We're in the downstairs / bowling alley function room. Any staff should be able to help you if you ask for "Sydney Smash" or anything "game tournament" related.
Sydney Smash - Home of the Boost Tournament Series<hr size="1" style="color:; background-color:" />Boost tournaments are held in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, and is the New South Wales region's most regular tournament. It's attendees hail from all across NSW; including the Hunter Valley (Newcastle), A.C.T (Canberra) and that dark place west of me (sometimes known as tedeth land). We also regularly attract out of state attendees from Victoria, Queensland and South Australia. Our brawl scene is probably the most competitive in the country, and our melee scene is growing stronger alongside it. If you want to meet new people (who I can assure you are mostly all awesome) and/or get better at smash (by playing said people), becoming apart of our scene may be one of the most fun and fulfilling hobbies you've ever had!
A lot of our tournament videos are recorded and uploaded to youtube. If you want to see videos of us play:
My youtube channel (lots of brawl videos/some melee) S.D's youtube channel (all the melee vids!)
Our events are held at a bowling alley, which as apart of giving us the venue (and setting up/cleaning it) for such a low price expect us to buy food/drinks there. The venue management won't allow us to continue to use the venue if people bring in outside food/drink.

Train
Mascot train station is located on Bourke Road (left side of map). It is about 10 minutes walk to the venue. The train is on the airport line and travels through the city and many other locations. It is regularly arriving every 15 minutes. However as the station is privately owned, there is a larger than normal surcharge for the station.
Buses
There are an abundance of different bus routes that come within walking distance from the venue. To find further information on routes, please look at www.131500.info
Also for those wishing to reduce costs, taking a bus from the city in the morning will allow you to avoid the extra surcharge on train tickets to Mascot. After 5-6pm on Sunday, Mascot Train Station will have their gates open (P.S. Have an already valid return train ticket so you can get out in the city/elsewhere; you don't want to get done in for fare evasion).
In terms of walking distance after disembarking from your mode of transport:

Hi, and welcome. I'm commonly known as Shaya or "JP" to those in the scene. I'm 20 and am studying Engineering at the University of New South Wales. I've been running smash tournaments since September 2008. Feel free to email/add me on msn (kingshaya@gmail.com) any questions you may have (please introduce yourself/tell me who you are when we talk!). If you need to get into contact with me on the day of a tournament (lost or something) call me on 0425 290 330.
Our scene consists of people from the ages of 15 studying in High School, up to those in their mid twenties either working or continuing their studies themselves. Often "younger brothers" will come along who are too young for me to tell (lol)! And as already implied our locations we're travelling from are from throughout NSW and ACT - to give you an idea of our demographics. Either way, we're mostly all of the same age group, and you'll most likely find people of your age at attendance. If you have parents who are worried about things and are hesitant to let you come to these events, I am very happy to talk to them for you to ease their fears.
If my tournaments are one of the first you're going to (new to the scene or not) please make sure you introduce yourself to me and others! The best thing you can do is get to know as many people as possible! When you arrive, find me, and I'll point you in the right direction to get started, so don't be shy . Chances are there may be someone who is your age and/or lives near you who shares your passion for the game!
Please bring your own controller when coming to the tournament! Whether that be a gamecube one or a wii mote gizmo. If you're able to bring equipment (Televisions and Consoles [Wii/Gamecubes] with brawl/melee) that would be VERY appreciated. Every set up we have is brought in from someone in the scene themselves, and this patronage is required for our tournaments to run successfully!
Our melee tournaments are run by Sam (S.D) who you can feel free to email/talk to on msn as well (fishmister_49@hotmail.com). He is generally the goto guy for anything melee question related.
