competition worthy

I've been Cubing for about 6 months now and have just reached a sub-20 PB with 3x3. I would really like to try competing because I have read that competitions inspire you and are fun! However, I hesitate to try it because I feel I'm not fast enough yet. Let me know if this is just in my head and...

so i average about 38 seconds with the beginners method and learning 2 look oll and pll. already can do f2l kind of. would i be looked down upon at a competition? i want to go to the next california one, thank you :)

ironically, not definite which section this should go in (speedcubing or beginners section), but any thoughts? I wouldve said sub 1-min but any other ideas? P.S please let me know if this should go anywhere else.
