Tell us a little about yourself: Well i started pokemon a little over a year now and i basically just feel like i could be better than i currently am so i decided to sign up for this program mainly for team building as it is my biggest struggle.

Tell us a little about yourself. I entered college (very early) this year, and entered online Pokemon battling the same time. I've been reading Smogon's magazine, The Smog, and the Strategy Pokedex. I created an account to comment on teams, but haven't had a chance. I have been test-driving loads of teams, such as mono-types, choice teams, stall teams, and various tier teams. I think I'm not learning much anymore, so I'm signing up for Smogon's Battling 101 tutoring program.

What tiers would you like to learn?: BW OU, BW Ubers
Timezone: EST weekdays 3:00 pm to midnight (thanksgiving pending but beyond is perfectly clear)
tell us a little about yourself: I recently started using PO consistently and have been active on the smogon server every weekday for the last three weeks. I've also been active on IRC channel #pokemon since I joined smogon about 3 months ago (my profile lies). I primarily want to learn team building in BW OU because I have trouble building teams that can take on all the strategies effectively. I am also interested in picking up BW Ubers due to the need to diversify my play style.

Thanks for signing up everyone. We have more than enough. Unfortunately, everyone won't be able to be tutored this round. There is about a 4:1 ratio for applicants and active tutors.

Assignments will be up in the next day or so. I will do my best to get as many priority cases from previous rounds as I can.
 
KG sux, Mekkah's lame, and Setsuna is BS, so I did tutor assignments.

It was difficult because a lot of tutors are inactive, limiting the amount I can actually assign. Timezones made it difficult to match up tutors / tutees as well. I tried my best to match-up people with similar timezones while fulfilling some people's requests to be tutored by a particular tutor.

One major thing I did this time around was assign tutors to those who kept missing out during the previous rounds they signed-up. I didn't get to assign tutors to all of those who didn't get assigned one during the last few rounds, but I did get the good majority of them. I also tried to minimize the amount of people I skipped in the queue.

LC tutors were also added this round. There were a few individuals asking to be tutored in BW LC, so they were assigned one of the tutors that were approved for LC. All approved LC tutors were not assigned a tutee, however, since there were only a limited amount of people requesting LC. Hopefully this changes in the next round now that people know they can request LC tutoring.

Lastly, we're lacking ADV OU tutors. As such, I wasn't able to assign everyone who requested to be taught in ADV OU with a tutor. If you requested another tier alongside ADV OU, I tried to pair you up with a tutor for that said tier.

If you weren't assigned a tutor this round, I'm terribly sorry. Keep your eye out on this thread, though. If more tutors become available, I will definitely let you guys know and try to hook you up with one.

With that said, happy tutoring to all!

EDIT: OH ALSO, congratulations to ChouToshio for having the most awkward timezone ever :P. I am also sorry to disappoint, but Stone Cold will not be able to tutor this round due to some IRL stuff; sorry to the plethora of people who requested him.
