: I agree that the top 8 seeds should be allowed to decline. The rest of the field should be disqualified if they choose to decline, but the top 8 should be allowed to do as they wish since they earned the right to pick their ideal partner.

Hello All;

And the scenario gets worse still...let's say you are the #1 seed, and you know that teamed with someone way down the list (say #50) you are unbeatable. You also know that the only threat to your victory is the #2 seed...so you pick the #2 seed, your ideal partner (#50), and then you play with #50 while #2 sits out.

Not much fun, nor very fair, for the #2 seed, now is it? But it's perfectly legal under the rules, and it IS a VERY viable strategy.
