Okay, I have run a few tables where all or most PC were Pregens. And the hunt for info from new players on the sheets is not the best way to get players involved. The way I propose to fix this is changing up the format of the Pregen sheets. Knowing this might not be something that Paizo has time for I thought we as a community could work on it.
First we use something that resembles a normal character sheet. This will help them(& other helpful) find the info they need. And will get them oriented to the sheets they will be using for their own Characters.
Next I would say having the glossary section formatted in a way to make it easier to find and read would help.
Lastly I think having separate from the Crunchy bits of the sheets would mean more space for crunchy info. Putting the art on it's own page means more room for the art to stand out.
We could put these on PFSprep so everyone can have access.
What do you think? Is this something worth while, or not?

I did this way back for the APG Pregens before the official ones were released. I was told they had to be clearly labeled as not being Paizo material, and that they couldn't be presented as Paizo material. That's hard to do at Society events, where you're pretty much presenting nothing but Paizo material.
Explaining the difference to new players would likely be equally as confusing as showing them the current layouts, so I'd say it'd be best to keep the current, official, layouts.
Plus, it's how statblocks are written up in virtually every publication. I think it would defeat the purpose of lessening confusion.
