For a Taekwondo Tournament I would recomend the following training:
- Cardio
- Movement
- Technique Combinations
- Strength.

An exact program is hard to say over the internet because I dont know your or have met you. But in the above areas I recomend the following activities:
For Cadrio
- Lots of running and skipping at least for 1 hour a day
Movement
- Do a simple kick combination, ie Bandal Chagi, Bandal Chagi then evade at least 2 metres
Techniques Combinations
- Keep it simple, Bandal Chagi followed by Bandal Chagi, Dwit Chagi, Chigo Chagi. Remember to vary the heights of your techniques - first one to the body followed by another body kick or a head kick.
Strength
- Push Ups and sit up are great for strong abs, which you need in a tournament because your being kicked.

Remember the following when practasing and competing:
- If you stand still you will get hit, kick and evade out, kick and clinch (hug your opponent) or keep kickin
- Kick off the back foot on the spot. When your opponent comes at you stand your ground and just kick off the back foot. Be careful not to fall for a fake.
- Use front foot and back foot kicks

ALWAYS HAVE FUN

While not in TKD I fought in a number of their tournaments when I was younger and I have to agree with one of the other answers here. Cardio is extremely important since the fighting is continuous and the action is not stopped to award points like in sport karate and giving a fighter a brief chance for rest. Since the point scoring favors strong kicking techniques and kicks take more energy to throw this also makes cardio doubly important. I would recommend you start training four to five weeks in advance not just a week or two before.

I would also work on foot work and distancing along with using my lead leg for not just kicks but also for using it like a jab. That way you can at times keep your opponent at a better distance for throwing your rear leg power shots that tend to score points more. Along with that also work on rapid, hard hand combinations to the body so that if your opponent gets inside you still have a chance of scoring a point with a hard body shot. Then as you step back out throw kicks with the lead leg and rear power leg as the distance again increases between you and him. Moving at angles sometimes when attacking or moving back out will also be beneficial against some of the stronger fighters so practice that as well.

One of the drills that I have always found useful is doing a few three or four minute rounds of nothing but kicks. No hands, just moving and throwing kicks and using my lead leg like I mentioned above to score with and also set up my rear leg power shots. Doing that along with three or four rounds of using both hands and legs will help develop your combinations, distancing and foot work. Some running also will give you even more and better cardio so that you will not become as tired as your opponents and will recover between matches much quicker. Good luck.
