Should I have a game plan for competition?

Yes - plan beats no plan. Going in with intent makes you more likely to get what you want, especially in the first seconds when everything is neutral. Ideally plan to get an advantage immediately, not just reach a position. But do not be overcommitted - recognize when your plan is not working and try something else. Balance preparation with spontaneity.
