What organization are you competing with?
Typically there is a set range of forms you can perform within your rank.
You pick one of those forms. I am not aware of any competition in which you would make upo your own. I know that AAU TKD rules used to specify that the form could not be altered in any way.

You have to decide now, what form your going to do either by your masters recommendation of what your best at or the one you think your best at. Then practice as many times a day as you can. I used to do mine 50 times a day. Very slowly the first time, and at combat speed the second time. Every other time fast, then very slow. After a few weeks, you will begin to notice the little details that you couldn’t see before. The judges will notice every detail!

Many of these things depend on the federation you belong to, or the individual tournament you attend. Ask your teachers.
The default, however, is that you preform one of your more difficult traditional forms. It doesn’t have to be the highest form you know, but it has to be reasonably advanced for your belt level, and if you pick something simpler than would be expected you’d better have it *down*.

Keep him in kicking range, and don’t let him get so close? If he comes towards you, avoid him by dodging or deflecting his hits.
If you think you’re going to have to face this kind of thing again, get some training in grappling to complement your TKD skills.

Three words: Sprawl, sprawl, sprawl!
Keep distance and concentrate on punching. Lot of jabs. No dirty boxing, the close quarters make you vulnerable to a throw. Limit head kicks, focus on kicks to the knees. Be forewarned, 90 percent of fights go to the ground.

The ideal in a striking art is to not let the grappler get to close. TKD is meant to be fought at a distance, jujitsu/judo and wrestling are meant to be fought as close as possible, learn to maintain distance and you are set.

kick them and keep them at a distance and make sure you do everything fast so they dont have time to grab you
also try things like kicking their hands and arms to weaken them so they cant grab you.
but dont get to close or let them get a hold on you.

Another option which I am shocked hasn’t been mentioned yet is defend. If you go for a defensive positioning it will mean that the grappler will have to attack. If he/she is attacking it means that you are then in a position to counter which in these predicaments is the better position. If they attack high counter low and vice versa. This should keep them off balance more often then not.
