How good do you have to be to participate in a contest? I think I am pretty good but not good enough to compete. What kind of tricks should you be able to do take part in a competition?

There are some contest that have a division for beginner…  
If you think that you are ready for a contest, then join one…  
Joining contest doesn’t mean that you have to be good or have to win…  
But to have fun and gain some experience…
