Long story short:

This is a test, read the first page of the form for specifics

Coaches: High gold (III-I) and up Students: Low Plat (V-IV) and below

Go here
Fill out form
Tell me what I am missing or what I should take out. As well any other constructive feedback. (i.e. dominion and TT fans can tell me proper terminology for roles)

Short story long:

There's been plenty of attempts at a coaching service in League, some more successful than others. What I'm trying here is a simple jab at it that I hope to be able to make into a regular Board event (monthly maybe?) and maybe see where to go from there.

In its current form (aha...ha....ok I'm done) this is a simple google form outputting to a spreadsheet that I'll manually sort through (because I'm a programming nub) and lacks:

Account/Rank verification
Automated matching
Independent server/hosting
Many other smaller things, like a good background

If I get enough responses I'll take a crack at matching you with someone if you are curious on who you'd end up with. But keep in mind this is a test. I wanted to see how many people are interested in this sort of thing as well things like coach/student ratio, redundant metrics, feasibility, making sure the form is waterproofed, etc etc. Right now my main priority is making sure I'm asking the right questions and getting a working (albeit basic as hell) system out and running for everyone to use.

If anyone would like to help me out in a more active sense, please e-mail me at '[email protected]'. Keep in mind I'm a poor college student so no money is to be had >_<.

There isn't an option for never being ranked (as I am)

Yeah. Ideally I would hook it up (automatically) with another score metric like op.gg or lolking so I could get an accurate idea of the skill level of the person without needing their rank. But I'm a programming nub and I don't have the means to do that just yet.

Unfortunately since in-game rank is the only way I can verify someone's skill I can't give unranked options right now, since I'm, for the lack of a better word, 'calibrating' this whole thing. See where people land you know?

Now I'm not saying you should lie per say, but if you could do your best to estimate where you are skill wise and answer with that, that'll still help me.

tl;dr Intentionally not there, but will be in a later incarnation. Do your best to guess where you should be.

It also doesn't have an option for someone (a student, I should say) to look for someone to coach his/her team.
