There is no standard here (where we work for assignors, not associations), but I always contact my partner if I know who it is.

Yes there is been some problems with the reminders. But why would anyone really need them? Don't you already know you have games on certain days? For me the reminders only give information about the site, otherwise they are mostly annoying.

It's nice to know if and when a partner has been removed from a game and you need to contact a new partner. With as many changes as we've had for weather around here, stuff is always changing. My partner on Tuesday (For a game that was ultimately canceled) was taken off the game and I had no idea because the emails aren't being sent. I contacted the Arbiter's support people several weeks ago and they said it was about to be fixed, but nothing has to this point.
