This should cover pretty much everything. I understand you're all coming from distant and varying lands, and it's for that reason, lest I shoot myself, I can't field all of your specific questions.

Alright everyone, here goes.
The tournament will take place at Roosevelt hall, Farmingdale University ( http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6130/farmingdalemapng6.jpg ). Farmingdale State College, 2350 Broadhollow Rd, Farmingdale, NY, 11735
Schedule:
Saturday May 5th

6 PM-7:30 PM - Singles top 6 bracket/prizes
7:30-9 PM- Doubles top 6 bracket/prizes
9 PM-10 PM-Cleanup
The tournament will consist of a doubles and singles tournament with complete rules below (for those of you familiar with MLG last year they are the same that we closed the year with). Pools will be seeded using last years rank points, with those without points being randomly seeded.
Registration will be done only through mlgpro.com and it will close on April 30st. Details and registration should be up on the web-site shortly. Also a few days before the tournament we will make all the pools available to everyone via mlgpro.com
There is a limited amount of housing available. Rei and his friends live on campus and are willing to house with special consideration to those who speak up in advance and those who are traveling the furthest. There also might be smashers in the Long Island area willing to house, and it would be greatly appreciated if they posted what’s up. After that there are some nearby hotels that are I would suggest talking with other smashers as far as sharing rooms. Rei and I will be working on group rates for you guys, so watch for info. But we need to know the approxiamate number of interested people so please pm "Rei" or post if you are interested.
SETUPS.. WE NEED SETUPS. We have a great venue that is very spacious, so the more setups we have the more smoothly the tournament can run and the more free play there will be. If we are forced to rent setups money that would be going towards the prize pool will otherwise be forced to be used for this. If you could bring a setup 19 inch or bigger please pm Rei (should have a post somewhere on the first couple pages) as he is main guy behind the organization of this event. And he will add you to the setup list.
Prizes: All prizes are percentaged based on the total we take in for registration plus the money we add to the pot
1st- 50%
2nd-26%
3rd-12%
4th-6%
5th-4%
6th-2%
SPECIAL BONUSES:
-Depending on the final budget will be adding somewhere between $800 and $400 dollars to the prize pool.
-One of the biggest pieces of feedback I got from Pros after last season was how much they liked getting food during the tournament. And while this isnt the main tour we have arranged to provide food throughout the tournament for anyone who finished in the Top 16 in singles or doubles after last year. We are still working out the what/when/how many meals (it should be 2 and maybe a snack per day though). However I need to know exactly how many people we need food for. So if you were Top 16 and attending you need to email me by April 3oth at jversical@mlgpro.com. Subject: NY Food. Also, let me make this clear the food is for you and you only. Anyone caught given out food we simply not receive anymore at the event or any other MLG sponsored events this year. Any left over food we will try to give out to those of you good enough to bring setups.
-To any of you who had attended Rei’s last tournament, A Call to Arms, you’ll remember that Redbull attended. Gladly, Redbull agreed to show up again and hang out. They’ll be setting up coolers, handing drinks out, and bringing some other merch. This, unlike the food, is open to everyone.
