So I have recently finished running an adventure path(skull & shackles) for my pathfinder group and a couple of the players have expressed interest in receiving the credit as if playing pre-generated characters. I wish to accommodate them but have a few questions.
1) Is it fine to register everything after the campaign is complete?
2) If so, there are players at the table without society IDs and are uninterested in registering. Does it look weird to only have 2 people at the table?
3)Once I fill in the player ID there is then a dash for character number but if they are getting credit as pre-generated for playing the entire adventure path, what do I imput?
If you have any questions of me feel free to ask.

1. Yes, that is fine.
2. This is also fine.
You may want to print out the temporary cards that are available on your event organizer page when you set up the event. You can give these out to all of your players along with chronicle sheets, and log the event with all of those temporary ID numbers. That way, if the uninterested players later change their minds, there is nothing more you need to do.
3. The -# will be the character number they are applying the credit toward. If they are new, then this will be -1. If they are not new, they have the opportunity to apply the credit to whichever character they want.

Jadd,
I just have another item you would want to look at in the giving your players credit to PFS characters for Skull and Shackles. If you just finished the sixth book, you may want to check to see when you started and compare it to when the Adventure Path was sanctioned. If you started before it was sanctioned, you are only allowed to grant PFS credit starting when it was sanctioned and cannot award credit retroactively. The Adventure Path was sanctioned as of June 24, 2013 and, if you started the campaign after that date, there is nothing to worry about in the giving of chronicles for PFS characters for all six books. Hope this helps.

So, if I may branch off this thread:
What if the GM is involved in PFS and none of the players are? Can the GM alone get credit for just running it? (And yes, I'm aware this opens things to all kinds of abuse). But it is of honest interest to me, as I'm running Carrion Crown for a home game of non-PFS folks.

2 is most certainly NOT Fine because you need a minimum of three registered players to report a table.
The first thing I tell ALL newbies is that their night's homework is to download and READ the Campaign Guide and Additional Resources documents. The bulk of the answers you need are there.
2 is fine, you would need three players to run a PFS table. PFS sanctioned modules or APs in campaign mode do not have any requirements, other than maintenance of the storyline, not even that it be run using the Pathfinder Role-Playing Game rules.
And, just as an FYI, there are several PFS events where a GM alone may be all that is reported:
Overseer GM for any of the multi-table Specials
GMing Silverhex Chronicles
GMing the Beginner Box Bash, IIRC. I think it also covers any of the Beginner Box PFS-sanctioned intro pieces.

No player wanted a PFS #. I wanted a chronicle. GM and no players reported. 100% legit.
I have seen the future, and it is We Be Goblins! 20,111? ;)
