Peepy seems to have vanished so I'm not sure when we're playing

It depends on how you are running your event. I don't think you reseed the brackets. It's not rounds of swiss, it's a top 8 single-elim now.

It's your event though. Not even the NHL does that and they've gotten mighty peculiar with their new seeding rules of home ice advantage.

You're putting up the most money, so you should really pick. I don't mind if I get an unfavourable match up. It's all good, for real.

2) Tournament Format - This tournament will use a five-round Swiss-Style pairing system with a cut to the Top 8 players. Those players will then play single elimination rounds until a winner has been decided. All matches are a best of three with the exception of the final round, which is a best of five.

Sometimes the remaining competitors in a single-elimination tournament will be "re-seeded" so that the highest surviving seed is made to play the lowest surviving seed in the next round, the second-highest plays the second-lowest, etc. This may be done after each round, or only at selected intervals. In American team sports, for example, the NFL employs this tactic, but the NBA does not (and neither does the NCAA college basketball tournament). MLB does not have enough teams (10) in its playoff tournament where re-seeding would make a large difference in the matchups; (The NFL is at the minimum, which is six from each conference (or league in MLB) for a total of 12). The NBA's format calls for the winner of the first-round series between the first and eighth seeds (within each of the two conferences the league has) to face the winner of the first-round series between the fourth and fifth seeds in the next round, even if one or more of the top three seeds had been upset in their first-round series; critics have claimed that this gives a team fighting for the fifth and sixth seeding positions near the end of the regular season an incentive to tank (deliberately lose) games, so as to finish sixth and thus avoid a possible matchup with the top seed until one round later.

I know CGB will be streaming, advanced notice shall be given.
