I'm so nervous about going. I know nobody cares at the competition or anything, but I feel so inferior. I mean, I just don't know if I should compete. my pb is 27.15 and I average about 37 seconds. Not exactly World Championship material lol.

Pretty much. There will be slower people. Just remember, you're not there to win. You're there for the experience and the fun. And plus, you can improve before then.

I know I won't win/even place high, but I'm gonna compete. It's about beating your own personal bests not winning.
Edit: I'm all registered. Next is taking care of flight and hotel.

That's true, I'm not there to win, I'm there for fun... I don't know why it bothers me, haha.

People usually go to "competitions" to compete. If you want to have fun, you go to a "party".
Just saying... it's psychological or something.

Well of course I would compete, but it's both fun and competitive. I'm just saying, I don't expect to make a drastic impact on the results of the competition lol.

You can compete, lose, and have fun all at the same time.

Worlds is just a huge Rubik's themed party with a high stakes competition running on the side.

Clearly someone takes it a bit too seriously. I go to comps to have fun and help out and see my friends.
On-topic: I'm not sure if I'm going, still =x
Noahaha

This is my plan:
1. Have fun
2. Compete in 5BLD
3. Have more fun
Any objections?

I really wanted to go, but parents wouldn't let me learn how to drive in time, and I doubt I could stand going 24 hours in a car all by myself

Competitions - " Have Fun and Fair"
in Psychology Have Fun = find something pleasure for your own personally, of course we will have fun if we meet friends and break new pb's but competition must be Fair.
On Topic : Good luck WC 2013. Viva Las Vegas!

This is a perfect explanation of what Worlds is. This Worlds will be no different, except we will have all cubing competent judges and the remarkable efficiency of US Nationals.
And you get to see me. I am delightful.

I can't wait to go. I just don't know what to sign up for lol. I'm only decent at 3x3x3 speed solve, but I'm familiar with 2x2x2. However my average is around 15 seconds. Hmm... I need to learn some new modes lol.
Btw, is their a registration limit? Like, can it fill up?

If it makes you feel better, I had a chance to go to the World Championships in 2003 and I didn't go because I knew I was terribly slow. To this day I still regret it. I went to the World Championships in 2005, did terrible, but had a blast and don't regret it for an instant.
