My opening for white is usually 4 knights and Italian; for black, I usually use open sicilian and QID. My question is, for open otb, it's better to play solid opening like London or French, or just use my old repertoire? Note : I hate gambit.
What is your chess federation OTB rating?

It's not for fide, It's just a chess tournament between neighbors. The reason I'm asking was to raise my change to win this tournament because there's money if I win this, and I need those money badly.

I'm also don't know if there will be opponents that have a high fide rating or not.
How many people?
Time control?
How many rounds?
When is it?
Stick with the basics:
Opening Principles.
Blunder check your moves.
Take your time.

Openings are not going to decide your games. Openings take years to properly play and understand. Have fun and good luck.
Play whatever you play online now, unless ofcourse, if you play something like the bongcloud.

Play whatever you normally play. I played in an OTB Tournament yesterday. Petroff that transposed to an Exchange French (B), Levitsky Attack (W), and Classical Dutch (B), won the first two, drew the third. You don't just change openings because it is OTB.

Dutch, scotch gambit, Danish gambit, caro Kann, Sicilian (those are all my favorite openings)

You should not be changing anything in how you play. The more you know since before the better.

Bong Cloud or the Cow are probably the best because opponents won’t have prepared for this 🙌
