I have to totally disagree with this whole post. If I am #1 and I go in to play #2, that is what I am going to do. And I have my choice of partners as does #2. It doesn't matter that there is someone in the lobby when we go in.

: I feel this needs to posted in the Public Forum for all to understand.
: It is common for players to have their favorite partners, but we have to remember, there are other players on the Ladder, and all members have the same right to play.
: I have noticed myself, and others have noticed, It is not a written rule, but we must adhere to the FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED unwritten rule.
: If a player has been in the playing lounge, for a period of time, you should not come in, create a table and start a game with your favorite players or attempt to get an UP game without giving those waiting a chance to play first.
: If it is your desire to play an UP Game, then use the Official Challenge procedure to make the game a priority.
: With the rules in place, if you are observed not allowing all a fair chance to play, you may be in violation of the Nice Guy Rule and action will be taken against your Ladder Record.
: thanks for you support and giving all the same opportunity to play a match.
