How to Create a Club Championship

Creating a New Championship

• From the main menu, head to Clubs. This shows you all of the Clubs you are a member of, and any active championships you can take part in.

• You can have up to 16 events in a single championship.

How to adjust Championship Settings and start a Club Championship

• On the championship overview screen, select the tiles on the right to change settings that affect all events in the championship.
  
  
• Championship Name - Choose a name for your championship
  
  
• Scoring Method - Flexible: This scoring system adjusts awarded points based on how many people take part in a Club. This is best suited to larger clubs.
  
  
• Scoring Method - WRC: This scoring system scores players in the same way as a real-world WRC event. Points are awarded to the top 10 drivers. This is best suited to smaller clubs.
  
  
• Bonus Points - Power Stage: This setting allows players to earn bonus points during the Power Stage, the final stage of the event. The fastest time set during the Power Stage earns the most points. This option is only available when using the WRC Scoring Method.
  
  
• Bonus Points - Stage Wins: This setting allows players to earn additional points by winning individual stages. This option is only available when using the WRC Scoring Method.
  
  
• Hardcore Damage: Enabling this increases the severity of damage from impacts, and makes terminal damage far more likely to occur. Enable this to make the championship tougher for all drivers.
  
  
• Track Degradation: This setting affects how degraded the road surface will be for all players. A higher setting will be more challenging to drive on. Light is the closest match to Time Trial conditions, for those looking to practice ahead of their Club run.
  
  
• In the Additional Settings menu there are two more options.
  
  
• Assists: You can choose to let players use assists or ban them entirely.

• Hours Until Start: This setting adjusts how long (in hours and minutes) you need to wait before the championship begins. This increases in 15 minute increments.
  
  
• Combine both settings to find a suitable time for you and your community start rallying. Set both to zero to start immediately.
  
  
• Once you select Confirm, your Club Championship is complete.
  
  
• If you selected a time in the future for a Club Championship to start on, a countdown will appear. Otherwise you and your Members can start driving right now.
