The best partners I've had a chance to work with; some international-level officials, generally had the following attributes:
1. Communication Skills
2. A feel for how to apply the rules
3. Quiet but firm confidence (although occasionally loud)
With one partner in particular, everybody - players, coaches, table personnel, fans - love to see him walk in the gym for their game.
