I just had my first comp as a barely 3 stripe white belt. It was a complete disaster. I was analyzing my performance and found that I didn't have a game plan. I was too focused on points and couldn't get to my game. Also I got slept on my first match and I didn't feel right for the next 6 matches... Yes I had 7 matches 3 of which were blue and one was a beast wrestler, all young, I'm 43. I'm not sure I wanna compete again other than I want to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
