here is what here are 100% sure on that will be played
Halo 3 FFA (we might do a 4v4 I just need to look at the venue size first)
SSBB (2v2 or 1v1 help here? which is more popular)
GOW2
Those right now are the 100% for sure games. Rules, fee's and prizes are being worked out. But overall you can pretty well bank on the standard rules everyone is used too.
I am going to say that the #1 enforced rule will be
No Hardware, No play.
People who play pay good money for there setups. Most have there favorite controller headsets etc. And someone who does not bring there own hardware should not be allowed to play on some random persons hardware.. Now exceptions will be made if person "A" Brings hardware and are good friends with Person "B" and Person "A" allows it and it dont conflict with the time Person "A" plays.
We will have the room set up and laid out with position numbers. Everyone will be assigned a position depending on the game(s) they are playing. Brackets will be set up with the players Alias and position number. Food Concessions will also be on hand as well I just confirmed that today. (had to find me some people to work it) had some of my friends wives pitch in to help out with it. We should have Chips, Candy, Soda Pop, and cookies and what ever else the girls drum up.
The software Ive wrote lays out the bracket, with estimated start times. we will have a PA system and will announce game times for players 5 mins before. Hopefully we will have a Large LCD with the bracket displayed on it.
