I was able to help Twitch.tv establish a "team page" for Smash streamers! This page will serve as a great hub for smash streaming. If you are part of the group you will be advertised on the left side of the page, and online streamers will have their streams on the front (only one at a time). The more popular channels like mine will also help newer channels to grow because we will all be centered here.
There are loads of cool features, for example you can follow every smash bros channel with one click, which will help out all of us!
They made me the editor/admin of the group so all you have to do is PM me your livestream channel name (do not need full URL) and I will add you to the group! I have not been able to design the page or anything yet, but I have plans for that very soon as well.

This is a huge chance for us!
I am also always available to help any of you increase your stream quality and framerate, be sure to just message me and I will be able to help you out!
EDIT: I think I will have all Smash games on the channel instead of just Melee. Feel free to discuss.
EDIT2: I would love to post this in the new livestream forum, but I have been denied access to any streaming privileges on smashboards.com without any warning.
UPDATE: I already have 18 channels on the page, and a design on the way.
Another issue is streamers streaming other games. I think that in the interest of freedom and community, people should be allowed to stream whatever games they want even once they get added. However, I can choose "featured channels" that will always show up on the page if they are online. Based on frequency of play and frequency of playing smash in particular, channels will be ranked here. So in conclusion, everyone on the channel won't always be playing smash, but they are all smash streamers in general, and streaming smash in good quality (both video and play quality) will get you ranked higher and show up on the front page more often! (For example I moved myself down a few notches because I don't have a TV and can only stream Starcraft 2, so if the other guys are streaming at the same time as me, they will show on the page automatically.) This ranking system should be a solid motivator for every streamer!
I can also add up to 10 twitch vods for the frontpage, I have just added some of the best stuff from my stream, but I will include other good vods from other streamers!
If you are holding an event and want to be promoted to the front page for a day, let me know and I will feature you for the length of the tournament! This will make your stream play automatically as soon as someone opens the page!
