A thought RE-predetermined group nominations for open bracket players - Say, top two players from open bracket pick the same group, that brings a lot of strength into the one group.. The issue is that players from the open bracket have a distinct advantage if they know the results of the group PLUS get to pick their group - why would you play in qualifiers under those conditions?!.. Anyway, if 1st and 2nd from open bracket pick the same group, thats not great for anyone. Solution? - offer top 4 open bracket seeds the option to opt down to their 2nd or even 3rd preference for a group.
