Yeah just do what you are asked and enjoy.
Most competitions follow CPSA rules. I would have a quick look through the CPSA ESP rules as they may save you any confusion. Plus, by actually reading the rules you will be in an exclusive club of the 5% of shooters that have.
A brief version is here.

Well I had a thoroughly enjoyable morning!
Not knowing anyone I was placed into a squad. The guys were all very friendly and explained if I had any questions.
We started with a flush, 10 birds per person in the squad, all in a line, shoot at anything you see. I think the theory was that was to be included in the scores but it was really just used as a warm up.
Then followed 50 sporting targets across 5 stands. A report B x2, B report A x2, then finish with a sim pair on every stand.
I shot 38 out of 50, dropping the first 4 targets on my first stand until I settled in. No straights, but 2 stands with 9 out of 10.
Back to the clubhouse for the prizes and scratch high gun was 46. They had a handicapped 1st, 2nd and 3rd and the man who took first was in my squad and also shot 38. So I'm kidding myself that if I had shot a comp before and had a handicap established I may have been in the prizes!
Although I would feel terrible taking a prize of someone who actually shot more targets than me.
Can't wait for the next competition. Shooting individually is fun but I knew the competitive side would hook me.

Thank you very much, I was happy with the way I shot. My first stand I dropped 4 in a row, which was my worst performance. But after that I felt really good and just enjoyed the experience.
