Many people came up to us talking about how 1732 "screwed" us and 330 over. My response to them was very simple, "we screwed ourselves by not seeding #1".

The serpentine draft already penalizes the #1 seed enough, there's no need to jump on them for executing a savvy strategy.
Totally agree, I see it as strategy.
