Maybe, (just as a thought) separate the divisions of the bracket so lower leagues arent vsing GM's in the first rounds and it will also make it a bit harder for GM's to advance. Some people may dislike they idea, but as i stated it was just a thought

I'll be the first to admit seeding wasn't even remotely organised in 2012 (except for the final one where I individually seeded).

Seeding is something I will be standardising in 2013 to make it as fair as possible. The idea of the seeding is to have the top 16 vs each other as late as possible into the tournament. As a result they will vs lower seeded players, likely knocking them out until the top 16 has to vs each other.

Seeding lower vs lower and higher vs higher would be better off having two separate events. Due to BSGs and GPDs there are already tournaments which are better suited to cater for this and the people running them do an excellent job!

The thing that has me feel like I am making a difference with lower leagues still is by the feedback I get sometimes when I talk with people.

Comments such as "I made Round of 16 in wT Weekly for first time this week!" has me feel like lower league players can use wT Weekly as a rough showing of where they are at in their development. Although they may never have a chance at the moment in winning, they can see how far they get each week as a weekly training opportunity. It also allows them to play against better players which could give insight into new strategies/execution etc.

I personally don't want to have to deal with a BSG tournament because I know how much effort has to go into avoiding smurfing and I don't really have the time (or the patience) to deal with that

Feel free to provide ideas for how to get the best of both worlds though!
