Thanks for all the info, guys! Looking fowrard to playing in more of these events

For a bit of background, I have been playing PF with friends for the past few years but I have never played in anything "official". This year at GC 50, I decided to try out the organized play and did Assault on Absalom. Took me a bit to figure out what the tiers meant but got myself tickets to one of the 1-2 lvl sessions.

I built my character per the .pdf I downloaded here on the Paizo site. I used the CORE rule set for creation as it seemed like the easiest to start with. Anyways, I made my dude and got into the game.

Game was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed myself but was left with some questions after the dust settled.

1. I got 2 wooden tokens near the end of the game. What do I use these things for?
2. Will the game I played at GenCon show up on my Pathfinder Society page under Sessions? I was assigned a PFS number at GC and used that to activate my account here.
3. I was given a sheet at the very end and was told to select 2 options and cross out the rest. Does this get recorded anywhere?
4. I was told that if I got the Pathfinder Character Portfolio, that I would gain a reroll in-game. Does this get recorded anywhere or is it like once per game/event with the DM and just tracked at the table?

Thanks in advance!

So this was my first time ever participating in a Pathfinder Society event (gamestore or convention) and joined the Assault on Absalom (not sure I spelled that right). I rolled up with a buddy of mine who I play regularly with in a home PF campaign, and my brother and nephew who had never played an RPG in their lives. We had spent the night before making 1st level characters per the PFS rules packet but still felt a little overwhelmed and under-prepared.

We were sat with a pretty experiences guy and lady (I believe they were a couple but could be mistaken), both of whom were super helpful and really fun to play with. Our DM was this guy with a big red beard who was also absolutely awesome. The experience was probably one of my GC highlights.

My only complaint, which is really quite minor, is that it was a little frustrating when your table would be fighting a scenario boss when an announcement would pop up saying that the particular boss had just been officially defeated so we didn't get to finish the fight.

oh, and it was a bit chilly but I would prefer it to be a little cold than stifling hot.
