Preparation before Snooker competition!

What are the preparation you need before going for a competition?

Well the tips that i manage to gather and remembered when i 1st joined my 1st every snooker competition in Snooker Arena.. hmm maybe in year 2003 or something.

1)Get enough rest the day before so you can focus better mentally and also physically
2)Do not overeat cause it will leave you bloated and it affects you cause you will need to bend while cueing and that affects your performance
3)Practise at the club that you're playing and try to get use to the table there cause every snooker club's table and cloth is different
4)Practise often and play from memory.
5)Do not underestimate your opponent.
6)Play safe when you're not confident in the shot you're making
7)Do not be overconfident over and easy shot. Many people lost because of this mistake.
8)Be calm and don't be nervous as it will tense you up

This is the tips i can remember and learn and it does affect your game play during the competition.

For me no one thought me the proper basic of snooker and what to do and what not. But i learn mostly from observation. Be it from youtube, real life or even on Astro.
