Well Wilie, there is a lot to this. on one hand you could stick solo and get a "taste of everyone", or you could "partner" up with one person. i am currently considering doing this also, and i was told by some other officials that you do recieve more games, but you don't get to wk w/ others to observe their style and skills. and also, you must be very sure that you won't kill this person on long car rides to tourneys, or vise versa, because i hear that you are quite difficult to put up w/.
but. when i think about this matter, my biggest concern is already have gotton asked b4, and i don't want to hurt the person but you have to do what YOU want to do. you have to look out for yourself and if this is what you want, go for it. you also have to consider the level of games that you will recieve w/ this person, are you willing to make this sacrifice and lastly, do you like this person, i was told that that is the biggest thing. Talk and consider it and then make a decision
-Keep your eye on the prize and good luck
