Having an F rating hasn't changed this one bit, so I'm not bothered with regional.

Theres no "ability rating" box to fill in if you enter nationals. Regionals i wouldnt personally class as "big meetings". You are seeded initially based upon your F ( Formula ) grading. This is based on regional results and not your own opinion of your ability so you get seeded much more accurately.
The ability level is obviously down to the honesty of the person holding the pen. You arent really able to give an accurate ability level unless you know exactly whos attending anyway. You might be the slowest driver there.
