I had recently taken part in 4th UIN Sports FIDE tournament this is my 1st fide rated tournament I'm about chess.com rated 1450 and in another id 1700 ( removed).

The tournament is on 25th July but I had seen that there are around more than 150+ rated players with a range of 1400 - 1700 fide elo . What do you think how can I improve myself and give myself even a chance to stand against them or beat them any specific gambits , opening or tricks or some advices ?

I think you mean that you have signed up for that tournament.

I see online that it is a 3 day rapid Chess tournament and the games have a 30/30 time control.

There are no special tips or openings that will help you.

Just play solid chess and take your time. Learning to use your time is something you can practice.

I would change your usernames since I suspect it is your real name and people will take advantage of the time between rounds to look at your games.
