However, one forgot to write his down on the tracking sheet and another claimed that his is an old 7-digit number, which I have read in other forums needs a "10" put in front of it to make it right. I tried that and it doesn't work. I get an error message telling me it's invalid. Anyway, I need to get this event reported and I haven't heard from either of the players whose numbers I don't have yet. Can I go ahead and report the other four players and add the last two later or do I have to wait for the other two numbers and risk being delinquent? I have read that being delinquent is "no big deal", but I prefer to be on time! =) Thanks.

Yes, the one player's 7-digit number *should* be able to be be "updated" by adding "10" to the front of it.  If that's giving you an error, you may want to suggest that he contact Customer Service to see if they need to do anything with his account.  Offhand, the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't be working is if he had an old RPGA number which he'd never actually used...my understanding is that old, "unactivated" RPGA cards (with less than 10-11 digits) won't work at all, even if you add those digits to them.
