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.
Keep your eye out on the Battling 101 forum (http://www.smogon.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42). Sign-ups were recently posted, but you missed them it seems. Another round will be up within 3 weeks if you're willing to wait. You can then sign-up and get a tutor!
