A couple reasons:
1) most of the submissions won't even be on the top 100
2) A few players actually did their trial offline, so that it wouldn't register.
3) The Division 1-2 cut will likely come somewhere in the top 100, or just outside of it. Even with this, people outside of the top 50 or so won't know for sure where they sit.

those of us who are slow pokes don't know how many non-GTPers are between us and our ranking. My goal is second to last division, although I suspect that I may be in the last division. I think that placement in the division is probably more important than the actual division. If you are last you might get disillusioned from losing all the time. At the top there might not be as many other drivers to learn from. Middle might be ideal. Of course maybe the divisions will be narrow enough that everyone within the division will be competitive.
Just an idea for Sphinx. The rules state that the top ten from each division will need to submit their replay. I'm wondering if the bottom ten might be more important because those are the people you might consider dropping down a division. Looking at the top ten would be important if you were thinking of bumping them up a division. Maybe looking at those close to a division cutoff would be better (say bottom five and top five). Just a thought. Great work.

I stated at the beginning of the qualifier that I expect to lose a 3rd of all our current members. With 30 odd minutes to go, we're not far off that estimation.
The number of divisions is sill undecided.
The purpose of the replay requests for the top 10 in all divisions is for verification of the lap times submitted. This doesn't mean we expect cheating to take place, it's just a method we've used in the past to uphold the integrity of the official events. 👍

Ime not bothered what division Ime in. I must have been one of the 1st people to submit my time and as long as it's competive in that division ille be more than happy . To me enjoyment is way ahead of winning.
Not long to go now and a Final Thank you to you Sphinx for organising this and I could bet that this has took up alot of your spare time that could easily have been spent anywhere else but you were here for the GTP community.

Well, I took out my NART Blu F430 onto Suzuka less than an hour ago and submitted my times in before the deadline. It may not be a high ranked submission, but it's better than nothing.
You cut that fine.
I've stormed through the submissions tonight and they have now all been processed except for a number of today's submissions that didn't meet the requirements. I'll deal with them later.
New membership numbers to be around 360

I know I was the most recent member to make a 5 divisions comment, so I will take the blame for that. But I just did that because if you go here https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=105367&page=2 it lists five division spaces. Obviously that isn't enough for everyone.
Anyway, by saying I would be in the fifth division I was just referencing the last division, not actually claiming there would only be five.
I hope I didn't confuse anyone else.

Anyways, thanks guys for the CLEAR UP especially you too Sphinx. I'll just have to wait for the next meeting; even though I've submitted my voided time already. To be honest, I much rather have a GTP_ tag than any other tag for a numerous of reason; which is too long to be stated. But anyways, I'll be racing without the GTP_ tag because I so call "pissed someone off" (i don't blame for the amount of load that is going on). Congrats to all that has made their division. 👍👍👍👍👍

Seeing that you're unhappy, I'll remove you from the GTP_Registry so you won't have to be unhappy any longer.
Bye.
Read back to your orginal post of what you said about Sphinx.
So i've read back on my post and what EXACTLY did i say about Sphinx huh?? You make it sound as if I had cursed him. I had never said anything about him except questioned so why don't you pms off. We already have enough people going through that time of the month already as you can see. \\\i hope that post was not to suck up on him so you can qualify. Bye.

I don't think its cool to be posting PERSONAL messages, unless permission is given from the other parties concerned.

Doh, I went to submit mine but then saw it was closed...It should have been Sept 14th by region, I really had not thought about the time zone diff.
You've been given so much time to submit your lap time (Aug 09 2008), so please don't use time zones as an excuse for your failure to send me your submission in time.

Wow! Is it that time already? (I hadn't been paying attention) Can't wait to find out how high a number Sphinx has to come up with to place me in a division
Well he said there were 360 submits, so I'm guessing I'll be around 300. I did my time with the controller though, so maybe when we start competing I'll move up a bit.

Same case here. I ordered a G25 a few days ago and it arrived before the deadline, but I couldn't enjoy the driving with it since I was more out of the track that in, so I did the registry with my controller but I hope to one day will be able to drive with the wheel and improve times. In fact if fustrated me, I stopped to play the game because I didn't realize how I could be so bad with the wheel, jesus.

Same with me at the moment
im slowly learning to use my DFGT more i have ago with it once a day just for practice but when it came to submitting my time i had to use the Pad, I couldnt put the hammer down enough using the wheel with the Ferrari. Lets hope for the next one the car to be used with be the GTR i feel very confident using my DFGT with that i feel better with it than the Pad.- 56
