Seeding is the act of arranging players in a tournament bracket, usually to equalize both/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 an 8-player tournament, 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/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 an 8-player tournament, the best player, #1, competes with the worst player, #8. #2 competes with #7, #3 competes with #6, and #4 competes with #5.
