Seeding based on points in the FALL!?!

So, we played in a 14u tournament over this weekend where the bracket seeding was based off of USSSA points. Easy enough right? Well, more than half of the teams had no points!! This is the FALL. This was our first tournament. It seems to me that it would make more sense to simply do a blind draw. Now don't get me wrong. We will play whoever, whenever but our first bracket game was against the team that won the whole thing and it immediately bumped us into the loser's bracket. It was an absolute slugfest. But we ended up having to play 5 games on Sunday almost in a row. We got one break for one game all day Sunday. We were just gassed and ended up scrapping up a 4th place finish as a first year 14u team. Not bad for our first tourney. But again, it just seemed silly to me that the bracket was made based on points. An 0-4 team would have had a higher seed than us only because they had points. Am I being too picky or is this just the way it goes sometimes?
