I see the point for F1's and F2's, but F3-F5 is a different story. It doesn't give you a true picture - not in the North West last year at least.
Two rounds (South Lakes and Keighley) had much lower attendances than the Southport and Bury rounds, which means coming last at those meetings netted more points than an impressive performance at the pack Southport Rd 1.
And it doesn't help club funds to be closed for 5 weeks when regionals are elsewhere......

So if F3-F5 grades are useless what are you expected to do, take a persons word for it how good they are?? All F grades are useful which is why you have to do so many to get one so attendance doesn't matter too much. All as it means is the people that could be arsed to go to the Regional will reap the rewards where as the people that didn't will suffer a bit and rightly so.
It depends on your region if you make money or not. At the end of the day its a good way of advertising the hobby and more importantly your club.
