I guess the potential concern is that the 128 slots could arugably be filled by a lot of BSGs if they were really quick given their is no league restriction alike MC. Especially when I put this on TL.
What are your thoughts on restricting Major signups to Masters unless your points in SEA Power Points/wT Player Points qualify you for a Top 32 slot?

I think it depends what you want your event to be. Do you want it to be ultra competitive and try to draw a lot of international talent into the scene, or do you want to reward the players who have shown you loyalty already by competing in previous smaller wt weeklies, and have accumulated points and reward them for it by giving them guaranteed spots. If you want it to be ultra competitive with the better international players then limiting it masters+x amount of SEA/wt points is fine. I think having the Seeded people replace existing BSGPD players who have signed up combats this problem enough. Chances are a masters player isnt going to win or perhaps even come top 16, but if theres pretty good odds the top 32 wt points players will come top 32 or top 16 or top 8 in this event, so rewarding them with guaranteed spot if they wish to participate should be ok. As for the other players who miss out, just bad luck I guess and should have signed up sooner!
