Best preparation = outdoor physical exercise.
About the scoresheet:
Article 8: The recording of the moves
8.1.1
In the course of play each player is required to record his own moves and those of his opponent in the correct manner, move after move, as clearly and legibly as possible, in the algebraic notation (Appendix C), on the ‘scoresheet’ prescribed for the competition.
8.1.2
It is forbidden to write the moves in advance, unless the player is claiming a draw according to Article 9.2, or 9.3 or adjourning a game according to Guidelines I.1.1
8.1.3
A player may reply to his opponent’s move before recording it, if he so wishes. He must record his previous move before making another.
8.1.4
The scoresheet shall be used only for recording the moves, the times of the clocks, offers of a draw, matters relating to a claim and other relevant data.
8.1.5
Both players must record the offer of a draw on the scoresheet with a symbol (=).
8.1.6
If a player is unable to keep score, an assistant, who must be acceptable to the arbiter, may be provided by the player to write the moves. His clock shall be adjusted by the arbiter in an equitable way. This adjustment of the clock shall not apply to a player with a disability.
8.2
The scoresheet shall be visible to the arbiter throughout the game.
8.3
The scoresheets are the property of the organiser of the competition.
8.4
If a player has less than five minutes left on his clock at some stage in a period and does not have additional time of 30 seconds or more added with each move, then for the remainder of the period he is not obliged to meet the requirements of Article 8.1.1.
8.5.1
If neither player keeps score under Article 8.4, the arbiter or an assistant should try to be present and keep score. In this case, immediately after a flag has fallen the arbiter shall stop the chessclock. Then both players shall update their scoresheets, using the arbiter’s or the opponent’s scoresheet.
8.5.2
If only one player has not kept score under Article 8.4, he must, as soon as either flag has fallen, update his scoresheet completely before moving a piece on the chessboard. Provided it is that player’s move, he may use his opponent’s scoresheet, but must return it before making a move.
8.5.3
If no complete scoresheet is available, the players must reconstruct the game on a second chessboard under the control of the arbiter or an assistant. He shall first record the actual game position, clock times, whose clock was running and the number of moves made/completed, if this information is available, before reconstruction takes place.
8.6
If the scoresheets cannot be brought up to date showing that a player has overstepped the allotted time, the next move made shall be considered as the first of the following time period, unless there is evidence that more moves have been made or completed.
8.7
At the conclusion of the game both players shall sign both scoresheets, indicating the result of the game. Even if incorrect, this result shall stand, unless the arbiter decides otherwise.

Do you often play OTB? I haven't in ages. When I did a while back it felt heaps weird. If you haven't played a live opponent OTB recently, I'd suggest doing that. I noticed someone say try to surprise people. I'd say play what you're most confident with, if you're feeling nervous at all. Try to play solid and treat it as a learning experience and you'll probably get the most out of it.

The tourney is on Christmas Day??
Anyways, my advice is to slow down a bit. I'm guessing the time control is longer, so you should slow down. And think about EVERY move, even if it looks like a simple no brainer.
Hello, so I am having a tournament, OTB on 25th so just some tips by some experienced players would be helpful. Also just tell about the scoresheet.
