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

      • Select Confirm Event when you are ready.

      • 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.

        How to View and Manage Club Standings

        How to View Standings In-Game

        • After you complete a stage, you will be presented with the Leaderboard, showing you the current standings up to that point.

        • The Leaderboard shows all relevant information about each driver, such as the car, the platform they are playing on, their total time and the gap to the leader, and more.

        • You can also select Options on any player to inspect their Rally Passport, showing that player’s key stats across the game.

        • Within the Options menu you are also able to automatically scroll to the top of the Leaderboard, or to your own position. This is useful when you’re checking the standings of larger Clubs.

        • You can also check the Event Overview to see your progress so far, along with the list of upcoming stages. You can view the Leaderboard from here also.

        • The Leaderboard and Event Overview are also accessible back in the main Clubs menu for each Club you are competing in.

        How to View Standings on Racenet

        • On Racenet, head to the Clubs page for EA SPORTS WRC and find the Club you’re checking standings for.

        • If there is a Club Championship in progress, you will be able to see the standings for each individual stage, as well as the overall Championship standings.

        • You can also review the results of previously completed Championships.

        • If you select the flag icon on the right, you can see the overall standings for an event. This is the combined time across all stages.

        • Underneath the flag, the dropdown menu lets you filter results based on the platform people are playing on, or display the cross-platform Leaderboard.

        • When you select a player on a stage’s Leaderboard, you can view more detailed information about their performance, such as the sector times and what assists they are using.

        • You will also see a 3D representation of their performance, allowing you to inspect their racing lines and approach to each corner. This is a simplified version of the Analysis tools used to display Time Trial data.

        • If you have set a time on the same stage in the Club, your performance will be compared with your chosen opponent. This is a great way to see where you are gaining or losing time, and where you can improve in the future.

        How to Export Standings on Racenet

        • Underneath the stage and event Leaderboards, and the Championship standings, you will see an Export button.

        • This button allows you to export a .csv file of your chosen Leaderboard.

        • These .csv files can be used to share your results outside of Racenet, such as on your community’s website or in your Discord server.

        • Exporting a .csv for an individual stage’s Leaderboard provides the following data: Rank, Player Name, Vehicle, Time, Penalties, Gap to Leader, Platform

        • Exporting a .csv for an individual event’s Leaderboard provides the following data: Rank, Player Name, Vehicle, Time, Gap to leader, Platform, Points

        • Exporting a .csv for a Championship Leaderboard provides the following data: Player Name, Rank, Points, Time

        • Please note that some data may not be visible on .csv files due to various players’ privacy settings.
