Well on the "getting owned" part...if you lose a match, just take it all in stride, don't get upset. Especially tournament matches! It's common to feel really disappointed about tournament performance, but don't worry, just remember that you played your best.
It always helps to be a good sport. When I first started going to the biweeklies, I would get 4-stocked (I still do sometimes, lol) but I never got sad or angry about losing. You get better with every match you play. Even if you place last. You always improve.
If you're confused about any rules in the tournament, feel free to ask any of us, we'll be glad to help you out.
Hmm not much else I can think of. Just remember to have fun! Oh and try not to get stressed out or nervous in the tournament. It's very common if it's your first tournament. You play better when you're calm, so try to relax.
It's very important to have a cool head.
