It's a massive interstate smash bros tournament that is being held at the Melbourne University and not only is it Australia's debut Brawl major tourney, it's being held in conjuction with Minifest (a prequel to Manifest and Couchwarriors)

HOW TO GET THERE

Where it is - Old Arts Hall, The University of Melbourne, Parkville
When it is - Saturday 26 April, 2008

Google Map Link and Directions: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...,0.080338&z=14

From either Flinders Street or Melbourne Central Train Stations, catch any Melbourne University bound Tram on Swanston Street. It will take you to the Melbourne University Tram Stop. Head west towards the University. What you'll encounter is an ordered mess of clustered buildings, but continue heading in a western direction and look for the Clock Tower Landmark. The Rambo venue is next to that tower.

REGISTRATION

Rambo will be held in conjunction with Couch Warriors Staff, CAOTIC, Strider and the Vengeance Crew.

Due to the Rambo event running alongside Minifest and Couch Warriors, registration and payment for this major must be handled differently this year.

*ALL MELBOURNE PLAYERS*
- Registration deadlines for all Melbourne players close on - April 19
- $15 payment (access to all Rambo Smash competitions) can be paid at the following Couch Warrior Ranbats at La Trobe University: March 22 and April 19.
- Failure to complete registration and payment before the deadline will deny you entry to Rambo's competitive events. There are absolutely no exceptions.

*ALL INTERSTATE PLAYERS*
- Registration deadlines for all Interstate players close on - April 19
- $15 payment (access of to Rambo Smash competitions) can be paid direct to myself before the 25th of April.
- Interstate players must sign up by confirming their travel details in this thread. Once I have received the travel details after April 19, I will send you further instructions on how to complete payment.
- Failure to complete registration and payment before the deadline will deny you entry to Rambo's competitive events. There are absolutely no exceptions.

You may be asking why the money is not handled on the day of the event. There are a number of reasons which are outlined as follows:
- Greater preparation and organisation of Rambo
- Greater control and player capping, especially at a public event like Minifest, which may attract a lot of casual interest. It will not be possible to accommodate for all entrants with the limited resources and time restrictions available.
- Any payments handled on site will inherently become the responsibility of the Manifest Committee, which creates undesirable administrative complications. We are advised to independently administer Rambo registrations and payments through Couch Warriors and not through Manifest.
- Casual setups will be set in place to accommodate for people who wish to play friendlies, yet are unable to enter the tournaments.

Basically you need to pay at a Couchwarriors event which the latest one being held on the 22nd of March

HOSTEL ACCOMODATION AND HOUSING

It is highly recommended that visitors stay at a hostel in the city. Anyone who has previously been to a Melbourne tournament before knows how spaced out everyone and everything was - Rambo aims to be completely centralised.
