so tell me if i have rthis correct -
8 pools
16 seeds
2 seeds per pool...
an extreamly predictable top 16? theres always a chance people like me will get unlucky with a totaly outmatched fuzzy/prof/va, but all in all shouldent it be toootaly random?
then again, it does mean (provided ben deems me good enough to be a seed, difficult as he hasnt seen me play good people and this is my 1st national) ill definatly make it into brackets, and will have a fairly good idea of how my next opponent plays.
so lets say pools of 8 ideally, this means that the top 4 go through? its kinda unfair, its like if 2 sweet a$$ players are seeding, and only the top 3 go through there is effectively only 1 place for the others to take. even if its top 4, that makes 2 spots up for grabs outta the lesser 6 =/
or lets say i end up not seeding, that means that 1 group in particular - prolly 1 o r 2 more only have ONE / ZERO places.
this is how i see it, perhaps sum1 could outline the good points of seedng or maybe i got it all wrong. IMO no1 cares if prof/fuzzy get knocked out before brackets (not that its even an opotion), wud make for a far less predictable tourney. aahhh, then on the other side u have swag players like tamoos crew (minus tamoo) getting through to brackets.. do i understand? u tell me!
