This is how I remember it, it may have changed but I don't think so. If you have not cut or altered the factory firwall in any way it is 9.99 and quicker. If you have made changes (cut out and replaced with aluminum as an example) it is 10.99 and quicker. Also I think if you have a t-top type car it has to follow the convertible rules? Not sure if this is in the books yet or not, but I have heard it is coming. Roll bar @ 11.99 and roll cage at 10.99?

And yes, 9.99 or quicker need a 10-point, unless you have an altered firewall. Then it is at 10.99. Otherwise a 5-point is legal to 10.00 (unaltered firewall) or 11.00 (modified firewall).
