I'm honestly only doing this to encourage more people to play, as it's demoralising to open up the bracket and see yourself against X, Y or Z in round 1. I've already started compiling a spreadsheet of tournament results and average value, so I'm not phased by the task.

What if you establish and publish a big list of seeds down to like 32nd so we can see who would be where, and make that final? That way even though the actual rankings may be no more accurate than the prizemoney method there is maximum transparency and it gives some of the top seeds motivation to sign up! You could talk to peers about any specific ranks that are tricky to make a call on.

Also it will be fun to follow the brackets and work out who the seeds will be
