    Read the tutor guidelines before submitting an application.

    To submit an application, use the following format:
    Server names: Aliases you often use on the server.
    Tiers you wish to teach: Tiers you feel comfortable teaching.
    About me: A some information about you and why you think you are a good choice as a tutor, and why you want to be one. Good things to list would be ladder peaks, tournament victories (preferable forum tournaments), and other accomplishments. However, feel free to list other "real life" things that might make you more suitable for the position.
    References: A minimum of three members in good standing within the community who can vouch for both your attitude and battling prowess.
    Timezone: In GMT.

    If your application is accepted, I'll edit it saying so. If it's rejected, I will do the same.

    It is recommended that you apply as soon as possible if you are thinking about being a tutor. This allows tutees to see what tiers are available when tutee applications go up in 1 week.

    Deadline is August 25th

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS LC, RBY OU, Inverted Battle
    About me: I've been playing LC and RBY since at least early to mid 2012 (BW2 LC at the time), and I have peaked on the LC and RBY ladders multiple times; however, those ladders have seen their share of inactivity. I was the tutor for Inverted Battle last round as well as the Inverted gym leader for the PO League last season. I believe that I definitely have enough experience in these tiers to properly introduce them to players who have never played them or haven't played very much. I also have IRL tutoring experience.

    Tiers you wish to teach: RBY OU
    About me:
    Got a pretty free-looking summer ahead, should be able to spend some time teaching mons hopefully. Started playing RBY OU during last year's POWC to help teammates test, and picked up the meta and got invovled with the community on the PO server, rby2k10, and pokemon perfect. Solid if unexceptional ~3-3 record in POWC this year (group A was the harder bracket too imo). Have peaked #2 on ladder behind marco, currently sitting at #7 (decay's probably a bit of a factor), although laddering is not a huge focal point of my time (nor has it been since really the introduction of gen 6). Oh I also beat the RBY gym 2-0 (facing vs During Summer)

    Timezone: GMT+1? Wherever UK's at atm.
    I don't know if you need to re-apply every round or if you just post in the thread that you are going to continute tutoring in this round.

    Tiers you wish to teach: monotype,oras lu
    About me: ive been playing mono for as long as ive been in PO, peaked the ladder a long time ago, won a few hundred server tours (890 seeds atm), as well as the cute little medal below my name which i got by winning the last forum tour. If i ever tried helping anyone with anything, it was mono because i always tried to increase the mono playerbase since it's mostly what's keeping me here as well as it being my favorite. As for lu it's my best/fav main tier and I have quite a bit of knowledge and experience in it
    References: i'm definitely better than @Carlmurray . but i guess/hope most current mono players can vouch for me (maybe sulcata rad celebi carl if i had to name a few although cant confirm n_n ) for lu I guess cp and aurist.

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS Ubers/OU/NU/Monotype
    About me: Well, I like to fill myself with knowledge, so knowledge on common cores, speed tier, threats, and overall diversity of viability of metagames is my specialty. These 4 are the ones I happen to know most of. For this current gen. I could teach XY UU/NU and BW2 UU/NU if people really wanted to learn them as those were tiers I also learned quite well. I finished well in both forum Monotype tours, I'm a Side Metas TL, played UU in UUPL and went even, helped with the viability rankings in Ubers, currently in finals of the forum NU tour. Nothing relevant for OU cause in the middle of POCL atm.
    References: Carlmurry, gengar17, most of Tours, probs DracoNinja, if you're really stressing this I can go find out more :\

    C/P'd

    You should totally pick me over the scrubs @Carlmurray and @gengar17 for Monotype.

    About me: These two are my favourite tiers. Im the current the topseed in both, was the topseed in nu, climbed the ubers ladder, the 3v3 ladder and the random battle ladder too before 3v3 singles existed. And I was already tutor in round 14 for ubers - but got 2 inactive tuttees :(

    Tiers you wish to teach: Balanced Hackmons/Hackmons, Monotype
    About me: I think I'd be able to teach players about the plethora of strategies + teambuilding of the tiers listed above. I have made various peaks within the 10-20's range of the tiers listed, and #2 in BH ( i also got the gym badge from TOL). I was third place in the Top down knock down forum mono tour. I have won a lot of scripted tours for these also. I am an actual tutor in real life, so I guess that makes me qualified to be able to teach.

    Tier: ORAS Ubers, ORAS LC
    About me: The two tiers I really know my way around (playstyles, threats, common problems) and feel like I could teach new players about. Never really tutored before but showed some people who asked me around ubers and some friends around LC~ dunno if you still need anyone.
    References: The Tournaments channel regulars, I guess Carl Murray, gengar17, Casparov and Icey (jiten) might vouch for me concerning these tiers

    About me: Tutored on PO for a long time (this has to be my 8th or 9th round) before and taught people like NananaBatman and Noname4505 whose success I will take credit for despite not being responsible for, peaked OU, UU, and NU ladders in the past, won various forum tournaments including POCL and OGT, badged user on PO and Smogon, positive official tournament record on PO and Smogon, lead OU on here and led NU back during BW2, previously rated teams, led QC, and partook in various other communal projects, and feel the need to tryhard in my 'about me' section to look good on a silly pokemon forum!
    References: Radookan, the guy who misspelt zoroark in his username, the guy who misspelt metagross in his username, MEEPS, etc...

    Only will be able to handle 1 or 2 tutees this round and I think this will be my last round tutoring, unfortunately, but might as well go out with a boom!_! So LGI

    Also fuck this system, I know I'm Approved
