General tips for first competition? What to expect? How to enjoy it the most?

Go to sleep early the night before, don't stress yourself out by practicing. Expect many new friends and adrenaline rushes during solves. Enjoy it most by hanging out with buddies. Do some solves/races and have a good time.

And lube your cube.

I actually didn't even think about lube. Good idea tuning my cubes for comp will be so fun. The sleep thing is a great suggestion as well.

I've checked the wiki, and don't like any there. Does anybody have a good alg for the OLL 20? It's the one with 4 corners oriented and 4 edges unoriented.

Rowe, Dan Cohen, Nakaji, Rama, Stefan, Syuhei, David Woner, Chris Hardwick, Haiyan Zhuang? My point is that the question is too broad to be answered.

Can anyone tell me the story of Gaetan Guimond?

I've tried a few times searching for info about him. Can't find any. He still updates his youtube channel with new videos, though . the latest vid he put up was 3 weeks ago.
