Something I forgot:

WHEN YOUR PUPIL FINISHES A REFFING COURSE (101 OR 202) SEND ME A PM AND STATE IF THEY PASSED OR NOT SO I CAN UPDATE OP

Also,

1) I will be taking over Ref Course until akela returns to a better activity level.
2) During the period above I will be able to tutor Refs. But won't be white-listed for self-reffing. Consider it a necessity exception, as we need some reffing 202 to end to have tutors so we don't have queues, so I suppose this is the only way. If you have any complaints then oh well.
3) Dogfish44 is now a full-fledged ref tutor. go you.
4) I will take Zekrom2525 and Its_A_Random under tutoring. Zekrom2525 I expect you to PM me ASAP with links to some previous reffings of yours so we can do stuff. Iar, I will PM team soon. Gotta pick a good shenaningans team.
5) Gym Program is nice :(. You should totally do it before you make stupid decisions on a gym.

Ask and you will receive!

Program: Gym
Gym you intend to challenge: Electric
Difficulties you are facing: Um, where do I begin? The fact that I suck at doubles, or the fact that I've challenged this gym no less than 2-3 times and have had my butt munched each and every time? For this particular gym team building is also a slight issue, as Ground and Normal spam aren't very good.
Timezone: U.S. Central Time (GMT -5 I believe)
Why do you want to be tutored: To be honest, a good part of the reason I want to be tutored for this gym specifically is because...I stink at doubles. Singles, as is evidenced in some of my Normal gym battles, I am decent enough with (so long as I don't forget Endure). But doubles? I have literally no ideas for strategy that isn't "Shoot that guy till it dies. Oh wait I got a double Rock Slide flinch/my guy died/something else went horribly wrong! Welp, I'm hosed." I would like a tutor with extensive experience in multiple formats for this reason.
Any extra comments about yourself: Normal Gym Leader here, wanting to l2p...man my skills really have gotten rusty haven't they?

I would like to say that the Gym program was awesome for me. I learned a lot from Leethoof and had a lot of fun too. Akela was busy with his job, or we could have had a really close battle.

So now that I have learned something about Doubles Gyms, I would like to learn about Singles Gyms. Which has always been a difficult part for me.

Gym you intend to challenge: Fighting
Difficulties you are facing: Team Building & Preparing for the separate bouts.
Timezone: GMT +5:30

Why do you want to be tutored: The fighting gym is unique in that it doesn't have a switching mechanic and the type of pokemon shouldn't be repeated. I find that very challenging, and would like to discuss about team building and pokemon selection.

Any extra comments about yourself: The last tutoring session I had with Leethoof was mind blowing. I learned a lot of stuff that I didn't know before, or overlook them (I am still learning from him ^_^). I guess my personality makes me tend towards gimmick more often than necessary from a serious battle's perspective, I almost constantly fight my urge to try something arbitrary -.-'

Next time you disappear like that you'd wish you died after what I will do to you

except if you had health-related issues to attend to, in that case you can ignore the horrible joke above

Taking both Gale Wing Srock and SubwayJ . PM me with what you have planned so far and we will go from there.
 
Program: Gym

Gym you intend to challenge: Ground.

Difficulties you are facing: Screw the Nidos.

Timezone: GMT -7:00

Why do you want to be tutored: Screw the Nidos.
Oh, if I actually have to write something here, ground gym has so much fire power and coverage and support, I really dunno what can survive there and hit hard enough to win a damage race and whatnot.

Any extra comments about yourself: Screw the- uh I mean... I have no problems with buying and training any mon that is needed, even if I would prefer to use any of the ones I already have if possible. I like bulky offense (gogogo Gambo) and trickery (kit says hi): glass cannons aren't really my type of Pokémon, even if I do use them every once in a while. And... uh, dunno what else I should write here, really.

Course: Reffing 202
Timezone: GMT -4 (American East Coast)
Reffing Experience (if any): I was a battle hall ref, pike ref, and regular asb player back in the good ole' days before my life went to shit and I had to leave. Also I will (with some degree of pride) mention that I orchestrated and reffed the Ultimate Showdown (OKAY UNTIL its untimely end and yes it was never completed, but who here can say they reffed 5 rounds of a 30 man free for all? While it failed to be completed, I put a lot of brainpower and ref power into that thing, while it lasted.)
Why do you want to be tutored: I'm trying to get back into ASB, and I want to shake off all the rust I've accumulated. Also, self reffing. Who doesn't want to be able to self ref?
Any extra comments about yourself: I like Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. Not really into yoga. Been told I have half a brain.

ill take Glacier Knight , I am going to be throwing as many curve balls as i can at you, so be ready to do research on move interaction. Also asking if i am ready for the next ice age is banned and will result in automatic failure.

Also upon reveiwing my Fighting Gym strategy, I feel it might be a bit too gimmicky. If anyone would like to take a gander at this with me and help me iron out the details I would appreciate it.
