It's been fun getting into the tournaments in the last few weeks. Would have been more fun if I'd won more... but let's not start whining about that.

This is simply about one issue: is there any way that a tournament can be organised where you get to pick your partner rather facing the lottery of random allocation? Most of the time of course that's fine and fun but sometimes you get partners who you just don't mesh wish or, worse, who go AWOL or get banned or, even worse, who don't communicate. I'm sure lots of players would enjoy teaming up with someone they already have a rapport with, and that would be true of doubles and upwards.

Is this remotely possible?

I wish... I currently do not (generally speaking) join any tournaments that have a bigger "team game" than a doubles for this very reason...
