Old Project found here
The idea behind this project is to allow those interested in Team Rating a chance to get practical feedback on their rates from current Team Raters and metagame veterans. Each week, we will feature a different official tier. Anyone interested has Monday to Friday @ 11:59 PM EST (GMT-5) to submit their rate. Over the weekend, the Team Raters and metagame veterans will go over the submitted rates and give each person feedback that submitted a rate. If the judges like your rate, you will be one rate closer to the Team Rater badge. There will be a Hall of Fame, but it will not announce a winning rate or anything; however, it will keep track of precisely who got positive feedback from the judges on their rate. We will not feature a winner because this is not a competition, but rather a place for those interested in Team Rating a chance to hone their skills.
If you're an aspiring rater, these will hopefully allow you to pick up on and address your rating problems. The goal is to provide you with experience rating teams that have been specifically made to be as challenging to rate as possible, allowing you to think creatively to find the best changes for the team. Note that any metagame shifts or changes during an active round of this project will not affect it. Any rates we receive will be replied to with personalized feedback by our dedicated judges. At the end of the round, we'll give some general hints and feedback on how things went. Then, we will post some of the changes we were looking for in each rate to help future potential Team Raters.
Anyone is welcome to participate and send in their rate. Everyone will be guaranteed to receive feedback appropriate to the effort they put into their rate, regardless of their ability. However, to keep things fair, official Team Raters can not submit rates.
Since all of the tiers won't be featured each month, I will create a featured tiers schedule. During the middle of each month, I will post in this thread what the program will look like for the proceeding month. This allows each tier to plan a team and who the judges will be for that cycle. The judge's hide tag below will serve as a database as to whom may be interested or has judged for that tier in the past.
If you rate a team provided, please send the rate through a Smogon conversation to all the judges. Please do not post the rate in this thread, as we want all rates to be that Team Rater's own ideas. Anyway, without further ado, let's rate some teams!
