Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yo sorry for the late reply, I'm not sure when I'd be available exactly so if there are any times that work for you let me know and I'll try to be available. I am GMT -5 and would prefer sometime after 3pm if that would work for you.
Saturday works for me. If there are any other times you'd prefer to play beforehand just let me know and I'll see if they will work, since Saturday is cutting it a bit close.
