For sanctioned modules and Adventure Paths, GMs are allowed to use their own rules for character creation and running the presented content (the entire book or series).
GMs running the module are not bound to the rules of the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign (such as 20-point buy, unavailability of hero points, etc.) when running the campaign or the sanctioned portion of the adventure.
When running sanctioned modules and APs in Campaign Mode, are we still bound by the rules for legal table size?
I ask because I'm thinking of running some of this content in a non-traditional setting where it may be difficult to accommodate a GM and three or more players, but I'd still like to get credit for GMing and I assume my players would like credit, as well. I may be able to seat three players and they could employ a pre-gen to fulfill the legal table size requirements, but would we be able to forgo that pre-gen and still get credit? What if I could seat only two players? Could each player run two characters?And if one were to assume that, yes, all of these options are possible, I'd have to extrapolate them out further to their absurd end and ask...
Could a GM run this sanctioned content in Campaign Mode as a solo adventure for himself and still get credit?
The requirements for table legality are the same no matter what the venue.. minimum of 3 plus table buddy, max of 7.
If you want the table to be legal for reportage you have to abide by the same limits no matter what you're running. whether it's AP, module, or Scenario.
The answer to your question is an unmitigated NO.

You can indeed run Campaign Mode for as few as zero or as many as you want. You can use Chainmail, Shadowrun, or ventriloquist dummies.
When it comes time for reporting, just print out a handful of new PFS numbers and submit them. You never know if your players may change their mind and want credit years down the road.
The answer to your question is an unmitigated NO.Contrary to what the sanctioning document states, GMs are still bound by at least some of the campaign's rules then?
They are bound by all of them. Sanctioned parts of AP's are treated by all of the rules and regulations binding PFS Scenario play.

Apologies. I should have been clearer. I'm not running just the sanctioned content; I'm running the entire sanctioned AP/module in Campaign Mode. In that way, I'm not bound by any of the campaign's rules, but can still report my tables and give Chronicles to my players.

You are correct, GM Easy-Earl.
