If a member chooses to make a team and place the password for that team in the team name that is saying they would like anyone to join them.

At 10 minutes prior to start time we ask the TD's to announce that teams without a partner should go auto or risk being dropped when the tour is started.

A tour is held open only until auto is even as we do NOT ever close a tour with auto uneven!!!

NO new teams should be made after 10 minutes prior unless that member has a specific partner that will be joining them.

This is all in an attempt to start the tour as close to start time as possible.

So please keep in mind that if a team is made and there is no partner....it's very possible that team will be dropped when the tour is started.

Thanks for reading!

: I know td's should try to get p's for those who have listed a team without a partner, BUT, if they directly ask someone to p, they put that person in the position of partnering someone they don't want, or offending that person. Think it better to just clearly state a p is needed, listing pw, and letting members decide for themselves. AND, I note that td's often are careful about their own partners... thus let us be as well.
