Most tournaments are set up where you get a benefit for seeding high. The #1 seed in pool A will play the #4 seed in pool B. #2 and #3 play each other. This set up makes logical sense to me, creating more even games later in the bracket by knocking the weaker teams out earlier.
There is one local director who does the opposite. High seeds play high seeds and low seeds play low seeds. It seems to result in weaker teams often staying in longer than stronger teams, because of getting to play other low level teams early in the bracket. I cannot figure out the logic behind this and thought I'd ask if anyone here knows. I could probably just ask him but I don't want to seem like I'm complaining. I'm not. I just don't understand the why, and I would like to.
