Fixtures in Knock-out Tournament
In a knock-out tournament, the fixtures are drawn
Seeding is a procedure by which good teams are placed in fixtures in such a way that stronger teams do not meet each other at the very stan of a tournament. It is done to overcome the drawbacks of a single knock-out tournament. Seeding can be done only if the standards of the teams are known before the start of the tournament. The draw may result between the strong competitors at early level competition, so they are 'seeded' to prevent this. Thus, the top competitors will not meet until the quarter final, semi final or final round.
Seeding is used to ensure that players or teams of recognised outstanding ability do not confront each other in the early rounds. It represents the tournament committee's subjective rating of the various players, and chances of winning the tournament.
Special Seeding
It is a method of seeding in which the players or teams directly participate in the quarter final or semi-final matches thus avoiding their participation in the initial rounds.
Bye means the avoiding of playing a match in the first round of the tournament. It is a privilege given to a team which is decided generally by seeding it or by draw of lots. Some teams may get bye in first round, by which they get promoted to higher round competition.
