im about to start a local tournament any tips?

Im not bad at all, but there is a little mac user and a zero suit samus that gives me some trouble, im a sheik main, and i also play with dk,kirby and megaman. i just hate little mac's down smash when i try to recover, he always hit me, is not fair, its like the auto edge grab, dont work against him. maybe can i choose battlefield? and land on the platforms?

Little Mac has super armor on all his smashes while they are out. Probably just try and get away to safety? Battlefield sounds like a safe choice, but watch out for him using his up b from below! (Recovery punching move) You just need to play it safe with Mac, I find it an extremely satisfying strategy to throw/smash him off the edge and gimp him

I've only ever been to a tournament once where I lost pretty badly but won some matches so it was fun.

I suggest running Battlefield in general. It depends if you're going for a casual approach with items or competitive without. Counterpicks are not a bad idea, and Battlefield Omega is an okay option if you intend to use a Final Destination type stage(Final Destination has a blinding background and ironically is bad for tourneys solely for that. It's also advantageous to some users like Ganondorf and Little Mac, as well as some projectile users, since there's nowhere to run away or easily dodge).
