Tournament Seeding

[Staco]

How should the seeding of a bracket be done?


Should aspects such as region, crew, teammate etc. be considered?

Should there be differences between a regional, national and international tourney?

Is the skilllevel more or less important than the aspects mentioned above?

Shall people who allready played each other often in tourney be moved so that they don´t have to play in the first rounds of the bracket?

Shall aspects such as regions, teammates etc. count for all players or just for the players, which have got the highest skillseedings?

Should there be left a random factor at the tourney bracket or should it be made mostly manual?


Feel free to discuss.

This is about how tournaments are run, not about Data or Rulesets. I'm moving this to the Tournament Discussion.

Ah, okay. I wasn´t sure where I have to post this, since there is a thread about No Splitting in the Brawl discussion, but also in the tournament discussion, so I thought both subforums are okay for it.
Choose the first one, cause Im usually never posting here.

There will be high seeds and low seeds. In the first round of the bracket, you make that high seends get matched up against low seeds. If there is no pools, you determine if the seed is high by their rank, past tournament resukts or skill, and low seed if you've either never heard of them or if they have bad tournament record. If there are pools, the winners of the pools get the first, the runner up gets second seed, and the ones who barely won get third seed and so on. Then, first seeds fight last seedsm, and the middle seeds fight each other. This is priority, the skill seeding. You should also seperate by region WHILE still keeping seeding in mind. This is not always possible, but you should try anyway.

I'm gonna start hosting monthly tournaments, and for those i will assign people ratings (similar to chess' provisional ratings), and seed in the following method:
1st: rating
2nd: crew
3rd: location (probably won't get anyone outside of torrance tho)

Skill is the most important aspect. Then you want to make sure that nobody that played in pools have to play each other in the first two rounds of winners. Then you want to make sure that no two people from the same close region (whether it be city, state, car group, crew, this is dependent on the tournament) play each other in the first two rounds of winners. There are other things that some people like to manage, such as separating doubles partners from each other, so they don't have to play, not making two people that play each other often play early in the bracket, stuff like that.

Skill is the number 1 thing above all else

Then split apart players due to a location aspect, since it's always better for players to get to play people they normally dont get to play

Then split by crew and such somewhat

Go down that order and make sure one option doesn't effect the criteria above it, unless it's very minor.

We now have amateur brackets btw.
