Practice, practice & more practice. If you can't get out on the water as much as you would like, just go out in your back yard & practice flipping or casting into a 5 gallon bucket. For the guys who sight fish a lot, making accurate casts is super important.
Do your homework when fishing new areas. Always have a backup plan. Then make a backup plan for your backup plan & then make a backup plan for that.
Pay attention to your surroundings & the weather. Prepare for changing weather conditions.
Take care of your equipment & keep it in tip top shape. Equipment failure always seems to bite a team or 2 in the butt every tournament.

It’s not just about casting a certain bait at a fish, it's having a plan, and a back-up, and a back-up for your back-up. It's pure time on the water and knowing what is going to be good fish for that tournament and what is not. Knowing based on certain conditions where the fish will travel or how they will react.
Over time (years) you build a knowledge base of certain areas, kind of like knowing what traffic will be like in your areas at certain parts of the day.
There really is no substitute for time on the water and tournament experience...
