Team Partnerships

Players register stable partnerships explicitly or the system suggests them when two or three names recur on the same team. Each partnership becomes a tracked entity with its own ID, profile page, and statistics. The combined partnership ELO is calculated from match results — wins move it up faster than the sum of individual changes when the pair beat a higher-rated combination, and vice versa, so chemistry is reflected in the rating.

Partnership win/loss record aggregates every official and casual match the trio or pair played together, broken down by format, opponent strength, and surface. Partnership history shows the chronological match list with results and venues. Chemistry score compares each member's win rate inside the partnership against their win rate apart, surfacing pairs that perform clearly above their individual sum (true partners) and pairs that drag each other down.

The "find a partner" matcher accepts criteria — ELO range, geographic distance, availability windows (matches my Saturday afternoon slot), playing style preference (I shoot, looking for a pointer), language — and returns ranked candidates from the wider player base, respecting privacy settings. Public partnership profile pages render the combined record, recent matches, ELO trend, and notable wins for fans following the pair. Partnerships factor into Records & Milestones (longest-running partnership, most-titled pair) and Head-to-Head & Comparison (partnership-vs-partnership lookups).
