Not Liam but from what I know about AL it (before the season 8 changes) tended to be a lot looser in terms of rules.

* XP worked the same as the table top book.
* Equal rewards between hard back campaigns and scenarios.
* Rewards system acted like traditional RPG (you got stuff not have to buy stuff).
* No reporting besides filling out the sheet at the table, and even then it was just a mark of "I've played it".
* GMs are allowed to tweak the scenarios combat encounters.

I'll also add the scenarios are shorter and designed to run in 4 hrs.

Now a number of the ideas above are changing with Season 8. They are moving to a milestone
system (similar to pfs/sfs xp but not exactly). They are moving towards gold being awarded by the system not the scenario, and gaining treasure points to obtain magic items.

Their has been a LOT of wailing and gnashing of teeth on these changes, so we will see how it goes.
