1) Gets one more player involved from the squad 2) You want to place #1, for all you know you might get a bye in the first round (meaning you dont duel and you automatically get a p!@#$%^&*) 3) If you do poorly in seeding, you get a bed seeding, meaning you have the hardest time 4) If you do great in seeding, you get a good seeding, meaning you have the easiest time 5) With a lack of any relevant data to interpret, since pub stats is based generally on flagging no centering, this is the overall best way to do it 6) If we use a number generator, who's to say I didnt fake it and just put whoever I wanted to put? 7) Virtually every sport uses some kind of seeding when it becomes a tournament style bracket (Take a look at all playoff formats) You fight for what you want in the seeding match, it's not like I'm forcing it onto you 9) If this isnt fair, why is it done so much?
