Hey everyone, as the title says, I'm new to PAX. I do not know how to join a tourney. Do I have to do something in advance, or just go to the tourney when it starts and sign up?

On the day of the tournament, just head to the area where the tournament is set to take place (pc, tabletop, handheld, so on) and one of the enforcers there will be able to direct you to where the sign ups are. You should do this first thing in the morning on the day of the tournament as popular tournaments tend to fill up fast.
Unless anything has changed, that's how it's been.

Firstly, welcome to PAX East! I hope you have a great time. :biggrin:
As far as tourney details go, we typically don't know specifics until the day of. However, some have general details in the Guidebook app (the link is on the main PAX East page) listing for that tourney (ex: Super Smash Bros lists "64 players 4-way FFA").
There's nothing listed for the Minecraft tournament just yet, but these update frequently so check often. Hope that helps!
stupid question, do you have to own a copy of the games for the handheld tournaments or do they have specific stations where all the tournaments are played?

I HIGHLY doubt they would have you bring your own game copy.

For the console tourneys, those are all arranged and set up. For the handhelds, though they have copies of the game to borrow, you might want to bring your own just to be safe.
If someone wanted to go to a PC tourney and wanted to play on an xbox controller, would that be allowed and should you bring your own?
I believe (someone can correct me) the pc area has Xbox controllers at each of the stations. I remember playing duck game and using an Xbox controller at the time.
Thanks for the reply, one last question before I jump in on some random tournaments
For anyone who has won a video/board game tournament at PAX, what prizes have you seen? Do you get credit for the merch booth,tshirts, random board games?

The prizes for the PAX-run tourneys are medals. Ones run by external vendors (mostly in Tabletop) have their own prizes that are often bigger, but have an entry fee.

Thanks so much.
Now is the Minecraft tournament PvP, or...?
