Stellar v Taxie - I still don't agree with how he moved through to this round, but Stellar is a very good battler and knows what he is doing.
Colonel M v Elevator Music - Very good match, but I know Colonel M better.
Rampardos101 v Silvaer - I know the least about these two battlers, but Silvaer knows how to play from what I've seen.
newbioform v Nachos - win the whole thing :)

Do you want to play in the tournament: yes
Experience level: I'd say I'm ok at the game. I usually go on streaks where I do really well, then streaks where I do really badly. My CRE on the Standard ladder is a 1365.
A little about myself: I've been playing Pokemon since RSE, but I'd say I've only really been 'good' since D/P came out. I took a break about 4 months ago until last week when I decided I finally had the time to keep playing. I tried signing up for the Tutoring program before, in round 28, but I wasn't able to keep going because personal stuff came out.

Do you want to play in the tournament: yes
Experience level: I'm an alright battler. In my limited time available to play I've managed to get to 1500 on Shoddy before, though I want to get better. Due to shoddy dying on my computer, combined with an immense amount of schoolwork, I've been out of practice for a while. (This is also the reason Maddog, my last tutor, and I weren't able to meet a lot to work on things. He was still a great tutor though even though I only got to talk to him a few times.)
A little about myself: I'm generally a nice person. I'm very driven in schoolwork and it definitely takes priority over Pokemon, but I think I have a small respite in assignments and want to battle more.
I'd like to request Kevin Garrett as my tutor. We chat all the time and his playing style and mine are very similar, we're also on at the same times. I asked him to be my tutor for this round and he said it was OK if I requested him.

Time zone: Pacific
Regular Online Hours: I am normally on during week days from 5:30-9pm(pacific time)
And pretty much on around any time on weekends.
Experience level*: I think I am fairly decent and my prediction skills are ok but not great. I would say I need serious help with team building. Every time I feel I built a good team it ends up being bad… I want to be able to build a well rounded team, learn to make offensive teams, and maybe a few things for stall. I guess I don't know squat about synergy and which movesets are appropriate for their purpose on the team. I started having more trouble with this new plat metagame so that’s why I decided to sign up.
If its at all possible i would like to request Jabba, ipl, husk, bk, or anyone that is on at my available time and can really help me as my tutor. Thank you.
