They are a "Restoration" Society; so they are into 'restoration', rather than maintaining originality. In the NCRS world, a totally original car with undamaged but worn paint would not be appreciated as much as a new, 2-stage paint job at its first car show. 
Sorry, but that just makes no sense to me. (That is my opinion, thank you.)

Lacquer checking can be made to appear less obvious from 5-10 feet, however they will always be present. (I recently cleaned and fixed the original paint ion a one family owned 1936 Ford which still has the orange peel and not a bit of cracking or checking (it is supposedly Soybean enamel, whatever it is it holds up MUCH better than the GM lacquer.
NCRS does have Bowtie awards for original never restored cars.
