I did the seeding myself. The whole thing was completely unprepared. As I said in the OP, I literally just went "oh, there's 64 tracks. Let's make a bracket out of them!"
So I did.
In other words, if the seeding is bad, blame me. If it's good, thank me. If it's somewhere in the middle, be ambivalent towards me. Or blame and thank me at the same time. Your choice.
On the bright side, tomorrow's matches will conclude round 1, and then we can get to some face-offs that are actually meaningful.
