If any of you follow our twitter @HandHeldLounges, you already know most of the haps! BUT, now that we have the final details from Nintendo, all of the tourney info can be posted 
First things first, look at the shiny: http://east.paxsite.com/schedule/category/hh
NOTE: All tourney sign-ups begin Friday as soon as the doors are open. Unless otherwise state, the cap is 64 total participants for each game. We are using the 2 first round system again (sign up for one, not both).
Secondly, rule mongering:
Tetris DS and Mario Kart DS - SAME AS IT EVER WAS - But really, most of you know the score. For those uninitiated, the rules will be posted on site, and you can ask here if need be.
Mario Kart 7 - Folks will be using their own Ghost Data. We will have a few to-borrow copies, and we'll do our best to get them up to speed by the tournament.
Kid Icarus: Uprising - Teams will be put together to play rounds of Light vs Dark BUT the highest score moves on, not the winning team. Assuming 72 participants, 12 will move on to the final round where everyone will play 3 rounds of Light vs Dark in random match ups. Those 3 scores will be added up to determine the overall tourney winner!
Banned Powers
• Libra Sponge
• Pisces Heal
• Trade Off
Banned Weapons
• Magnus Club
Your friendly neighborhood HH Enforcers and Nintendo staff will be on hand to make sure everyone's power and weapons list is kosher.
As always, we're super excited to see old and new attendees alike and hope everyone else is pumped for some good times!
P.S. The skittle fairy may make a comeback. >_>

A) wonderful handle
These would be the rules handed down from Nintendo. I think it makes the first round more interesting for sure.
On Snaking: The usual answer is, if you don't know what it is, you shouldn't have to worry. And if you do know what it is, don't abuse it and please don't complain about not being able to use something that is an exploit.
We try to make these tourneys fun and accessible to everyone and would like to keep it that way.

So, by snaking, it's referring to the use of the drift boost on straightaways? Are people still allowed to drift boost on turns?

Point taken. I found a better one:
Trade me pins! - https://pinnypals.com/pals/TheAggroCraig
That still doesn't answer my original question about whether or not regular drift boosting around turns will be banned or not.
Its more you can use your ghost data/personal pimped kart if you want.
AGAIN ON SNAKING
It is not the same as drifting around a corner. The start race boost is fine if you can do it. (lord knows I almost always fail at it)
Snaking as we consider it is the back and forth boosting on straight aways.
Sorry! To fit everything in this weekend, those were the best times. Remember that there are two first rounds to choose from. Hope you can make it.
