Don't try to play fancy chess!
Players in the lower rating brackets usually make enough mistakes in the middle game to get themselves in bad positions. Just playing solid moves should be the best way to go.
I wish somebody would have told me this before I attended my first tournament. I felt like a 14 year old Kasparov with all the people around me and I obviously completely failed!
I wish you the best of luck!
