Penalty System & Stewards

By signing up you agree to adhere to all of the rules shown on this thread and on any links included on the thread.
Stewards are M_A_B_96 and (TBA - apply within). Please PM the stewards via GTPlanet and/or PSN regarding incidents. Please do not publicly reveal incidents with other driver(s) who may not be involved. The stewards will only review what is reported to them, but they can review incidents they have seen that have not been reported.

If a steward is involved in an incident, they must not be included in the outcome decision-making.

You will be given a certain amount of time to appeal a penalty to a steward. Appeals must be made over PM on GTplanet.

You will receive a warning if the stewards feel your driving was not up to standard but was not severe enough to earn a penalty.

You will receive a reprimand, in many ways. One - after two warnings are received in one race. Two - if your driving is considered to be malicious or unfair for others. Three - if you use chat during a race.

You will be banned for one race meeting if you manage to acquire 3 reprimands over the season.

You will then be banned for a whole season if you manage to aquire 6 reprimands over the season.

You can be kicked from the series if you yet earn another reprimand after being banned for a whole season (7 reprimands). Because, after 6 reprimands you should have learned to behave fairly on and off-track by then, and I will not put up with these kind of people.
