Welcome to Round 100 of Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor, you're in the right place. Read the rules carefully and fill out the signup template below.
  • You must be able to access IRC or Skype, or whatever your tutor wants as the primary form of communication. We have an IRC channel #battling101 for easy communication with most of the tutors.
  • You, the tutee, are responsible for setting up times with your tutor. Don't expect them to come to you. Take the initiative and post on their VM wall first. Additionally, please be patient if your tutor doesn't respond in the first 2-3 days.
  • Use the Tutee Talk forum to complain about your tutor (or praise them if they're doing a good job). These are no longer mandatory, but if your tutor is ridiculously inactive or is a complete jackass, COMPLAIN HERE. Nobody can see your tutee talk posts except for you and the Battling 101 Staff; everything is confidential.
  • Don't request tutors unless they have agreed to tutor you. Tutors: if you agree to take on that tutee, you may have to take two tutees depending on our matchup situation.
  • You may request priority if you were skipped in the previous two rounds, or if you had a ridiculously inactive tutor. Make it obvious in your signup thread that you are requesting it, otherwise we'll just glance over it when making pairings.
Fill out this form below, failure to fill out this form adequately means that Battling 101 Mods can ignore your signup post.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a baller that likes to play rugby and go to hackathons, but I'm pretty busy with stuff irl and often end up just sleeping through everything I need to go to.
Are you able to use either IRC or Skype?: Yes
Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Yes
The Blacklist (aka Battling 101 Detention)
You will be banned from signing up for future rounds if:

  • You show poor activity over the course of a round (banned for 2 rounds)
  • You decide during the round that you do not wish to be tutored anymore, or you mistakenly sign up for a tier you thought was something else, and no longer wish to be tutored. This is most common when selecting Smogon Doubles / VGC, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING (banned for 2 rounds)
  • You show a lack of enthusiasm or you're consistently distracted by other things (banned for 1 or 2 rounds)
  • You fail to complete the tutor evaluation form that we will send out during the last week of the round (banned for 2 rounds, infracted for 1 point)
  • You are annoying to deal with. This will vary from tutor to tutor. Some tutors don't like it when you talk back, argue with them, whine about hax, whine about sucking at Pokemon, or any version of the 'woe is me' attitude. Tutors get pissed at different things, so if they complain to us that you are exhibiting poor behavior, expect to be on the blacklist. (banned for 3 rounds)
Repeated offense of any of the situations above means you will have an extra round added to the regular ban. For example, if you show for a second round that you have poor activity, your ban will be 3 rounds. If you have been on the blacklist for three different instances, you will be EXPELLED from Battling 101 (perma-ban from signing up).





This round will end on Sept 23.

This thread will close after 60 amount of posts have been made to prevent a huge backlog of people requesting priority for the next round.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: Eastern Standard Time. School starts late this year (September 8th), therefore my availability is frequent until then. Upon starting, 5-10 PM EST each day should work.

What tier do you want to learn?: Overused, ORAS

Tell us a little about yourself: I’m a Sophomore in high school and one of my biggest hobbies include Community Service. It's a certain satisfaction that is unobtainable from other pastimes. I recently returned from Ecuador, on a service tour, so this comes at a great time. Pokemon has been a favorite of mine since I first picked up Pokemon Sapphire. Since, I have joined pokemonshowdown. I would love to learn how to be one of those players that burns 100% of the time with scald.

Are you able to use either IRC or Skype?: I prefer Skype, but IRC is usable.

Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Yes.

What tier do you want to learn?: ORAS OU

Tell us a little about yourself: Over recent times I’ve really been making a concerted effort to better my ability. I want to go from a ladder tryhard (I’ve only peaked #4) to becoming a more well rounded player. Hopefully after tutoring I will garner the skills to achieve/succeed in the tournament environment, because I desire to make that transition. I feel like tutoring would be the perfect thing to help me achieve this. I guess learning how to ladder would be nice too seeming that OLT is running right now, and making it into that would be good

Are you able to use either IRC or Skype?: Skype, although if someone wants to teach me how to use IRC I’d be fine to use that too.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: US Central Time, or GMT - 5. I'm most available in the late morning and early-to-mid afternoon or the evening. I could reasonably be paired with a European tutor, meeting at 10:00-3:00 my time, or one from anywhere in the US.

Tell us a little about yourself: I've been a casual player for a while now, but recently, I've developed an interest in Battle Spot Doubles.

I enjoy playing Minecraft and moderating online communities.
