any tips for getting into the second round
i average 22-24 secs on 3x3 and around 6 secs on 2x2
if i dont have a chance then how do i enjoy myself
Learn full PLL if you haven't already, do slow solves for lookahead and more efficient F2L solutions.
Learn Ortega for 2x2 if you haven't already, if you want to use LBL the best thing to do is just spam solves.
The best way to enjoy yourself at a comp is talking to other cubers.
Good luck!

Its like sub 20 and because it is your first comp you not be used to nerves so try putting yourself in high pressure enviorments to practice.
 
Whenever I get a bad result in a comp, I just laugh at it and move on because there's really nothing you can do about it. Stressing about it will only make things worse. Also, be sure to socialize with other cubers! This is coming from an introvert, and it's something that is very hard for me to do, but every interaction I've had with a cuber in a competition was positive. Knowing that no one there is judging your bad solves (except for your judge lol) really boosts self confidence and results in better times.
