Tournament Preparation

Step 5

Spend time in the room before the tournament. You need to be comfortable where you perform. Walk around. Listen to the sounds. Absorb the movement around you.

The director w ill be calling names, making announcements and interrupting play. It is all part of the tournament experience. Be comfortable with this noise. Don’t resist it.
