New to competitive Brawl?
If you’re a gamer with a thirst for the highest-level smash competition in the nation, you’re in for some great news. The newly released Super Smash Bros. Brawl has become a hit in all the major capital cities, with large tournaments and smashfests abuzz. GotGames will become an integral part of delivering what will be a Nationwide Brawl Circuit, with state based ladders, qualifiers and eventually, the Major Finals, which promises to showcase the very best Australian talent. To get a leg into the 'secret' communities of Smash Brawl, here's a brief rundown on the best places to Smash in Australia and the best names to get in contact with.
Sydney
New South Wales was considered a sleeper state throughout much of the Melee era. Often the butt of jokes from neighbouring states, the release of Brawl blew NSW's reputation out of the water with stellar performances from resident Metaknight player - Kulla, taking the major crown in Melbourne's Rambo Tournament earlier this year. Sydney is well supported by a dedicated trio of organised directors. Shaya has been responsible for the launch of a new series of tournaments held in the Eastern Suburbs called BOOST and Forky is gearing up to host bi-weeklies at his private residence in hope of activating the largest potential scene in Australia. Kulla looks set to produce tournaments exclusively for Melee. If you're from Sydney, the future is bright. Very bright. There is also growing interest for competitive Brawl scenes in Canberra, Wollongong and the Hunter Valley.
Melbourne
Melbourne has been seen as the high-profile 'go-getter' scene since the very beginning. It's stake in the Australian Smash Scene is largely attributed to the way it goes about attracting national and global attention - be it renowed guests such as USA's SephirothKen or Japan's Captain Jack, the consistently large national tournaments, or the inertia of building upon a community established seven years ago, Victorians have shown the audacity to punch well above its waist. Melbourne's Monthly Ranbats are a great and friendly of accesing this suprisingly large and diverse community of Smashers - it is held on the third Sunday of every month at the John Curtin Hotel in Lygon Street, directed by CAOTIC and Cronos_Rainbow.
Brisbane - Gold Coast
As much as many Australians would hate to admit it, the Queensland Smash Community arguably has the strongest collection of Smashers in Australia. Alongside their reputation for being talented, they also are known to be lazy, disorganised and obnoxious. Granted, this image is unwarranted, with Gold Coast Smasher, Vyse, pulling the group back together with his newest tournament dubbed 'Queensland Brawl Buddies.' It promises to be Queensland's largest grassroots tournament and the hard work is paying off by renewing competitive interest in the state. Brisbane and the Gold Coast have traditionally gone through a long inter-city rivallry - as to which city is better, you're better off asking for an unbiased opinion.
Adelaide
Much about Adelaide's Smash Scene is summed up by the very nature of the city itself. It's quiet, out of the loop, but supremely underrated in every facet. The Reloaded 08' LAN provided some of the most spectative and marvellously exhuasting series of tournaments Smashers never knew about. And the talent pool? Second to none. Emerging talents of Brawl come in the name of Hybrid (not to be confused with the GotGames Administrator with the same moniker), 2SXC, Oli and Suhayb. Jamage is responsible for administering Adelaide's regular Streetgeek Brawl Tournaments in Daw Park. Expect the scene to be small, well-connected with each other, but cut-off from any musings with the eastern states.
Perth
The West Australian scene has always been about quality over quantity. Whilst other states can churn out scrubs like no tomorrow, WA players are busy exercising their natural talent and expertise - some even expanding the metagames of their characters of choice. Famous for having the world's most impressive Yoshi (BringerofDeath) and a creative Peach player (Quetzalcoatl), WA has much to boast about, if they wanted to. The release of Brawl has given Perth the greatest lease of life it has ever seen and tournament activity has now become a regularity. Cal hosts a series of tournaments called 'PK Brawl' regualrly in Port Kennedy. Word has it a Toon Link player by the name of Sam, is currently the king of the west.
Sound interesting? Get into Brawl and stay tuned for the finer details for the national circuit.

Looking good.
I just wish the 'Greater NSW' thing could be mentioned. While ACT, Wollongong, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley seem to be sprouting interest nothing is guaranteed there. However, I think it could be mentioned that "Outside Sydney" big towns have growing sparks and many keen brawl players, that people should get into now to further expand and grow the community as a whole.

Awesome. Try letting Kotaku.com.au know, along with Aussie-Nintendo.com and PALGN.com.au

awesome, cheers cao
Also we hope for many rounds to be able to be played in person when available/convenient.
Like for the Sydney area having Forky's biweeklies is perfect for this.

Check the Perth Thread, they have some.
Thanks for signing up early guys
Everyone who has joined now (during the BETA period) has the opportunity to **** around and test the new ladder program! I'll have to change the rules considerably to accomodate the ladder program to meet our needs, but many rules will be fundamentally changed. I can elaborate and work on the new rules tonight, but I'll quickly run down some featuers of the new system (which I must say is far more impressive and flexible than my V2. proposal):
- It is a challenge based system.
- Players can choose to challenge anyone up to 5 positions above them.
- There is a 'Challenger' and a 'Defender' in every match.
- Should the Challenger win, they take the position of the Defender.
- Should the Defender win, they gain immunity for a period of time where they cannot receive any challenges (Immunity is set to 2 days by default, I will try and get this changed to 1 week - for reason, see below)
- Should the Challenger lose, they drop a number of positions that is proportional to the number of positions they challenged above them.
- Players can freely decide who they want to play and when they want to play, within the special weeks that I will designate for play (every fortnightly)
- When our BETA testing is done and I am familiar with the workings of the system (along with you testers), the season will be launched, and has a finishing date of 20 December, 2008.
- Final positions will be used for seeding the State Qualifiers, and those who have placed high will be entitiled to all the securities they are used to in competitive play.
- State Qualifier Season will run between January 2009 and February 2009, with the Major Finals set for March or April 2009 in a selected Capital City.
- This season (Season 1) will run for 4 months. The next season will commence after the Major Finals are finished, with the opportunity for new players to test themselves once again. The Major Finals for Season 2 will likely to be shifted to a new host city (obviously Sydney or Brisbane-Gold Coast - we might poll this for lols)

How much time do we have left to register?
Technically speaking, signups haven't started yet. I'm merely inviting Smashers to have a fiddle with the ladder program so that we can understand how it'll fit with the new rules I'm developing - this is a testing period and I'd encourage everyone to join now, because they will have to sooner or later anyway.
When I make the announcement that it's launched and a plethora of new people join the state ladders, then it's all systems go
When states start hitting the 20-man mark (100-man nationwide), then I will proceed.

The groupings of the starter stages (A & B) is because...?

I haven't elaborated on that yet
Basically when a round is announced and the ladders become active for players to assign themselves matches, I will be announcing stages people can play on - and they cannot choose anything else (streamlining the process to reduce disputes especailly via wifi). So I will pick 1 stage from A, 1 stage from B, and 1 stage from C/Counterpick. I'll be switching the stages up every fortnight.

So, how exactly do we test the "beta" ladders?
When you click on the ladder for your state, click on 'Rankings' this will give you a list of everyone on the ladder. From there you can proceed to challenge other players.
