I was pointed to this forum by the Aussie Nintendo forums.
Essentially, let me introduce myself. I'm Starks from AustralianGamer.com, and my role on the site is the covering and promotion of competitive gaming within Australia. I've been playing competitively on consoles since Halo and Halo 2 on the Xbox, and have been helping to run and have run tournaments for about 2 or 3 years now.
Anyways, I'm not here to convert anyone. My aim is to get some information about the SSBM and SSBB community, as well as understand the rule and game settings required for competitive gaming in Smash.
Could anyone please give me a quick run down of the rules for both Melee and Brawl. The reason I'm asking is I've just been pulled on board a website called GotGames.com.au as head Xbox admin, although the owner of the site and I are extremely interested in incorporating the Nintendo Wii to the sites ladder system; Specifically for SSBB.
I was told that a CAOTIC on this site was the man to talk to in regards to tournament organising, and that he posts here quite regularly.
The ladder I'd like to start would be run with an online emphasis and a small amount of prize money to both 1st and 2nd ($500 and $250 respectively). My main goal would be to help build something for the community to work with and encourage competitive play, as well as reward those who continuously hone their skills.
My second aim is to hopefully get a LAN Tournament up and running. I'm on reasonably good terms with the OHN staff and remember OHN running a SSBM tournament a year or two back, but I've been told that it had mixed success / response. If a tournament was to again be run with some decent prize offerings, would the community be likely to back it?
Thanks for your time, and if you wish to contact me please do not hesitate to e-mail me on starks@australiangamer.com

P.S. Someone stole my name and I had to register a 'db' in front. If you're interested in what the 'db' stands for, it is the prefix for my old Halo clan called 'The Drop Bears'.
