I vote for no rejections. period.

There are many many fewer back room deals situations that can arise.

I liked the straight forwardness of the picking in this method.

Either the seeding means something or it does not. If it does, then those who seed higher should get the advantage of the seed. We all know that the seeding does not really always come out in exact order, but we all live with it. If we want to say that the seeding order really doesn't matter, then we should toss all the team that seeded above the XXX percentile in a hat and then pick them in random order. As each of the first 8 teams get their number pulled from the hat, they would pick their partner (from among ALL teams not already picked -- even folks in the hat). After 8 teams have picked, these 8 would get a second pick in random order pulled from the hat.

At least this method would acknowledge the luck factor in determining the seeding rankings.

Any thoughts?

Joe J.
