calculate variations more? when u see a good move, use your time to find a better one?

Just time management in general. In my early OTB events, I found myself playing quickly and ending the game with more than half my time on the clock. My results improved when I started spending more time on each move.

 

How much time you spend, depends a lot on the time control and how quickly you get to a point in the opening where you are unfamiliar with the move made by your opponent or the position reached.

all other things, relax and go in with a good attitude.   your not going to go to your first tournament and dominate; unless your opponents are pretty low rated.  and your rating will rise as you get use to the slow game- even if you make no other improvements.

 

also OTB chess is more pleasant, and polite.

More pleasant and polite? Are you sure you aren't talking about the 20th century?

In speed chess you can often play mostly on intuition with very little calculation and you can get away with it.  At slower rates of play that approach will lead to disaster (unless you are a second Mikhail Tal, or your opponents are much weaker than you) as your opponent will have time to find the flaws in your hasty moves.

You are going to move too fast and lose most of your games like an idiot, guaranteed.

Better luck in your next tournament when you're wiser.

That is not a very nice thing to say, especially when the OP is asking for advice to avoid that very fate.

M & P, but I've given the advice many times in the past and I've always been ignored. They always move too fast, always make stupid moves below their abilities and always lose like dogs.

If the OP can take my warning seriously and suppress his stupid blitzing instinct then he has a chance. If he doesn't then €<>€^%#}{\.?>>#~€£*^~?!€>?!€€

A good general rule is to evaluate the position and make plans while your opponent's clock is running and analyze concrete variations while yours is running. Strict adherence to that schedule is of course not possible, but following it as much as you can makes for efficient use of your time.
