I'm going to a tournament tomorrow. I haven't been to one in about 4 months, so I am not used to playing against people that are a higher skill level than me. What are some good mindgames and tricks that I can use to pull an upset on a top player in my region? Another thing, I sometimes get tournament jitters before the first match of the tournament, what are some good ways to suppress these nerves in order to stay focused and not have my hands mess up?

Best mindgame is to unplug their controller right when the game starts. Demoralizes them quite a bit
