We are ready to begin Round Thirty Four of the tutoring program, which will focus SOLELY on Platinum OU standard battling; if you wish to get a tutor for this round all you have to do is post your profile in the format below. Tutors will be an excellent resource for you to learn Pokemon team building and battling strategies, as well as someone who can help "initiate" you into the Smogon Community. They are here for you...so take advantage!

Keep in mind there is no tournament this round - your indicating interest will be for the sixth official tournament which occurs next round!

This round will last for 3 weeks, until December 2, 2008

A little about myself:

*You don't have to be good...just willing to learn. So, don't be shy; Sign up now!

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO USE SHODDY BATTLE TO PARTICIPATE!

I will begin assigning all tutors to appropriate apprentices. If you are still looking for a tutor after all tutors have been assigned...you have the option of looking through the tutor roster and PM'ing a suitable person (one who is online during similar hours) to ask them if they will take you on as a second apprentice. It's as simple as that!!

If at any point during this round you encounter a problem (difficulty getting together with your tutor, etc.), let me know and we will work to resolve the issue.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'll be running this tournament as per usual. I've combined both Round 32 and Round 33 into this tournament - selecting 16 players from each. The player that advances the farthest from their own group will be considered the winner for their own (so obviously this is going to be the overall winner and one other player). Let's begin!

Stellar v GotengoXGodzilla
ceramic v Wolfclaw
Goldfan v Random person
Son of Thunder v Taxie
Nachos v Acaso
Elevator Music v Shur.tugal
Matt_Lane v TheFourthChaser
genestaahhh v Thorns
91ale v newbioform
Thebattler1 v Colonel M
Silvaer v fortunecookie
MCXD v Valantaro
Xenon v LL Kratos LL
Da Letter El v RB Golbat
bladejtr v Gandalay4
StarmanXL v Rampardos101

Rules:
~ Evasion Clause enabled
~ Freeze Clause enabled
~ OHKO Clause enabled
~ Sleep Clause enabled
~ Species Clause enabled
~ Timed Battle enabled
~ Avoid scouting (scouting on purpose will result in a disqualification from the tournament)
~ No illegal movesets (such as Pursuit & Selfdestruct Snorlax)
~ Any Pokemon defined as "Uber" by Smogon is banned from the tournament (yes, this means Garchomp!)
~ Please PM logs to me after completing your battles to clear up any conflicts should they arise

If you have any queries, please forward them to myself.

The deadline for this round is October 31, 7:00PM (GMT +8).

Lots of great new battlers here.

Stellar v GotengoXGodzilla - Honestly, don't know the other guy and Stell is solid
ceramic v Wolfclaw - Played a few games with you
Goldfan v Random person - Fan because I don't know the other guy :\
Son of Thunder v Taxiev - Solid player
Nachos v Acaso - Saw yours games from ST I think
Elevator Music v Shur.tugal - Shout out to my LC buddiesssss
Matt_Lane v TheFourthChaser - iunno
genestaahhh v Thorns
91ale v newbioform - Play you last tournament, think you got what it takes to go all the way
Thebattler1 v Colonel M - CM gots it
Silvaer v fortunecookie - iunno
MCXD v Valantaro - iunno
Xenon v LL Kratos LL - iunno
Da Letter El v RB Golbat - mmm toughie. L might be the dark horse in the tourney
bladejtr v Gandalay4 -iunno
StarmanXL v Rampardos101 - seen you on the forums more ;|

I'd put my money on Stellar, newbioform, RB Golbat, SoT or Nachos. Any of those are potential winners imo
 
Stellar v GotengoXGodzilla - I'm not familiar who Gotengo is but I know for a fact Stellar is a solid battler.
ceramic v Wolfclaw- No idea who you two are.....
Goldfan v Random person - I've faced Goldfan before he's not too shabby.
Son of Thunder v Taxie - SoT is from what I've gathered a solid player so going with the "safe" choice.
Nachos v Acaso - You seem familiar like I've faced you before....
Elevator Music v Shur.tugal - matty chose him and seeing as I have no idea who these two are I'll just copy matty.
Matt_Lane v TheFourthChaser - While I haven't actually battled either of you going with Matt_Lane as I recognize the name from my lurking in the Wifi forum.
genestaahhh v Thorns - Guy with Tentacruel avatar iirc either way I would have voted for you irregardless as you're under my most recent tutor.
91ale v newbioform - I distinctly remember MS telling me about you.
Thebattler1 v Colonel M - Master of Rotoms should have no problems.
Silvaer v fortunecookie - Great Sage is a great tutor enough said.
MCXD v Valantaro - Obligatory vote as being a former MS graduateas well.
Xenon v LL Kratos LL - I recognize the name if you're as good at battling as catching small errors on the Pokemon analysis you should do fine.
Da Letter El v RB Golbat - RB Golbat is decent.
bladejtr v Gandalay4 - Havak apprentice but more than that I recognize your name I think I've faced you before.
StarmanXL v Rampardos101 - I recognize the name (RMT forum I think).

@matty: I love your avatar so retro.

Rooting for newbioform and MCXD, they are both former apprentices and I believe that both (especially bio since he's been playing slightly longer and was really close to beating matty last time) have a wonderful chance of going really far in this, because they are great learners and all round smart battlers. Gl to you both, don't let me down :), i havent had an apprentice win yet so hopefully one of you will be the first ^_^ (MCXD vs newbioform final?).

EDIT: Actually Xenon was a former apprentice as well, just from much much earlier :). Heh looks like I'll be rooting for all 3 of you :). Although if u guys don't make it for whatever reason, I hope that SoT makes it through, as I have built many teams with him and he may be using one :D. SoT/Xenon/MCXD/newbioform semis GO :P
