  1. Seeding for this tournament will be as follows. This is a tournament of 64 players, 16 of which will be seeded. The draw is then completed as follows:
  2.  
  3. The 1st seed will be placed at the top of the top half of the draw.
  4. The 2nd seed will be placed at the bottom of the bottom half of the draw.
  5. The 3rd and 4th seeds will be drawn to either the bottom of the top half or the top of the bottom half.
  6. The 5th-8th seeds will be drawn in remaining gaps so they do not run into another seed in the first 3 rounds.
  7. The 9th-16th seeds will be drawn in remaining gaps so they do not run into another seed in the first 2 rounds.
  8. The remaining 48 competitors will be randomly assigned to the remaining gaps in the draw.
  9.  
  10. This system will allow the top 16 seeds to not face another seed in the first two rounds, not necessarily giving them the easiest possible path, but means these competitors should supposedly reach the 3rd Round (RO16). It also adds a bit of randomisation to the first few rounds, so some less skilled players may be matched up against players of equal skill, giving them a chance to progress a round or two. Not only this but it gives the chance for some upsets, for example; the 15th seed may be drawn against the 17th seed in the first round, leading to a potential upset. This system gives the 16 seeds the potential to make the 3rd Round, but also leads to some interesting early round matches so it's not all boring!

  12. Draws like this are used in many sports, and I have been a competitor in and organised draws such as this one shown. It works very well and varies the draws so they do not end up the same or extremely similar every single tournament.
