Once you've done all you say above, you wait until we've processed your submission and then you can begin participating in the weekly events.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but in the Qualifier Post itself you're saying:

Once you have submitted your qualification time you are then free to begin participating in any current GTP race event regardless of whether you know your division yet or not.

So which one is it? Do I have to wait for my qualification to be processed or can I send a time for tonight's event, although I've just send the qualification this morning?

I don't want to do anything wrong and get DQ before I even start, but I'm eager to begin... ;-)

Fetchbot won't accept your submission if you're not registered so you won't be able to be DQ'ed. You are able to post your splits for this week to compare how you are doing against fellow GTP'ers.

Thanks poolhas. For the time being though, let me just compare my times offline with the rest of the crowd - it's definitely less embarrassing... ;-)

Sorry, I need to set aside some time to make some updates to the first post. We've changed how we process them, and as poolhaas mentioned, even if you submit, your time will not be accepted if you are not listed in the registry.

No problem, thanks for the update...

Gives me more time to redo old week's challenges and guess which division I'll be put in - so many things to worry about: are people usually better in the Qualifier, because they've already driven it often enough, or do they not bother to work on their time because of it...? Is the Bronze/Silver/Gold reward in the qualifier a bad thing, because people stop as soon as they reach a milestone, or does it make it more competitive because they have something to guide them...? I'm looking forward to answering these questions for myself once I'm in...

In general, the qualifier is sufficiently difficult, so we have not seen much "over-qualifying". If anything, we've seen a little bit of the opposite, where people outperform their division out of the gate. But even that has been limited.

I think the Milestones (Gold, Silver, Bronze Class) help people to understand that their improvement is being recognized, and gives them smaller goals to shoot for. In general, division promotions are a major achievement, and a track record needs to be established before we make them.

Vaxen is away right now, but will inquire with him on his return.

Out of interest, do you know when Vaxen gets back? It's been 2 weeks since my submission (Granted, I did submit it the day after the last batch was processed

). I'm away for a couple of days myself, but I should be able to check in from time to time, i'm hopeful that i'll be ranked by the end of the week so I can compete in WRS 26. Though the week 26 combo looks a little too challenging for me, so it's not that urgent :P Maybe intime for WRS 27

I was thinking of qualifying for the WRS. I see everyone has the prefix GTP_ in front of their name. Is that something you get when you register for the WRS?

599GT · Aug 19 2011, 11:04 PM #2052

You'll have to make a new PSN with GTP_ tag in order to register.

I don't think you'll have to nor should rerun the qualifier, but you will have to create a new PSN account with the proper GTP_ and request an admin to adjust/apply your qualifier manually... at least I think they'll do that for you.

Hopefullly you didn't make too much progress with that PSN ID in GT5 because you'll probably have to start that from scratch... but getting up to level 17 is about 30 minutes work with current seasonals so not too bad just to get to the level where you can run most cars used in the WRS (and stash just a little cash to buy them).

Someone else may know another way around your predicament, but at least you shouldn't have to redo quali.

lop1391 · Aug 31 2011, 9:35 PM #2056

can i submit a qualifier result anytime, or do i have to wait for a certain period where they will be accepted. also, if i read the guide right, i have to make an additional PSN id? fella13 that i have cant be used. i have to make a second one just for this? GTP_fella13?

hm post above answered the second half of my post.

Carlos Fandango · Aug 31 2011, 9:45 PM #2057

You can qualify anytime - and yes, you need the GTP_fella13 account

I submitted my registry qualifier July 25th. I still haven't gotten a reply/notification. Should I be worried?
