A store championship and a regional championship are completely different however than a Massing of Sullust.

A store championship has a title with it, a trophy, a bye to a regi9nal event, etc (I don't know how I feel about the bye though. . . )

A Massing of Sullust event just allows you to boost your collection of models.

So the question I have is the store championship, to me that implies it is set up for the normal players of that store. As in you are the best player from that store. Like I have said earlier I do not think that you have to live local to the store if you play there on a regular basis, but if I traveled to Idaho and played in a game there and took the store championship am I really the store champion seeing as I am not likely to ever be there again? (As I do not live even close to Idaho).

Yes, you won the event that determines that stores Store Champion, this you are that stores Store Champion.

FFG does not structure these events, nor allow them to be structed, in an exclusive manner.

So taking it to the next level, as I get a bye card for wining, what if I was good enough to get several of them so I do not have to play the first three or four rounds. It just does not sound right to me. It may be fully in compliance with the rules but sounds wrong. Mostly academic to me as I do not plan to play in anything more than store right now, as I do not have the time or money to do so.

As it is, BYEs are only good for the first round. The only thing you're doing by getting multiple BYE cards is restricting how many people overall will be having BYEs...

During our last Store Championship season for X-Wing, one of our locals won another Bye in another Store Championship (there were 4 of them in our area). He won again, but when the time came to hand out the prize, he handed the Bye down to second place because he already had one and couldn't benefit from a second Bye card.

You can not get multiple BYES currently. If the player that wins a SC has already obtained a BYE in another event. The BYE is passed down to the next ranked player without a BYE.

I might suggest that you look into how the event season works as you have some really incorrect ideas about it.

Any BYE you win is only ever for the first round of that event.
