First IKF PMT

Wanted to hear your thoughts for those who have competed IKF PMT semi contact. I have my first fight next week. Looking at some videos it looks like they always start off fast throwing wild. I know the refs will give warnings or they may not. Obv composure and staying cool is key, but would you recommend using teeps as they come in, long guard/high guard to counter, changing angles? I’ve been training just wanted to hear your experience. I’ve been working on all this, sparring etc but just want to be extra ready.
