GenCon 2011 Games / GM

[Plotty Fingers]

Have not run PFS at GenCon since 2008.
Who does one contact about being an alternate GM?
or
list of which Pathfinder Events are the PFS. the GenCon search descriptions are not very telling.

thanks,

If you wish to judge an event at Gen Con you should currently contact [e-mail].

In regards to the events at Gen Con that can be considered "Pathfinder Society Organized Play" events, you are correct, it is not terribly easy to differentiate the Paizo games from the non-Paizo games. The best I can suggest is to look for blocks of games that start with a "#", "Pathfinder Society Classic" or "First Steps". That should help you.

When you search, use the keyword "paizo", and it will list only the Paizo events.

Those limits are fixed. You need to have a level 7 pregen or level 7 character to sit down at that table.

so for a 5-6 level, only option is the Pathfinder Society Classic option? well, i have generics, but always a crapshoot.

If I were you, I'd play as many games as possible at Scotty's on Wednesday, and then sneak into a PFS game on Thursday morning (there are bound to be no shows). Then you can basically play the rest of the convention at the 7+ level, where there are plenty of spots still open.
