I'm willing to be your partner MKC.  But I guess that is up to you to decide.  I'm still new so, you make the decision.  I don't want to ruin your chances of winning.  I won't take it offensively if you decide not to.  
Also, I'm not 100% sure of going yet, but I don't see why I wouldn't be able to (maybe finances).  So perhaps you should practice with a few people incase someone cancels
