I use #6 currently, but this thread and system is reasonably redundant, because I'd use #6 even if someone else did (as I did in seasons past when #6 was used in a division I was not in).
So, is there a chance that this could be made a little more official? If not, it's really redundant as people (me) do what they want to anyway...
1. Regulations to use your proper allocated number, or else suffer penalty?
2. Regulations written in the OP of each division's thread?
3. Lifetime use on GT Sport?
Power to you if you enjoy the affinity and ownership over your number and keep it consistent each season, but because these are not mandatory, I have no affinity towards these things and they change based on my temperament.

While I'm on this similar topic, I might add that the crossover to GT Sport is a valuable opportunity to re-think the systems and initiatives currently undertaken. Things can always be analysed and improved upon, and I think that the teams system is one of such things; my current team BHR has a brilliant backstory and heritage, and I feel that other teams may not have such a presence. IS a cross-platform teams championship necessary? Maybe a team could establish themselves to dominate one game or another, to the detriment of other ones? Team owners instead of merely team captains (a person who endeavours to start and build their own team's reputation, thereby facilitating an active interest in its success, and creating in-house driver development and tutelage policies)? I know I personally would like a rule that a team must have a minimum and maximum of two drivers per division. Having a teammate is nice and better than having teammates in a variety of situations, speeds and games. Threads in the official league section could also be streamlined to make things easier to find and understand as well. The GT6 thread list goes on and on. An ancillary 'folder' akin to the 'Past Seasons' tab could hold all the messy stuff like voting threads, support threads, name list, car and track lists, etc., so that the official, streamlined page would have just the division threads, and a singular results thread for tables (which includes the drivers championships, teams championships table, and the race and lap times collated table).
Blah blah blah... I got too enthusiastic with this post as usual.
PS. I love the admins and the work they do to the betterment of the site.

tl;dr - I find this thread quite redundant in its current situation, and I believe that the admin time and effort could be better spent elsewhere on the site than on a number system that holds no authority.
