Australia has had some fierce competition for Smash throughout 2015.
Queensland saw Australia's best Dekar defeated by the hands of S.D. at Brisbane's ButtonSmash in February, and Victoria showcased the talents of international super stars at the recent BAM7 in Melbourne, where new talent was also discovered with Spud from New Zealand out placing all other Australians in Melee.
Well now it's New South Wales turn. The State that's home to the Smash City and where everybody has a Smashing Good Time. Introducing Australia's next Major Smash Tournament

Town & Sydney.
The real Smashville.

https://www.facebook.com/events/551105998360705/

This will be the tournament that decides who really is the best Melee player across Australia and New Zealand. No Gods, just us mere mortals battling against our own rivals.
This will be the tournament Australian Smash 4 exposes customs moves to see what they really bring to the table. Our own taste of EVO only a week before the worlds display.

Too soon, definitely needed more notice than this. Won't be able to secure leave.

Even then, most important question, are customs legal?

The customs rules in that post will be reviewed before Town & Sydney but it will be similar to that nonetheless.
After Town & Sydney and EVO Sydney will reevaluate it stance on custom moves in tournament.

@ Attila_ Attila_ @ Leisha Leisha and anyone else where notice was/is an issue
Sorry about this. Friday events won't be actual tournament sets. If this changes anything. This tournament is independently run by Sydney Smash and even though I and the lead guys at ACL tried to make it work so that we were at ACL this year again, it fell through. Hence the late notice. Next year there will be plenty of notice though.

Can bring up to 4 CRTs and PM/Melee capable Wii's plus a recording setup. A little birdie told me at least three Melbournians are planning to drive up for the event, so they can help me with transferring some gear to the venue. Very excited for this :)

@ Gords Gords contact me again if you need the super large CRT that you used last year for ACL, you'd have to organise a way to transport it there though.

I'd be mad keen for this if I could find someone to drive up with. I'd of course contribute to costs and the like.

You don't count as the region unless you started out there

NZ suck overall, you got 1 good player GW, feel free to challenge any east coast state to a 5v5 with people actually originating from your region

the damage control LOL

if I'm not NZ then why'd I have the NZ icon next to my name??? checkm8

even with just spud tho NZ has improved infinitely since SSV. from 0 good players to 1 good player? it's a good start i think :) we're working on bringing the others up to par, but it'll take some time and hard work.

Should get some crew battles formulated for Melee since we kind of missed out on them at BAM7 =/

Once again the UNSW Smash Brothers Society Crew are open for challenges from other Smash university groups.
Unfortunately I won't be at Town and Sydney but I'm sure Phibzy, MC, Cunchy and such will be.

UNSW vs MELBOURNE UNI crew can defs happen!

We might have enough VIC attendance to rep for Vic vs. NSW too,
So far Atticus, Blaxxon and myself are confirmed (+ Cao??), if Redact or Dekar came down too, then it'd start to look pretty good :D

I will be looking for housing if I can arrange transport, but so far I've gotten literally 0 responses.

Just for reference Phibzy's house is literally a studio apartment so I doubt he can house many people, if anyone at all.
I know MC's place is pretty huge but I don't know if he's up for housing people over (parents and that).

I'm interested in signing up for this.

(Yes, as you can tell, I'm new here, joined specifically because of this thread!).

When do registrations open? I don't use Facebook so I hope that's not going to be a requirement to register.
