"If an character accumulates greater than his (Current Skill - Category
Bonus) number of experience checks, he immediately gains a bonus of 1d10
in the skill and loses all experience checks, whatever he's doing, even
if in the middle of an adventure"
>>Gotcha,. I misunderstood.  I took the above to mean that they could
potentially receive as many experience checks as their current skill
percentage ie as many as 90+.  I'm not familiar with the check system,.
we still use the basic dot next to a skill to roll for advancement; our
only addition is that if you roll an 01 critical you get a "double dot"
which means automatic advancement next time they can go up.

Not a bookkeeping issue at all. The players merely pencil in a checkmark
next to the skill name. And they definitely don't use every skill every
session. Only one or two combat skills are used often and other skills
are used only when I call for rolls as the GM. 

Also, skill improvement rolls occur only when the characters can get to
a place safe enough to relax..a relatively rare event until just
recently. And keep in mind they erase the checkmarks either at each
improvement roll or then the # of checkmarks reaches 10. 

How hard is it to make a little checkmark no more than 10 times (at
best)?

the character sheet (even just the commonly used ones)?
