Can you tell them? Will it affect the "partnership"?

I've never been in an association that uses partners, but these are just a few of the drawbacks I've heard about.

good luck with your decision

My most regular partner (approx. 1/2 my games in the last 6 years, or so) and I have some quality windshield time going to the games, and we always pregame for higher levels to just help get our heads a little more into the game. Whoever is to be R that night runs the pre-game.
