What to watch out for in a BJJ tournament?
Ive done wrestling and Judo for about 2 years and Im comfortable with my gi takedowns for a BJJ tournament but Im thinking of entering the no-gi division as well. What wrestling takedowns should I use and which ones should I avoid. And for my hot should I use it like I do in wrestling or keep my head on the inside all the time to avoid the gullotine.

Its not their stand up game you should be worried about, because BJJ is infamous for lacking effective take downs, most people who take up BJJ, for their takedowns, often use Judo or Catch on the side. But that is the least of your worries, what you need to watch out for are the most overused weapons, namely, the arm bar and the rear naked choke. If you happen to be muscular, and have an intimidating appearance, you can count on the fact that a choke or arm bar will be attempted on you, so, watch out for those two.
I'm not an expert, nor do I know any martial arts; I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who if they knew BJJ, that is probably what I'd use most, arm bars or chokes.
