Doesnt seem like we can add new RPGA members...

Aug 14, 2008 9:39:55 With this new interface it doesnt seem like we can add new RPGA members anymore by adding the new member and attaching their name to it. It no longer asks for a name, it just says there was a problem with the number and to contact the DCI/RPGA. Can anyone else confirm this or am I just doing something wrong?

Aug 14, 2008 9:43:34 I haven't tried this yet, but have you converted the number on the new RPGA card to a nine-digit DCI number?

E.g. my RPGA number is 9536692, but the system will not recognise that at all any more - I need to put in 109536692 (basically if there are fewer than nine digits in the number, put a '1' on the front, and fill the number out to nine digits by putting '0's between the 1 and the first digit in the RPGA number).

Aug 14, 2008 9:51:50 Hmm, just tried it, and I can't get it to work either.

That's not very useful!

Does anyone with more DCI experience know how the system works for first-time DCI players?

One hopes that HQ at GenCon itself have a more direct way of accessing the database ... and that it's fixed by GenCon UK, PAX, etc!
