I see you have a 1200 standard live rating (the 1300 blitz being only after 1 game).  This means you aren't a neophyte to chess.  This is about the strength I was in my fist few tournaments.  I'd usually come out with an even score (win as many as I lost and draw the rest) because you're able to enter in sections.  I did play in a small local tourney with only an open section and won a few, lost a few.

If you played in the open section of a big tournament expect to lose every game Tongue Out
