Andreww: the replay language is on p. 20 of the Season 7 Guide.
You cannot receive more than 1 player Chronicle and 1 GM Chronicle for the same scenario in each mode, regardless of how many times you GM or play the scenario. You are permitted to replay a scenario in order to meet the minimum legal table size (see Chapter 7), but once you have reached that limit, you do not earn any additional rewards beyond having a good time.
Ch 7: p.33
The minimum table size for a Pathfinder Society Organized Play session to be considered legal is four PCs. Table size is capped at six PCs.

The following rules determine when replaying Pathfinder Society Scenarios is legal...
...You are permitted to replay a scenario in order to meet the minimum legal table size...
... If you have already played a scenario and wish to replay to help make a table legal...
... which would lead me to believe that is the only circumstance under which one may replay a scenario (other than using GM stars, of course).
However, once you've received two chronicle sheets for any adventure (one for playing and one for GMing), the chronicle sheet you receive for the replay is only a "placeholder" (and you could have two of the same chronicle sheets on the same character in this instance, as well).
A player replaying a scenario in order for the table to reach the minimum table size should (in this instance only) be given a Chronicle for the scenario, though marked to earn 0 Gold, 0 Prestige Points, 0 Fame, 0 XP; the character does not receive Downtime in which to attempt a Day Job check, nor does his receive boons, item access, or anything else appearing on the Chronicle might provide for having played the scenario. This Chronicle only serves as a placeholder to indicate the character participated in the adventure, and it gives a place to note consumables, purchases, and conditions to be tracked from playing through the adventure. This is the only exception to not having two of the same Chronicle assigned to one character.

I recall from my V-O days helping the crew comb through the past year of forum posts, trying to find every instance of "Guide clarifications" that had been flagged/suggested/requested by everyone... it took a lot of effort, and still stuff got missed because (despite what some will tell you) V-Os and Paizo staff are human, too.
Something that sometimes helped was when someone who was passionate/interested in a certain topic took the time to write up suggested language, which served both as a reminder and a starting point for the next Guide version (which is probably already being worked on). Email it to your local VO or the Boss as a suggestion.

So the "null" sheet does not count for item access?
A player replaying a scenario in order for the table to reach the minimum table size should (in this instance only) be given a Chronicle for the scenario, though marked to earn 0 Gold, 0 Prestige Points, 0 Fame, 0 XP; the character does not receive Downtime in which to attempt a Day Job check, nor does his receive boons, item access, or anything else appearing on the Chronicle might provide for having played the scenario. This Chronicle only serves as a placeholder to indicate the character participated in the adventure, and it gives a place to note consumables, purchases, and conditions to be tracked from playing through the adventure. This is the only exception to not having two of the same Chronicle assigned to one character.
(Yes, that's a direct quote. The "nor does his receive" is an editing error in the Guide. Page 20.)

What the...?
What's going on? Why am I here?
Oh. Okay. Got it.
I think the consensus has been reached correctly: no replaying a scenario (for no credit) unless you're the fourth player at the table. And in that case you're supposed to note it by taking a chronicle that provides no credit for anything. Unless you die during the game. Then you have to deal with it like normal. This deters kamikaze runs, I think.
I get players who confuse this occasionally. More so, lately. A local venue got lax with this rule, and those players have begun to profligate the concept that joining as a fifth or sixth is "okay, so long as you don't get credit." I, too, would like the correct rule spelled out in a very prominent place, be it the Guide or a stickied post on the boards.

What if you're the third player and you throw in a pregen?
I've been that guy, just to give a couple of new players a full enough table to get a game. My PC, getting a 0/0/0 Chronicle was player 3, so a pregen could make 4 and the table legal.
Is that contrary to the rule? Or exactly what the rule is intended to allow?

Have you GM'd? You can get credit for your PC with GM credits.*Looks at James' stars*
I think he's got the GMing thing down. ;)
Yep I've got more again credits than play credits. Very few level 1-5 I can GM for credit. Plus this PC is level 5 from GM credit and I'm wanting to play before I hit level 6
;-)DOTH WANT.Dost Thou Even GM?
*debates commissioning a t-shirt run for that...
Me too
