Comment(by karsten):

 Here's how you search for this bridge using Onionoo:

 https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?search=DarkSideOfAvalon01

 So, the pool_assignments field is solely based on what BridgeDB reports
 for this bridge in its pool assignments.  Here are the entries for this
 bridge from today:

 {{{

 }}}

 Note that the bridge wasn't contained in pool assignments after 03:30 UTC,
 which is quite a few hours in the past.  Apparently, the bridge isn't
 running right now.

 Here's how a pool assignments line would look like for an obfs2 and obfs3
 bridge:

 {{{
 06cca6d1c73e99a17d571d5d0854ffa09414eef2 email ip=4 flag=stable port=443
 transport=obfs3,obfs2
 }}}

 So, I'd say look at BridgeDB logs to see if something's wrong there.
