Your timezone and usual hours of availability: EST. 5-9 or 10 PM EST on weekdays and pretty much the whole day on weekends.
What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU or XY LC (in order of priority)
Tell us a little about yourself: I live in Canada, and I love mythology (mainly Graeco-Roman, but all I find most myths interesting). I've been playing OU somewhat competitively for maybe half a year on and off, but never really got too good at it. I really want to get better at OU, especially teambuilding but, of course, battling as well for sure. Last round my tutor and I had some timezone issues, but I completely understand that the staff can't get everyone good timezone. I also have no clue about anything in LC. :)
Are you able to use either IRC or Skype?: I can use both.
Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Of course.

What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I like to play on PS! a lot because of the great community and battling in OU. I like to swim competitively, hence why I don't have an easy schedule Monday-Thursday. I am eager to learn more about OU then I already know, which isn't a lot. I am 13, which doesn't seem like that much of a mature age, but I like to be mature while having fun at the same time. Whenever I'm bored or I just don't feel like going on PS!, I do some Java coding.
Are you able to use IRC or Skype?: I am able to use skype, my Skype: LangurMC and I can use IRC whenever needed.
Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Yeah Buddy!

What tier do you want to learn?: XY Ubers
Tell us a little about yourself: I live in germany and are currently still a student with the age of 18. I became interested in Smogon at the beginning of XY, and started playing OU. I tried to improve by watching youtube videos of smogonites and read RMTs and did my best to enhance my grasp on the game. Lately i became very interestet in the XY Ubers Tier, since it contained many interesting Pokemon and I like the idea of a tier where the strongest of Pokemon are used. That would presumably be it, thanks for reading.
