Single post in Events are underway!

I never did any events on PF1 so i'm a little confused but I'm sure I will figure it out... Just to clarify, the event hasn't started yet so any clicks right now is banking my points? And then once the events starts the clicks go toward my total for event. Also if I don't use my banked points on this event can I save them up for next event? Thank you and sorry if my questions are stupid...^^;
