I'm sure there's probably been a few threads like this before, but I'm after some advice.
I've been running PFS campaigns for a while, however I'm tempted to run a few PFS scenarios now, but need a little help as I'm new to GMing a pfs scenario.
1. Under the number of days should I just put down the single day it starts (as listing out all the day, with the usually PFS speed, would be roughly a month or less) or count out ever day.
2. This is more general PFS knowledge. After hosting a game, how you do you, as the GM, add the cert to your character? Is it the same as usual or do you need a special kind of chronicle sheet? Also what are the restrictions? Can you only apply 1-2 to a 1-2 level character or can it be any level, but scaled correctly to you? I'll be mostly doing low levels to get a few of my low level pfs characters up.
3. I'm confused on the mention of "Sessions". Would is be a single session if I run a single group for a scenario? I'm assuming that would be just 1 slot and 1 session (or more if I need to list multiple days.)
Thanks for any feedback. I'd really appreciate the help :D
1. You mean in creating the event? If you want, just list the start day. I've completely ignored this part in my reporting so far.
2. When you report, you have to enter your GM PFS#. If you add an extension (-1 for your first character, etc) your GM credit gets assigned to that character. You can apply a chronicle 'as if you had played a pregen', which means that either (1) your character must be of equal or lower level than the scenario, (2) your character must be level 1 (and you get 500 gp from the chronicle)
3. A session is a single scenario. If you intend to run a single game, that is 1 slot, 1 session. If you set up a convention with five gms running two game each, that would be 2 (time)slots and 10 sessions. A PbP game would be 1 timeslot, 1 session each. Don't worry too much about getting this right, though.
I basically use a single event for most of my PbP games, and report sessions as I go along.
1) I create the session after I have finished the scenario and as the date I use the day the scenario was concluded
2) Indeed the same way as usual
The main restrictions is that you have to apply the subtier that your character is in. If you play a tier 1-5 at subtier 4-5 but your character is lvl 2 you apply the subtier 1-2 to your character.
3) As Kludde said. I also have one event for my PbP games and add sessions to that each time a game finishes.
Thanks for the feed back guys, that's all been really helpful.
On the GM PFS#, will it be the same as my normal PFS#, minus the character number? Or will I be given a GM PFS# when I make my first event?

Assuming this is about the stuff at the bottom of each chronicle:
Your GM PFS# is indeed your normal PFS#, without a character number
Ahh, yes exactly. I assumed it was, but I don't want to mess things up for myself or anyone else on the PFS end. I may start sometime next week or the week after.
