Your Professionalism vs. your partners

That's far easier to do if you know two things.

A. Who your partner is.
B. How to reach him/her.

When I get my schedule, it contains my partner(s) name, work number, home number, and cell phone number (if they have one). I can also look in our directory if any information is missing. I try to make all of my contacts at the start of the week -- just in case someone turned back a game and I have a new partner. In rare cases, I can email my assignor and see if my partner has "confirmed" their schedule. We are to required to confirm within 24 hours.
