Participants

SEAT (South Eastern Australia Tournament) was the first in a series of tournaments, post @M, that attempted to solidify the Melbourne Smash Community, at a time the community was highly embraced. The first installment of the SEAT series was held on the 22nd of September, 2005 and broke the previous attendance record set by @M. It was held at the Kingston Arts Centre in Moorabbin, south of Melbourne, Australia. Kupo easily won the tournament, unchallenged by runner up CATS.

Interesting facts

• A banner with a picture of Kupo was pinned on the wall with the slogan "To violence against n00bs, Australia says no." This was a mock of the advertising campaign that aired at the time about violence against women.
• A highlight of the SEAT series included smasher Yvette defeating well known players with Sheik's chain. Anfology was the first victim.
• SEAT was the first Australian tournament to make a genuine effort to deviate from traditional double elimination tournaments. It incorporated a unique manual randomization of several qualifying rounds, with the highest scorers advancing to a final.
