There doesn't seem to be a huge problem here - yes, you did scout, but by all accounts it doesn't seem to be "on purpose", so according to the rules, I'm going to let you stay.
I'm still rootin 4 OLIE (even with the "controversy")! WHOOOO!
Well, I'm just glad I get to stay in.
It would fucking suck if I got kicked out at this point, but yeah I wasn't even really watching the match, some dude kept posting in German and we all kept telling him to fuck off.
So Thanks BK, GEC and Puggy for being understanding.
Oh, you too Da letter El :) for cheering me on
Edit: sorry for saying fuck so many times

Do you want to play in the tournament: Yes
Experience level: I'm pretty experienced, but after taking a bit of a break due to life issues, it seems I have lost touch with a bit of my prediction and team making skills. I don't seem to be as in touch with the current metagame as I would like to be. It would be nice if I could have someone who could get me back into the loop.
A little about myself: Senior in High School, eagerly awaiting college. I'm interested in engineering. I like making friends online and I'm just generally a nice person.
Maniac, Husk, or Iggy would be cool. :)

Experience level*:A little about myself: I've been battling competitively in D/P since July 2007. Since then I would say I have been successful since I have reached the leaderboard on shoddy a few times. I have a few nitpicks which I really need help with, relating especially with Team building. I really need to learn comprehensively about team building.
*Sorry if it's an issue for me to continuously sign up but Taylor quit, so I didn't get a tutor last round. If it's possible, may I request someone like Maniac/ipl/Husk? the american time zone issue isn't a problem for me. I PMed them last round anyways if I could have them and they were fine.*
Edit 2- I just asked ipl on shoddy and he says he ok with tutoring me.

Do you want to play in the tournament: Indeed I do, and I am determined to do better this time
Experience level: Shoddy rating right now is 1370 or something like that, but that is part of the problem, I don't know why this current team is doing ok, as compared to my previous lower ratings. I am OK with my theorymon, but I want to be able to compete at a higher level. So In short, I am not a random nub, but nowhere neat as goos as i want to be.
A little about myself: Not as big a geek as I could be I guess, the only RPG i play is pokemon but I play it waaaay to much. I also play cricket and occasionally golf in my spare time. Not much else to say, A-Level Maths and Physics Studant...
Requesting anyone but Havak, much as I love Havak I had him last time and I am interested on getting someone elses input into my game this time :D I don't nessecarily want to feel restricted to my timezone either. My timetable i reasonably flexible, I can make some time here and there. I'm not a great fan of requesting, but I don't want to be pushed to the "back of the queue" for not requesting. So please assign me who you think is best for me.

I’m new with competitive battling so I need some help. As you can see, my English is pretty good although it is not my native language.

A little about myself: A solid gamer for 11 years now, ready and willing to partake in OU battling. Generally I play platformers and RPGs, not really into FPSs and things all that much. I'm also a amateur programmer with some knowledge of things like C++ and a part time music composer (although my old stuff is really terrible). Also I'm Australian, but you probably gathered that already.
School holidays starts this week for me, so I've got 2 weeks of free time.
I don't really mind who I get, I don't know any of the tutors well at all anyway to have a preference. Also timezone matching isn't much of an issue because I have a broad active time, so don't bother yourself with that too much either.
