All participants have to have copies of everyone involved's fingerprint; it's just easier to funnel them to a central person, who then makes enough printouts for all participants to look at. If you have 10 participants, and everyone brings enough copies of thier fingerprint for everyone else, everybody ends up with 10 pages per person. As opposed to 1 or 2, if done centrally. Altho you're right - it's not a requirement, I don't think. Also, not everyone comes with printouts of their fingerprint; I leave mine in my Palm.
