Ok, my first real, sorta real gig is this Saturday. It is an indoor dodge ball turnament for a local boy scout troop. Its in a gym that has two courts and like all gyms, the light sucks. Also, since there will be two courts there will be two games going on at the same time.
The tournament is to help raise money for a local food kitchen.
Right now I have a cannon 50d, 430eII, 70-200 2.8 mono/tripods
Tomorrow I get my new toys: 24-70 2.8L, 3 pocket wizards, 2 Vivitar 285s, two light stands,and two umbrellas
_
Two questions:
1st. Should I just set up the lights on one court so I get good light or would 1 vivitar be good "I will have my 430e on shoe with the PW connected to my PC port" or will it all really depend?
question 1b: should I use the umbrellas to light the court or just bare flash?

I am planing on taking pictures at this event because this is my old scout troop and my fraternity will also be helping out.
I am planing on having a sign up both for teams if they wants pictures. I'm thinking just contact information because I'm not 100% I will be able to get all teams and lighting, post processing, ext.
If I do get good shots, I have several Ideas.

question 2:
I have several ideas for charging
Free+donation= email low res
CD/DVD $1+5 "the $1 is to cover the cost of the dvd"
Prints what ever the printer fee is + donation to the food pantry
So my question is, what should I charge, how, and for DVDs or email, should I send full res or not?
any money earned after cost will be donated
This is my first real chance to get my foot in the door to the general public and need pointers, thanks
