Does the NCRS (middle plate) on the GS20 extend outward (deploy) when plus 5 is selected or is it retracted? We are newbies. Thanks.

i always get confused until I am on the boat using it for a bit.
If I remember correctly, factory settings are NCRS 0 and NSS 5. that means the NCRS plate is fully retracted (up) to allow the stern of the boat to sink more into the water, and the NSS plates are fully deployed. this produces the biggest surf wave (tallest, but also shortest)
Increasing the NCRS moves the plate down, flattens the wake, and helps the boat get on plane quicker and keeps the bow down.

NCRS 5 and NSS 0 are factory settings.
NCRS 5 is plate fully up, so stern sinks down

That's correct. It is dumb. 1 is fully engaged. 5 is the least engaged. The opposite is true of the NSS.
I suspect the purpose of this was to make 5 and 5 the highest figures, with respect to the steepness of the surf wave.
My personal preference for surf, in a GS22, is 1 NSS and 5 NCRS, 11.2 MPH.

Yea it's hard to keep it straight. We pretty much surf at NSS 0 and NCRS 3 at 11.2 but that is on a 230, not a G. The NSS 0 produces the longest wake which we all like and with a little NCRS dialed in it cleans up the lip at the top. If I'm surfing the Starboard side I often go to NCRS 1 to cut some of the steep out of it.

I believe you meant NCRS here? NSS 5 is the Surf system on the corner deployed all the way out. If you run NSS at 0 you are not even using it correct?
So 5 for both means barely engaged or barely in the water. For surfing, this means the boat stern sits deeper and the boat crab walls the least when both are at 5. This gives a steep short wave. Both at 0 (both plates fully engaged) lifts the stern and causes naximal crab walk giving a long flat wave.
