Queensland Power Rankings 29/12/09
Mission Statement:
Using a set of defined criteria, the goal of the Queensland Power Rankings is to regularly maintain an ordered list of the state’s top 10 players of the games Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To be utilised by the opinions of several, informed panelists, the criteria, will be designed to ensure an objective and fair measurement of each player’s perceived skill to properly order them within each power ranking list.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Queensland Power Ranking project for the smash series is to encourage the competitive development of the game and to nurture the desire of lesser players to compete for placement on and within the power rankings. The power rankings will drive all players to consistently attend tournaments and will also serve as a tool for tournament organisers to accurately seed state level smash events.

Criteria:
1) Recent Tournament Placements
* Must have competed in a tournament within 3 months of the updated list.
* The more recent the tournament, the more weight it holds in determining placement on the ranking.
* More recent wins or losses hold more weight.
* More tournament results equates to more consistency in placement.
* Tournament Placement only accounts for standard singles events. Doubles/Low Tier events do not count towards the rankings
* Self imposed handicaps should not to be taken into consideration in this or any other criteria. (This includes using low tier characters in a standard singles event)
2) Win/Loss History
* Placement on the power rankings is influenced by who you have beaten in tournaments
* Conversely; it is also affected by whom you have lost to.
* The significance of these wins and losses is determined by the perceived skill level of the opponent (be they power ranked or not).
* Money Matches/Out of State tournament performance is counted.
* Friendlies are not an acceptable means of perceiving the skill level of a player and do not count towards power ranking considerations. Taking friendlies into account is in direct opposition of the goals and purpose of the power rankings.
3) Exceptions/Panelist Discretion
* In the event of forfeiting from a tournament, it will be up to the panel to use their discretion in using the limited results supplied. Panelists will take into consideration the circumstances surrounding the forfeit.
* All considerations by the panel should not be heavily dictated by the criteria, the criteria instead serving to guide the panel to the most accurate outcome.

If you disagree with a placing please give specific reasons why i.e refer to a bracket image (they are all in the hotcats thread). There is a chance the panelists may have missed something developing this list.
