Being sponsored basically means that (most likely) a company has agreed to give you something in return for something. For Example, a company like Best Buy might sponsor a 4 man MLG team to go to MLG. They can pay for planes, hotels, cabs, entry fees, etc and in return the team might wear a shirt that has there logo on it and get them lots of publicity and if they win some money than the sponsor most likely gets a portion of the prize.
My team Focus Fire is currently sponsored by Fast Track Appraisals Inc. They pay for our hotels, taxis, and Team/FFA passes for all of the 07 MLG events. They sent us a contract that had to be signed and notarized. In the event that we win money, we owe them nothing.
As for clan sponsorships, that usually means that a company has agreed to send a team from that clan to an MLG event. Usually the best 4 players in the clan are selected by the overlord to make a team and make use of the sponsorship.
Hope that helps.
