Partnerships

Looking for a partner? I encourage you to use the Unit web based partnership desk, which can be accessed by clicking on The Partnership Desk! above.

This is a very simple web site where you register, fill out some basic info about yourself, then log in and submit a partnership request for the game for which you would like a partner.

Briefly, this is how it works (this assumes you have logged in):

  • To request a partner for a particular game, click on Create request above and follow instructions.
  • Once your request has been submitted, you can find others who have requested partners for that same event by clicking on Check requests above and following instructions.
  • If you find a partner, or if you decide you no longer need a partner, you should update the status of your request by clicking on Update requests above. This will keep your name from showing up when others are looking for partners. If you don't find a partner, you should also update your request to reflect that status. .

You are in charge of finding your own partner. This site just makes it easier to find others who are looking; it does not automatically pair anybody.

The more people use it, the more useful it will be. Check it out! It really works!
