Alright so, sorry for not posting in a while, but we will only use the clubs in the club hub for season 1. All other clubs are not allowed into season 1. Their fault for not getting back to me. Also those who have changes to their clubs I will get to ya. Update probably this evening!
Servers are online again. Anyone need a club invite?
I'm located in NYC, club name is APEX.
DRIVECLUB GAF Cup:
Information from Update 5: "Yet another thing, and possibly the most fun thing we decided, was the "DRIVECLUB" Gaf Cup. This Cup will be structured like the FIFA World Cup in that your club will have to qualify, and that your club may play clubs that are halfway across the world. More details on this to come."
@Worthy / banana: The Inglourious GAFterds club is now officially just "GAFterds"!
UPDATE: So. The time has come. Driveclub is out and that means that the Official NeoGAF Driveclub League is about to begin. First off, I just want to confirm that those in the Club Hub as of this post are locked in to Season 1 of the League and no one else will be able to enter until Season 2. SO the next step in this league is to have try-outs ASAP. I do believe that we can start try-outs this week starting on October 14th-October 20th. Here’s some info on the try-outs.
Try-Outs: This is for some information on how and why we are going to have tryouts. 1st of all this is so we have equal skilled people in the same divisions. We are doing this by skill level, and therefore we need 2 track times. Us leaders will be discussing which 2 tracks we want time trials to be located on and we will have that to you by today. 1 will be a circuit and one will be point to point. I will PM you guys (leaders) about this as soon as this goes up. So, what I want from you is to have your best racer from each club and have him or her do as many time trials as you want to get your best possible time. Then you will post your information EXACTLY like this:
[Club Name]
[Fastest Time on the P2P Race]
[Fastest Time on the Circuit Race]
Now, what I would recommend is having your whole team go at it, and get all of our scores and pick the highest one. That is perfectly allowed and even if it wasn’t how would anybody have been able to tell. Try-Outs go live as soon as I post this so get your engines ready.

Should we also post screenshots as proof?
Still seems a little premature as not everyone is able to get on servers properly. In the whole past week I only managed to get on the server last night for about 15 minutes. And I have avoided playing SP so I can contribute my score to the club. As a result, several of us in the club are very low level and the club is as well.
I would wait at least a couple more weeks so everyone can get fully on and acclimated before having competitions.
That said, you may also want to specify a car on the tracks you pick, so it's truly equalized and not dependent on car unlocks.
I don't see the problem with this because this can all be done online. I will pick a car you must use though, so that is a very good point, thank you for bringing it up.
Car deal is done, AUDI R8 V10 Plus.
Half my club isn't active as they are waiting on the PS+ version.
Shouldn't we wait for those people too?
Question. For those in clubs participating in the events that are only getting the PS+ version, does that mean we are limited to only racing on India tracks? How does this work?
Also a very valid point.
Fixed

Thank you
Also, RHDriveclub is now named DRIVEFRIENDS
Did we ever figure out the tracks to race on?

Yo, Edge. Assuming the tryouts are starting after they fix the online situation, there is no need for this manual effort. The game is already designed to facilitate this automatically. Here's what I propose:
- One of the leaders (3 of you IIRC) should complete the P2P/Circuit in Drift/Race/Timetrial with the predetermined car, time of day, cloud cover etc
- Send that out as a 'club challenge' to all registered clubs
- Clubs are free to attempt the challenge for whatever duration/attempts you dictate. This can be set as a rule on the create challenge screen IIRC.
- The club leaderboard gets updated automatically whenever anyone from the club posts the best score/time for the club. This eliminates any manual work for the clubs to coordinate the effort, upload screenshots etc
- This also eliminates the need for you to rank clubs and determine cut offs. The game does that for you through the leaderboards
Let me know your thoughts.
oooooooh. I like this.....interesting. So you propose those that we use the challenges to do these tryouts? I do like that, a lot, but the only problem I have with that is that we are going to have to send the challenge to EVERY single club and are the challenges even up and running yet XD Trust me that is actually a good idea, but I think it would be good for those can't connect to the internet then they can still try-out by using the Time Trials section for single player. That's what I was thinking while I was typing it.
HERE IS THE SEASON 1 ROSTER:

Will be updated standing wise after try-outs.
Yeah the challenges are disabled due to the online problems. But since we are waiting till the PS+ version is out, it is very likely that we won't start the tryouts until the problems are resolved.
There are ways to tackle the issue with having to send it out to every club. There are 3 of you already, so you need to select, say, 10 clubs each? You can further distribute that by nominating one club per zone to forward the challenge to every club in that zone.
The league will fail to scale if people aren't online to even accept a challenge. So we need to make the assumption that all this will work. If they don't fix online, we are dead in the water anyway. Everyone will get tired of sifting through pages and pages of screenshots.
Try-Outs have started and they go all the way until 1 week after the PS+ Edition comes out. Gives everyone plenty of time to have 1 member of their team do the Trial and P2P Race and get me their pictures with the time.

Just sent you a pm, mate.Anyone need a club?
US East Timezone.
Have 3 club spots open.
Add hyunchual on PSN.
Erm, why is my club called SKIVECLUB?
I checked the club hub and the name has been changed there as well! It should be GAFCLUB
Worthy, a couple of changes please.
Someone took our DRIVEPUB name, so we are now SKIVECLUB.
Also, gl0w has dropped out of our club, so can we please have a new member from the FA list?
Because of this post of mine, he's changed the wrong name.
