Random is still fair because double elimination!
No. good players should not be in the losers bracket that early when they're clearly better than most other players who will still be in winners at that point.

meh, this is still the fairest way to do it..

Im not going to say well...X is better then Y so lets put him here...and then W is better then Z so ...naw

Ill let the randomizer do its job until the second one, which will be seeded :)

Yes it is, but we dont have seeds for anyone, just players we personally think are better.

Those players will show them selves in this tournament!
It will probably take a few tournaments to get useful seeding info, since a best of three between any two players doesn't say much on its own. It's probably more accurate and useful to just go by well established reputation for a while, at least.

Really though, seeding isn't much of an issue when people aren't going to be viewing these matches and expecting a big finale.

Yeah, I can see them now.

I share the same bracket concerns that have already been mentioned, but as I have explained I don't think they really matter. Looks like we will be getting a feisty loser's bracket though.
