Roberto Silva: Yes, that is why Byes are often seeded in Tournaments, the higher rated seed normally go through

As in football, the Top Teams normally do not have to qualify, Golf, the Masters, Top seeds do not have to qualify, it is common place in the world of Sport Competitions.

On BrainKing i do not think seeding (even done by BKR) is fair though, and it probably would have to be just Random, but at least EVERYONE gets to play.

Anyway, if i dont make it a Private Tournament, i will give up on the idea & will award the Prizes elsewhere. People here are all to happy to look backwards, not forwards

Its such a shame, i have just been asked by someone that if they get a life membership, could we use the 10,000 BKR points as Prizes and Memberships.

Well, we know the answer to that now....do not bother
