I'm still waiting on a session from GenCon, which I've pretty much given up on, but I was just a player.

GenCon, and other huge events, are always problematic. The sheer number of reporting sheets changing hands almost guarantees there will be issues including but not limited to:

-"lost" reports
-illegible writing (in my experience this is the leading cause)
-incorrect PFS#
-"fat" finger data entering
-failure to record the scenario name when using the generic reporting sheet

It seems over the holidays that half of the sessions for U-Con were reported. I usually wait until the 1 month mark before pinging anyone. I pinged the summer organizer, which is why I'm 99% sure it will never be reported.

I'm going to help with reporting at a local convention we're having in Feb. "Many hands make light work".

If an entire convention isn't being reported, that's a problem.

IIRC, it means the con can lose access to future prize and boon support, unless that has changed.

In addition to having some awesome volunteer helping with reporting, and making things go faster, I think I'm planning on taking quick digital images of the reporting sheets as they come in, apparently I've taken to my IT mentors philosophy of redundancy, or as he would say, you use a belt and suspenders to keep up your pants.

Thanks for reminding me I need to get one of those small receipt scanners to backup the paper copies!

I was thinking camera phones are usually good enough.
