[GenCon] "(more) Road Construction News!" (Scouting and Info Within)

[Mark]

I am hoping that the people who have had difficulties will transpose or copy those problems here along with any solutions they have found. Thanks!

Am I the only one who's having troubles? Is it too much to ask for them to stop playing with their website, and make it work properly? Or am I just being dense?

Try opening the initial link in another browser window - that worked for me. I managed to get the Excel file to down load, but the formatting was so bad it was unuseable.

Missing Events?

I just completed my pre-registrations and I'm unable to find some events. I should be running two Oathbound sessions on 7/26 and 7/27 from 8 AM-noon, but I can't find them in the schedule. All the other Outhbound events seem to be listed. Could someone else confirm this for me? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong with my searches.

I'm not seeing them Sniktch, have you tried searching by title? They might have changed the times on you. Either way, get in touche with GC staff ASAP.

Our gaming group has noticed 2 seperate errors in our event listings (Both our fault). Our contact person emailed them and within a day of each email about a problem that particular problem was fixed. As far as I'm concearned they are making a good effort at getting things right. As CaptainCalico said just email them and let them know what is going on.

It appears that GENCON staff has not completed logging all events. Each day, I have downloaded to work on my selection only to find NEW events added to the list!

try this

I found these instructions, should be a faster way to check you events than doing searches:

Game Masters and Event Organizers!
To Review and Approve Your Gen Con Indy Event Submissions:

1. Log on to registration.gencon.com.

2. Once you are logged in, click on 'View your Games' under the Game Master header.

3. The screen will then show you a 'short version' overview listing.

If you would like to see the entire event data, click on the view icon under the option column on the left side. This view should show you every field you entered data into on your event submission form.

If there are any issues, email us at events@gencon.com. Please be patient form responses, we are at Gen Con Europe 2003.
May 1st is the locked-in date for changes!

Someone tell me if you can, are all the connected hotels going to be dealers only, or dealers and 'patrons of the Con' only? Or do you think there will be regular visitors there. We are first timers and are wondering about the late night playing and social events going on in the hotels and hotel rooms! Also, are any other dealers bringing their children? We are bringing our 1 and 2 year olds (and a sitter of course). It might be cool to have a kid play time for dealers and maybe event goers, too. Paladinwife

Works fine for me now, thanks. I'm starting to get excited!

(I emailed you this morning, fyi.)

Having got back from GenConUK just now, I seriously hope that the organisation is ten times better for you guys, otherwise it's going to be a nightmare.

Full report going up tomorrow, and I'll come back to this thread to talk about Con problems and check a few things.
