THEY MAY BE USED IN TEAM GAMES ONLY!!!    If you want to use your team's Pal, then you ask for a pal. The credit for the win or loss will go to you and your team. The loser will report the loss to you and your team's Pal.

Because you are responsible if the pal misplays or misbids or otherwise does not know how to play, this is what we advise: First, send a private message to a teamie if no one can play then find a pal that you have met and feel you can trust. Calling in the lobby for a pal is not recommended as your first choice. If you cannot find someone you know, then advertise in the lobby.

Anyone can be a pal in a GTA game. Pal's do not have to be a member of GTA league. However, you can insist they are, if you  choose. If after a pal sits, you find they do not know how to play the game, you may ask to get another pal. If you do, be sure to thank the player for their time and offering to be your pal.

When the table opens, make sure   the pal is is identified quickly on the table chat. If your pal does not identify themself you can type, "(player's nic) is pal." or say, "Thank-you, (player's nic) for being my pal."
