Chain of Command
NTSC Championship Series Creator/Owner/Operator
- Earth
Director of Competition
- Chadwicksracing
1-A - The race administrator reserves the right to create or alter any rule or hand down any punishment at any given moment for any given incident
1-B - Maximum entries per series - 12

2. Points System & Championships
2-A - There are 3 possible championships in each of the NTSC Championship's 3 series
Driving Championship - To the driver who scores the most points over the course of the season
Team Championship - To the team that scores the most points over the course of the season. There may be no more then 3 drivers per team in each series. There may be no more then 6 teams per series. Drivers on teams must run the same cars and car colors. Car colors for each round are claimed on a first come first serve basis. First team to state which car color the team will use for that round gets first pick. Teams must use cars differing in color from other teams for each round unless the color choice is limited to less then the number of teams in a series.
Tuner/Garage Championship - To the Garage or individual tuner that scores the most points over the course of the season. Drivers are free to change Garages from race to race. You are also free to make minor alterations to a Garage's tune to fit your driving style better. However, if you alter the tune to where it shares little traits with the original you can not use that particular Garage's name in your results form.
2-B - Driver, Garage, and team points are paid out the same. Longer (10 laps) races pay out double points.

2-D - Past Champion Provisional - A past champion of a certain series who finishes deep in the points can decide whether or not he wants to stay in the same series or drop down. He can only do this once.
2-E - At the end of each season the top 3 drivers in points from Clubman Cup move up into OrangeR cup and the top 3 drivers in points from the Sports Car Cup will move up into Clubman Cup. The bottom 3 drivers in points from the OrangeR Cup will move down to Clubman Cup, the bottom 3 drivers in points from Clubman Cup will move down into the Sports Car Cup. The number of drivers moving from series to series may alter. For example if a certain series has alot of inactive drivers most likely it will drop more then 3 and the feeder series will give more then 3 to it.
This may affect teams. For example 2 drivers on a team may finish in the top 9, but the third team member may finish outside of the transfer spots and may be demoted a series. At the end of each season the team must decide whether to recruit a new driver from another series who has moved up or to move down a series to stay with the demoted teammate.
2-F - Drivers must complete at least 50% of the championship races in order to be recognized as Champion
2-G - Drivers completing less then 50% of the races on the schedule may be demoted a series no matter their point total.
2-H - A series must have at least 5 drivers signed up for it in order for it to open up.
3. Racing Etiquette
3-A - Wrecklessly barging into another driver causing him to lose time or crash can be reported and will be penalized.
3-B - Blocking - You are allowed to make one blocking move from one side of the track all the way to the other, but you are not allowed to change your line again. The block must be executed early enough so the following driver has time to react
3-C - Passing - Use common sense when passing or being passed. All incidents will be dealt with according to each case involved.
3-D - OLR Rules - At Fuji try and keep at least 2 tires on the rumble strips at all times. Abusing the runoff areas can be reported and penalized. Wall Surfing at HSR is an absolute no no
3-E - Probation - Drivers who have poor racing etiquette, or jump starts or any other offense may be put on probation. If the driver repeats the same offense while on probation then he might suffer loss of points or banishment from a round(s) or season or in rare cases lifetime.
4. Online Racing with GT5P
4-A - If you are put into a different race by yourself while attempting to connect with the others or have some sort of connection issues that keep you from connecting or any other freak accident you will be given 3 consolation points for each of these occurrences.
4-B - If you are put into a different race with at least 1 other GTP member points will be given out normally.
4-C - If a race is for some reason disconnected, available points depending on the size of the grid will be distributed evenly among the competitors.
4-D - Uninvited drivers, sometimes hacks, may be in the way of the racing. Try to avoid them. If they wreck you, try to think of it as you getting a blown tire or something. This series features delayed starts, so hopefully this won't be a problem.
4-E - Starting positions are determined by pp. Registered drivers will receive a pm each week detailing information about pp levels per race for each driver/team. Rows will be determined by teams.
4-F - If the race finishes because of the timer before you cross the finish line, your position in relation to other GTP members when the race ended is final.
4-G - Using the wrong pp for a race will result in half points. If you win with the wrong pp the win will be taken away and given to the 2nd place driver, but the points earned by the 2nd place driver remain the same. Drivers racing with the wrong pp may be put on probation after an initial verbal warning.
