Try the Practice Buddy Search Engine!
The results are instantenious:

Effective.
Free.
1. How Do I Get In?
+ Show Spoiler +Register on SCV Rush and when doing so, leave this box checked: + Show Spoiler +That's it. You will display in the results with the data you filled in. If you signed up in the past, you can check your profile and find out whether you're in the engine now.
2. Won't I Spam People?
+ Show Spoiler +
Absolutely not.
All users listed in the engine have agreed to be a part of it. If you still encounter someone saying you should flip off, let us know at info@scvrush.com and we'll remove him or her from the listing.
3. Is There a BN Channel?
+ Show Spoiler +
Users are welcome to use the general chat channel "SCVRush" (without quotes) on all gateways. As the number of users grow, we will dedicate a special channel for it.
4. What If Someone BMs Me?
+ Show Spoiler +Make a screenshot and send it to info@scvrush.com. - First BM = warning

5. There Are Too Few People...
+ Show Spoiler +

We have quite a few players to begin with and with your help, we'll combat this scarcity.
6. Help! I Got Some Weird Error!
+ Show Spoiler +
Practice Buddy is still in beta testing so errors are more than possible.
If you have any problem, make sure to describe it in as much detail and possible (preferably including screenshots) and email it to jakub@scvrush.com saying "Practice Buddy Error" in the subject.
Our webmaster will get back to you within a day.

If you want to keep your thoughts private, I look forward to hearing from you at ondrej@scvrush.com.

AWESOME NICE! esports hwaiting
@Swww
It's as simple as not BMing tho 
If BM was as unforgiving as Bnet, there would be less reason to not just use Bnet...
Edit: Oh, I was thinking this might be a live kind of thing. So the only benefits of using this over the practice thread is that it might be more updated and that there's less incentive to BM.Last edit: 2012-05-06 04:51:02 |

Unforgiving?
It's a video game and it's over the Internet.
If you need to shout "WHY DID I LOSE TO THAT FUCKING RETARD?!?!?", do it - but at home, without notifying the other person.
Besides:
More GG, more skill.

I've just noticed I can't pick opponents regardless of their race. I think you should add a button "Any" or similar.
Alphabetical order of search results may be a good idea as well. It's not a big problem for me though.Last edit: 2012-05-06 05:27:30 |

| Seems like a better way to find practice partners instead of having to dig into the TL practice partner thread. Great job! The site looks extremely clean and professional. Hopefully the database will grow. |

You don't bm a practice partner... that's just retarded. I think it's fair. |

| This seems a lot more effective than sifting through the practice partner thread, I think I'll try using it. Nice job! |

Hey, Jakub from the SCV Rush team here ... I just want to let you know guys that we actually do listen to your feedback.
I've just updated the site and added the "Any" button for race selection, which means from now on you can look for practice partners of any race, such as here all bronze NA players.
If you have any more suggestions, feel free to either post them here, or just drop me an email. I'll reply as soon as possible |

When I registered, I found I was sent immediately to the bottom of the page of my section. Shouldn't it be newest to oldest to avoid outdated data rather than oldest to newest? |

You're right, it makes sense that new players should be on the top. Newly registered users are now shown on the top. |
