If you have a player sit down at a con, retail or home game, and they are new to RPGA just filling out there RPGA membership card at the begining of game play, what happens when you try to report that event online?

The RPGA event reporting page will tell you it's a bad RPGA#, so does this mean you can no longer show up at a con, register at the table and play a game the same day? Do you have to have an RPGA# in the system before you can play a sanctioned game?

You use the number on the card to report and the players first and last name. When their registration is complete the usual player history will be available to them.

And how exactly do you do that? The program will not accept a number that is not entered yet. It just gives you the error message saying something like--There was a problem with the membership number you entered

Sounds like you might have old <9 digit RPGA memberships.

Unfortunately, as a result of the DCI/RPGA merger, those numbers are no longer valid and should be discarded.

You can request a new stack of cards from [email]dci@wizards.com[/email]
