Hey All,
A big thank you in advance for the help. I was just seeking some clarification on how to report some SFS games I plan to play online using Roll20 with some friends.
Should I create an event for each game we play or just one event and report each scenario under this single event as we progress through SFS season?
When reporting a scenario, once I fill all the information in, do I need to do anything other than just save and exit?
Is there somewhere that I need to close the event so that it is complete and my players can see their information and scenarios they played?
Last but not least, these games will most likely only be played with RL friends and all the same people throughout the SFS season. Is there any reasoning behind reporting the scenarios/games played other than my players being able to see what games they played?
Thanks again in advanced!

It's your choice, but it would probably be easiest to make an event "onesacker15's SFS Games" (or whatever you want to call it.) I have an event I've tracked online games, one at a specific location, etc.
When reporting a scenario, once I fill all the information in, do I need to do anything other than just save and exit?If you fill in all the information (Date, Scenario, GM Info, Player info, scenario questions), you can save and exit
Is there somewhere that I need to close the event so that it is complete and my players can see their information and scenarios they played?
It should be viewable after you save / exit. You do not need to close an event to have the info viewable by the player.

Ultimately, if you are only playing a home game it isn't required. However, there are a few benefits to reporting the games:
1. Reporting the games will allow you / your players to participate in the Organized Play with those characters at a later time if you decided to.2. Similar to the above, you as a GM would be recieving credit for games run towards GM Novas for future Organized Play
3. The reported games will give campaign leadership metrics on games play and help justify additional resources being used to publishing more SFS material
Let me know if you have further questions I can help with.

What I ultimately did is created events for online and offline games. Everything I run online Paizo related (PFS & SFS) gets slammed into the Online events. My offline event contains my local "home" game (games I run with my regular weekly game group) as well as the rare local event I might run at a store or the like.
Online (and offline) conventions are usually handled by the con-staff/Paizo rep at the con, so typically no worries there.
I usually just save and exit, but you need to make sure all the info is there. Sometimes it seems to reset info if you do not do it in order (i.e. it removes the "STAR" part of the game system used...that sort of thing). It can also time out fairly quickly, so don't live it sit too long.

They really need to fix that timing out quickly stuff gets annoying
