Subject: elimination-tourneys seedings...
well, the best-rated players meet very soon in the elimination-tourneys. e.g. the best rated will meet the second best rated in the second round (if they both win their first match). as we all know from tennis and other sports, normally the first seeded is placed on the top, the second seeded at the bottom, third seeded at the top of the bottom half, fourth seeded at the bottom of the top half and so on...

could this be possible in order to "honour" the best seeded ones and to make a big final between them a little more possible??

diogenes: Do the seeded players always meet early here, or is it at least random?

grenv: as far as i know its always the same system that defines who is playing against who, so always 1 vs 2 in the 2nd round.

anyway, your suggestion behind that question is right: it should be at least randomly seeded and not necessarily like i mentioned it before!

diogenes: actually... it is [or should be], very similar to the way "Super Size HYPER Elimination---volume 1 (Hyper Backgammon)" was set up in the first round...
players are seeded as ranked... highest bkr to lowest- unrated [with unrated playing each other]
split the field in half with number one playing the best of the worst...
in the second round winners [unrated players are given provisional] are ranked above draws- split the field... etcetera... 'random' invites criticism... order begats order;]

How about if there was a new "re-seeding" in every round, using the same system that in first round

All:

I vote for 4 systems (chosen by organizer)

1.Random each round
2.Random, but brackets known at the start
3.Seeded (1 vs 64, 2 vs 63 etc) Reseed each round based on current rating
4.Seeded, bracket known at start.

:)

grenv: All four are reasonable and good suggestions. I personally am happy with any system as long as their is a chance for 1 to meet 2 in the final round. In many games and sports, there is the 1-64, 2-63 and so on. In chess there is the 1-33, 2-34 and so on. And in a game like tennis, there is no set pairing except that the top two can't meet until the final, the top four can't meet until the semis and so on.
