You have no chance in this tournament. There will be many strong players in a typical college (or even high school) tournament.

If you're one of the stronger players, I'm pretty sure collusion is the answer.

Do open option majors start out with an extra queen? If not, you're probably f'ed.

Buy a book.

When I was 7, I read a book and taught myself to play.

But...that took 4 days and was (just) before I discovered alcohol.

I think you are in trouble.

What you should do is learn some opening traps. Go to any local bookstore and pick up pandolfinis book called opening traps and zaps (or something like that). This won't make you any good at chess, but it'll give you a chance to have a good result in 3 days.
