Most TD pilots always have a team. Ever notice how many guys always have the same timers/callers. That's because you've worked together and know what the other guy wants and needs. Nothing is more distracting than having your timer argue with you that you should be counting down on landing approach if you happened to like actual flight times.
Contest flying is a team sport. I never had much success at contests except when I had a regular partner. Anyone can time but only a partner I fly with regularly can really communicate. A partner knows what information I need, how I like the countdown, and when to shut up.
It is difficult to have a team when flying Man-on-Man unless your partner is not entered in the contest. That's one of the reasons I don't like Man-on-Man.
