Looking to fly in my first store-run tournament next weekend and was considering this list
Xizor- Autothrusters, Predator
2x Binarye Pirates
Guri- Autothrusters, Virago, Predator, Sensor Jammer
Any tips on how I should fly them and strategies for some of the most common matchups?

You, I like you.
I would keep Guri cheaper and give her Outmaneuver instead of Predator, and put Virago with FCS on the Prince...probably trade his predator for PTL...but that's just me.
I'd separate Guri from the pack. Keep Xizor with the Pirates. Fly Xizor in front of the Pirates. You'd rather your opponent shoot at Xizor so you can spread the damage around. If your opponent goes after Guri then dodge the arcs the best you can until the rest of your ships can come in a flank. If your opponent goes after Xizor, then joust away and bring in Guri from the flank. Your list is pretty much all glass cannons, so you are going to have to destroy enemy ships fast and hope Xizor or Guri can be your closer.
Problems: You have a pretty low pilot skill and that will be a problem against Decimator/Fel and Brobots w/ VI. You'll have a very hard time dodging their arcs.
Your list is pretty similar to my dual Star Viper list. I decided to put Virago on Prince Xizor though since he has the higher PS, he can do more with it IMO.

I have also revised it to include Wave 7 upgrades since they are coming in the near future. I included Glitterstim on Xizor and Crack Shot on Guri. As someone mentioned earlier, these are all really "glass canons" so I figured I need insurance these can hit hard and fast.
Against a Devastator/Fel matchup, I'd probably have Guri and the 2 Pirates going after Fel so it's hard for her to arc dodge all 3 of them, and have Xizor trying to chip away at the Devastator (though, I say this here, I'd probably not listen to my own strategy and just have everyone take out Fel)
Against BroBots, it'd be a basic strategy of everyone targeting one Iggy and then the other.
