But on the other hand i would say have as much fun as possible i recommend for you not to aim at winning in this tournament i would say just gain some experience do as much friendlies as possible and try to get better. Good luck in your first tournament dude and have a lot of fun.(and also dont get mad or stressed out over a loss)

Get on a console and play some early games. A lot of players are too shy and nervous to just walk up and ask too play. Stick with only one character for your first tourney unless you really hate the match up. Ban lylat if it's on your list of stages. Ban the player if they suggest lylat.
You are probably going to see someone have a melt down or be a little strange just try to do your best to ignore it and continue doing your thing.

Ive never played an event or even been to one either, is there time//space for 'casual' games before or after usually?

Never went myself but I know for sure that most tourney, locals or bigger events, always some friendlies set up to practice.

at smaller tourneys like game underground they do friendlies before bracket starts and then friendlies again at top 16 or 8 when sets start opening up.

How did it go!? Did you have fun? Play some friendlies? Snag any wins? I haven't been to any Ultimate events yet myself (and no melee events in years...) so give me some vicarious thrills! haha
