Help! I know almost nothing about FLL.

FLL has documented most procedures for running tournaments.
If this is an "official" tournament, such as a qualifier, you need to follow these. If this is a local scrimmage (which are great experience for the teams) you need still need to see these procedures, but have a little more flexibility. (for example, some scrimmages don't have research presentations).
As has been mentioned, capacity decisions drives many of the other FLL gears. Running a tournament is a lot of work, but also so much fun. At the minimum, you will need dozens of volunteers. Just setting up the tournament tables takes hours.
I would suggest that you contact your FLL partner asap.
