A few general questions about hosting tournaments

Kinda new TO, only have 3 tournaments under my belt, and as each event slowly grows from the last one, I had a couple of questions for more seasoned, veteran TOs, or just tournament attendees in general.

First of all, what kind of ground rules do you have? I'm not talking about game-related, but like behavior. Disrespecting players, equipment, and the venue are big negatives, but I've had to ask people who I know to be associated with drugs to not come if they're gonna come stoned, and I'm planning on extending this rule to any kind of substance abuse.

Also, what kind of fee is reasonable? Say I'm expecting roughly 30 people, and I have a venue fee of $100 for the day. What kind of fee is a good balance so that it's cheap, will help pay for the venue, and still have leftover for the pot?
