So, I read the "Taking one for the team" section of the guide. It seems the intent of this section is for party balance or expediency, but it also appears that you can use it to introduce someone to the organized play. For example, I have 2 class decks now, so I could make one of them a pregen deck for a game that would allow someone to join in and possibly want to get their own class deck afterwards, and they would be able to use the pregen rewards they get and apply it to a new character when they play an adventure that has an adventure deck number equal or greater than the scenario they played.
Is this against the intent of the rule or is this expected to happen? Or do I have how this works completely wrong to begin with?

No, that is the intent and how it works.
I have a question on this ...
I've re-read this section just to make sure Yiroep got it right. But originally when I read this, I thought it meant only for new characters. Using a pre-gen then applying the reward to a different new character. But am I missing something ... can you show up at a session with a party that is combat-light. You decide not to play your sorcerer but pick a pre-gen Valeros for that scenario. You guys win and you can then apply the credit to your sorcerer?

Yup. It has it's quirks (avoiding playing a scenario where a certain character build might just be borderline screwed), but it's a good way to make sure that you can make up for any holes in the party. With people being able to play their character in multiple parties, the last thing you want is 4 people coming to play and all saying "My character is Wu Shen..."
Not sure if this is the place to ask this, and I'm still looking at the Messageboards with search "multiple." This mainly regards solo organized PACG Guild play.
This is the example:
Alchemist Damiel # 1004 successfully completes Scenario # 2-1D. There are no interesting cards to upgrade his deck with, so for "Taking Reward?", he says "No."
Later on, Sorceress Seoni # 1011 attempts Scenario # 2-1D. She tries with different companions, Lem, Tarlin, Wu Shen, etc. But each attempt ends in defeat. Finally, she decides to use Alchemist Damiel # 1004, who happens to be souped up (Skills, Powers, and Cards List upgrades). Together, they successful complete Scenario # 2-1D.
1. Would, in this instance, using Damiel # 1004 be acceptable, so long as he didn't receive any deck upgrade and Reward?
2. Should Damiel # 1004 never be an unreported companion/helper/mercenary with Seoni # 1011?
3a. If it is acceptable to use Damiel # 1004 and the Reward was desirable, could he "Take Reward"?
3b. If Seoni # 1011 decides to "Take Reward," can, in this instance, Damiel # 1004 "Take Reward" if he previously had not done so?
Sorry for being so technical about it, but I've sort of done some solo playthroughs in different ways based on my understanding or misunderstanding of the rules. Each of my Characters are registered for my ease of use, however some are in play (Damiel) while others are now merely helpers (Lem, Tarlin, Wu Shen, etc.).
Locals in my area said they are not as restrictive as I was afraid, but my Guild lead and I discussed that while cheating in organized PACG Guild is possible, overall it strongly diminishes entertainment value. Basically: "So you can cheat, but why play the game?"
Comments, questions, and concerns are all appreciated!
I strongly recommend you create new threads for your questions instead of reviving old threads. (You could reference the old thread in your post if you think it's relevant.) The new and old threads rarely match closely enough to justify the comingling.
Thank you for the tip, elcoderdude. I was afraid of causing clutter and then someone referring me back to an older post. :(
