Reservation Rules
When you post your thread, please use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:
Work in Progress: The skeleton is incomplete and is not ready for the QC Team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being reassigned. Do not be lazy.
Quality Control Ready: In the thread title, include [QC 0/3]. Include (Revamp) or (Set Name) if the analysis falls under either of those categories. The format is Name (Revamp/Set Name if applicable) [QC 0/3]. The skeleton is complete in bullet point form and now needs to seek approval by the QC Team. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have. ONLY WHEN YOU REACH TWO QC APPROVALS MAY YOU BEGIN WRITING THE ANALYSIS IN PARAGRAPH FORM, OTHERWISE THE ANALYSIS REMAINS IN BULLET POINTS. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE THIRD QC CHECK UNTIL THE ANALYSIS IS WRITTEN.
Grammar-Prose Ready: In the set title, remove [QC 3/3] and include [GP 0/2]. The three required QC approvals have been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over. When you are ready for a GP check, please post in the Grammar-Prose Queue with a link to your analysis.
After the analysis gets two GP stamps, the analysis is ready for upload.
Please update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move along the process.

Reservation Rules
- You may reserve up to three analyses at a time, as long as the writer requesting to reserve this many is deemed responsible enough by QC to handle this many at once. Quality Control members may reserve more than this limit but are still expected to complete their analyses in a timely manner.
- Additional reservations cannot be made until your current analyses are posted and in the written stage.
- Post in this thread with your analysis reservations. Pay attention to the posts in front of you in case the list is not updated.
- Do not edit your posts in this thread after an extended period of time. Double post if you wish to unreserve your Pokemon or select another one instead.
- If a Pokemon is not on the reservation list and you strongly believe it deserves a CAP analysis, post in this thread with a thorough explanation as to why and the Quality Control team will address it.

Reservation List
After reserving a Pokemon, you must post your analysis in a timely fashion. Your analysis thread must be up in 72 hours (3 days) or your reservation will be dropped. If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, please notify an active member of the QC team. Pokemon analyses will be categorized under the following headings:
- Unreserved: The Pokemon has yet to be claimed.
- Reserved: The Pokemon is claimed by someone.
- In Progress: The Pokemon's analysis has been posted and is going through the process.
- Completed: The Pokemon's analysis is complete and is awaiting upload.
- Highest: The Pokemon is a CAP and must have a high quality analysis before USUM comes out. If you are an experienced writer, we'll request that you reserve at least one of these. Due to the importance of these Pokemon, if you're inexperienced, we may reject you for these.
- High: The Pokemon is ranked highly in the CAP Viability Rankings (A+ and up), and are the highest priority to be written next to the CAPs. Due to the importance of these Pokemon, we may reject inexperienced writers for these.
- Middle: The Pokemon is relevant in the metagame (A- and A), but not as important to finish as the above ranked Pokemon. If you're an inexperienced writer, we encourage you to pick up one of these Pokemon.
- Low: The Pokemon is relevant, but not nearly as important to have an analysis for as the above three categories. As a result of the time crunch we're on due to CAP updates and the upcoming USUM games, we'll be actively rejecting requests to reserve these Pokemon until the majority of the other categorized Pokemon have been reserved or completed. If you're dead set on doing one of these, contact a QC member and give us a reasonable explanation why you should write the analysis, and we may allow it.
