no matter how hard you climb, if it's your frist comp you have to enter in the lowest division right?

no you don't enter in the lowest category. My first comp I entered in advanced and won it. I should have probably been in open, although I doubt I'll comp climb again.
Generally the comp will have guidelines, ie: v0-1 beginner, v2-4 intermediate, v5-6 advanced v7+ open. Just pick whatever range you are in based on their guidelines and be in that category.

I find that many people in the 'advanced' won't go in open becuase "well, I have no hope of beating Climber X".
I got news for you dude, no-one has a hope of beating Climber X, but we compete where we belong. Most climbers in the Open category aren't in it to win it, they're there because they good climbers who don't belong in Advacned. There is nothing I hate more than seeing the schmuck who won the Advanced category with enough points to have been middle of the pack in Open. and it happens at EVERY comp.
Sack it up and climb where you belong people, and don't give me that "but I don't know where I belong" BS, you climb at the gym with these people, put yourself amongst your peers.
