'''Seeding''' is the act of arranging players in a tournament bracket, usually to equalize both or all sides of the bracket in terms of skill, and so that the best players do not face each other until later rounds. The name comes from the fact that a seed may either grow into the top-notch plant (i.e. the best player) or wither away (i.e. elimination). For example, in the first round of a perfectly seeded 8-player bracket, the best player, #1, competes with the worst player, #8. #2 competes with #7, #3 competes with #6, and #4 competes with #5.

Seeding is the act of arranging players in a tournament bracket, usually to equalize both or all sides of the bracket in terms of skill, and so that the best players do not face each other until later rounds. The name comes from the fact that a seed may either grow into the top-notch plant (i.e. the best player) or wither away (i.e. elimination). For example, in the first round of a perfectly seeded 8-player bracket, the best player, #1, competes with the worst player, #8. #2 competes with #7, #3 competes with #6, and #4 competes with #5.
