What are seeds?

Seeds are an ID associated to a player to determine their position in the tournament. Typically, you want to assign the lowest seed (1/2/3/4) to the best players in your tournament. The bot will then ensure these players are kept away from each other so the tournament doesn’t have a terrible matchup, and a smoother experience.
If you want to put a specific player against another player (which isn’t highly recommended), you can by assigning seeds and using /preview to check.
By default, your tournament will have randomised seeds, you can check this and shuffle them again with /seeds
