You should've put your non-dominant leg back and rested your weight backwards. This allows you to get a faster start, because of all the momentum created when you move at the buzzer: First, you rock your weight forward, creating a bit of inertia forward, as well as into the ground. Next, you push with your dominant leg, propelling you upwards, to counteract the downwards motion, as well as forward, adding to your velocity.
Also, it's harder to fall over this way, because you'll immediately catch yourself with your other leg... Well... usually.
The way you were standing, it looks like someone could've poked you in the rear and you would've tipped over forwards.

Yeah, that's the one where I actually fell over... they started the thing about 3 times, and I was getting impatient... I shifted around, and I wasn't quite ready for the start of that match. Most of them, I was better prepared, but that one kinda caught me off guard, especially when they didn't actually start the match... I guess part of it was the way I grabbed my stack, too. I took all 4 together, and running out usually wasn't the best way to do that. If I started with a stance that was too agressive, it didn't help much.
