So I'm going to Mayhem this weekend. I've been to plenty of local tourneys but nothing quite as big. I always seem to choke and end up throwing games I know I could have won. Any tricks you guys use to keep your composure in tournament? What do you think about during the match to keep your cool?

Don't get excited over winning before you potentially win. Don't think about who will win/lose and don't think about what will happen because of it. Think about what your opponents tend to do and find habits. Do what counters their most likely options. Not caring about losing might be helpful
