Experience / Complexity

One thing that we get a lot of questions about is that letter and number attached to each event description.  Those are a code for how much experience is desired by the GM and how complicated the game is to play.

Experience:

1 (None)

No experience needed

2 (Experience Helpful)

Experience desired but not required

3 (Experience Recommended)

Prior experience with this game or similar games recommended

4 (Extensive)

Have played this specific game a few times

5 (Expert)

Have played this specific game many times

Complexity:

A (Easy)

Games involve little or no strategic thinking and have a high luck factor

B (Basic)

Games involve a little strategy and some luck

C (Detailed)

Strategic thinking needed and the effects of luck are minimized

D (Complex)

Games require significant strategic planning

E (Intricate)

Games require continuous referencing of the rulebook

U-Con normally uses the event codes as provided by the GM for each submitted event.  The event submission form defaults to A1, so anything else is definitely a deliberate choice by the GM.
