those who repeatedly kept missing out during previous rounds (which is quite a lot of people). I didn't really give tutors to those who kept signing up every round / receiving tutors every time, since there are a ton of other people who have been waiting a long time for a tutor, and they deserve a chance for once. I had some tutors take on two tutees this round as well, since we're really lacking in the active tutor department, and tried to fulfill as many requests as possible.

If there are any problems, feel free to contact me. Good luck, everyone! I'll update the pairings on-site some other time.
