So I had a Terrible experience today with the Pathfinder Society. The Game Day event at Gamer Empire in San Diego was a disorganized cluster today. It was suppose to start at 11:00 AM, the Captain didn't show up until 11:05 AM, there were more players then tables reserve, and these are players that signed up ahead of time so they should they should have capped the sign ups or reserved more tables. The captain didn't attempted to marshal anyone or organize the table, that task was left up to the players. There were also not enough judges for the players that showed up. When it because clear that there were not enough judges, or tables even if there were enough judges for me to get into the event that I signed up weeks ahead of time for I left disgusted.
Yes I understand that stuff happens and that sometimes there are extra walk ins that you can't account for. But I feel comfortable saying that 95% or more of today’s crowd had signed up ahead of time so that does not excuse the lack of judges or organization at today’s event. And if this had been the only time that the Monthly game day was such as mess I would have written it off as bad day. Unfortunately every game day event I have been to at Game Empire has be this disorganized, and today’s was by far the worst experience I have had at an event.
