I guess it doesn't really matter what they're seeded, but will players from open bracket just be seeded 17th-24th and slotted in? Only reason I ask is some people might advocate that the winner of the open bracket should be seeded higher than joe shmoe who finished 15th overall from the two qualifiers. In any case, transparency is always a good thing

No, Joe Schmoe played the qualifiers and shouldn't be penalised because he is Joe Schmoe. The guys in the open bracket should have played the qualifiers if they wanted a higher seed. In a perfect world, the best 16 players make it into groups and the others that come through the open bracket are the Joe Schmoe up-coming players. Have to be objective and set clear seeding rather than saying... Well 16th seed in groups isn't as good as sikkunt that won open bracket.. sikkunt should have played the fkn qualifiers if they wanted a better seed.
