Make sure that you get enough sleep the night before. It will be very easy to get excited and find it hard to get sleep. You don't want to go to a tournament where you are groggy from lack of sleep.
Set aside a time for when you are going to sleep and leave an hour before that time as a cushion to just relax by either reading a book (not a chess book) or listening to some relaxing music.
Also make sure to stretch and move around while playing. You are probably going to tense up and it is important to learn how to unwind when you are feeling tense.
Good luck :)
