If I understood your question correctly, you are writing that how do I play a different tournament structure that I am not used to?
Before the start of the tournament, I look at what is special about it, let's say I like the longer structure of the tournament when the blinds grow slowly. And if it is a fast structure, I understand that here it will be necessary to open a worse hand and enter more often, since there is not much time.

When you start playing in a tournament, none of the conditions will come as a surprise to you. After all, you make the decision to register based on something)
If you are not satisfied with the structure of the tournament - do not register in it

You can prepare all day long though it's not possible to make a plan for everything, life is too complex and wouldn't be worth it anyway. I prefer to go with the flow after general preparation and correct the course realtime. It's also more fun to learn from practice aka active learning, level black belt.
I'm used to various things, because of this, going out of the comfort zone doesn't bother me that much.

Wonderful! This is a chance to try something new and gain some experience. Sometimes the new is the well-forgotten old.
I had the same experience with SCOOP this year.
I signed up for the HORSE satellite and won a ticket to the $11 tournament. I had to play it ..))
I got into the prize money, although I played this type of tournament a very long time ago, at the very beginning of my poker hobby.

When I satellite into a tourney I really have no interest in playing or I’m unsure how to play but some how get stuck playing it I quickly open google and scan through the rules and what all the hand values are and play 🤦♂️😂😂😂 it’s not the greatest of ideas but in truth I have done this on a few occasions and even made the money 😉😂😂

I never play in tournaments that have an unfamiliar format or structure to me. But sometimes, when I win a ticket in a satellite, I am forced to play. In such cases, I closely monitor the game of my opponents and adjust my strategy and tactics to the game in such a way as to be as effective as possible.

Playing mainly texas holdem, and i think i have played every kind of tournament and every kind of stakes, when it comes to that game, holdem. Even so, it was cash games what i prefered, and where i made my profits som like 10+ year ago,
Friend of mine plays first time online poker, few times he said that he had played, register right away accidently to wrong tournament (Pot limit Omaha ) and won it. So do not lose your hope when it is poker what we are talking about, theres always possibility
Tournaments are just fun. Much funnier if you happend to win a couple.

I'm not sure I like the sound of this at all. Sounds like stress and confusion.
I don't mind trying something new...but I want to know what I'm doing before I start. That might mean reading some articles, books, web pages, watching videos or streams.
But no way would I jump into it cold -- unless it was a freeroll (or reaalllly cheap entry).
What is the benefit of playing a game you are unfamiliar with? Is it just for fun? I find winning quite fun, and that takes some effort even when I think I know the game.
I guess it just depends on why you're playing card games in the first place.
I would have thought that you're trying to get good enough at poker to make a little side income...or at least win enough to pay for the poker itself. I mean, you're on Cards Chat because you want access to freeroll passwords initially. That may not be why you stay...but it is what brings most people in through the door.
Best of luck with it. I suspect there is more room to become a top player in a game other than no-limit hold 'em.
Cheers,

It is an exploration of a new area of the game. Especially when each site invents a new poker game to attract players and has new prices and bonus.

I make sure I'm making the right adjustments during the tournament.
I remember playing a boost ante up MTT one night, where it became obvious the average person did not understand how to properly adjust to the format (players were folding way too often preflop). This quirk in the game allowed me to easily final table as only a handful of players where playing "properly."

it can happen with me because of several reasons. miss-click, tilt, poor tourney offer in given time or i really want to try. pretty much all cases i know, admit, more likely i won't reach money.

It happened to me a few times that I had a wrong click and then I got into the wrong tournament and then I usually have a short OMG moment and then I just play as best I can. I like variety in the game and that's why I like to play other formats or something, but I like it when I did it on purpose lol. If I accidentally slide into a wrong tournament then that's not the end of the world either, but it wasn't intentional and therefore my OMG moment.
