This is the first opportunity I'll have to go to a competition. I am looking for some advice. I CAN solve a 4x4 but not quite fast enough for the cutoff time. I can also do 3x3 BLD but am not very accurate or fast. Would you recommend just participating in the 3x3 speed solve, and watching the other events and waiting until next time to do those events, or hop in and try them even if I don't do very well? Looking forward to meeting some other speed cubers!

You have three months; I would try as hard as possible now, because you can probably get under the cutoff times by then :D

Even if you don't make the cutoff times for any of the events, competitions can be fun even just as like a massive cube meet.
