I mean, there isn’t much other than practice a lot of cubing. Make sure to bring your cubes and maybe a camera (and clothes).

True, you don't need clothes if it's in your own state.

True, you don't need clothes if it's in your own state.

As long as it’s not cross-state indecent exposure.

I personally don’t practice as much as normal the day before the come, as I don’t want to get worn out.

how should i train and what should I bring with me

I've never been to a comp, but here are things that I have heard:

-Don't learn new algs 1-2 weeks before
-Do all of your solves with a stackmat timer (if you have one)
-When you practice, do solves in as realistic an environment as possible. For example, if you are going to a big comp, you can look up a yt video of crowd noises and play that in the background.
-You should probably master AUF, because if you are off in a comp, that's a plus 2. (I'm really bad at AUF)
-When you practice, penalty all plus 2s and DNFs

To bring (again, I've never been to a comp, these are just things that I think are logical. I may have missed some stuff):
-1 main for each event
-1 backup main for each event
-Extra screwdriver/tension tools/magnet tools
-Tension/Magnet/etc. nuts or similar adjustment add-ons (it depends on the cube you use)
-Extra lube (make sure they are in ziploc bags, especially lubes that are in tubes such as Weight 5.)
-Cube bags or boxes to keep them from getting dirty
-Laptop
-Stackmat timer (if you have one)
-Camera (optional)
-Chargers (important)
-Any extra puzzles that you want for fun (optional)

I hope this helped!

You don’t get a wca id until after your first comp. I think you can search the comp you’re going to into the wca website and there should be a competitor list

Great question!

Anything like a drawstring bag or an extra backpack will work, wouldn’t recommend bringing school bag. In that bag you want, small snack, (nothing with peanuts) water bottle, and phone charger. I have a bag in a bag for my cubes, for cubes you should have, one cube for each event (aside from a backup 3x3 and a backup from your main event) Someone at your table will have screws and accessories like that. Bring stackmat. There’s something else I’m missing but those are the big ones.
