david, the result zone seedings, as you have said should only be a guide. a badly seeded competition would be a disaster. for what it's worth here is my top 10: 1 Gregor Newton 2 Peter Buchan 3 Boyd Kydd 4 Chris Beck 5 Mark James 6 Louis Morrill 7 Joe Ghaemi 8 Adam Robertson 9 Lewis Honeyman 10 Bruce Smith can i suggest others post their seedings; that might help you to build a balanced picture...

I am just about finished going through the court schedule. For the Mens' (no ladies have entered this year) the provisional schedule is:
Qualifying: Friday 1800-2100 (Involves everyone except Gregor Newton, Boyd Kydd, Adam Robertson, Peter Buchan, Joe Ghaemi, Tom Adamas, Chris Beck, Matthew Hayes-Reekie)
Chris Beck v Matthew Hayes-Reekie will play their qualifier on Saturday 1000
Cup 1st Round: Saturday 1000-1200
Plate 1st Round: Saturday 1230-1400
Cup 1/4 Finals: Saturday 1440-1520
Plate 1/4 Finals: Saturday 1520-1600
Plate Semi-Finals: Sunday 1000
Cup Semi-Finals: Sunday 1120
Plate Final: 1400
Cup Final: 1500
Obviously we cannot tell any individual player exactly when their matches will be because it depends on the match results whether they enter Cup/Plate and how far they get in either.
There should also be time for extra Play-Offs, probably on Sunday between the semis and finals. My proposed format means everyone is guaranteed 3 scheduled matches (except the top 6 seeds who could have only 2 if they lose their 2nd match), plus the opportunity for play-offs, if court time allows.

Thanks Matt.
I would agree it's a good idea to have Peter face-off one of his teammates in the 1/4, which will give them the opportunity to 'officially' confirm/refute the rankings (and their team play order!). So I have raised Peter to 2 as you suggest, and already had Louis only 1 place different anyway.
I don't think the differences lower down will make too much difference - all those players have plenty of stats fed into RZ so I am inclined to trust it for the most part.
Sadly I don't have time to wait for lots of feedback & suggestions so we will need to run with what I have, namely:
1 Gregor Newton 2 Peter Buchan 3 Boyd Kydd 4 Adam Robertson 5 Tom Adams 6 Joe Ghaemi 7 Louis Morrill 8 Chris Beck 9 Lewis Honeyman 10 Bruce Smith 11 Mark James 12 David Brown Jr 13 Martin Watkins 14 Ken Daly 15 Graeme Patullo 16 Dave Williams
This uses the RZ rankings with the exception of Peter and Louis who I adjusted up, in Peter's case significantly to account for a lack of recent results and in Louis' case to account for recent form and the T&G play order. I think there's very little between those guys around 2400-2450 so hopefully not as crucial if they aren't quite right.
I will find a way to feed the results of this event into RZ which should help for next time.

For what it's worth and watching and playing with a few of these guys every week seedlings look pretty good to me and there will always be differences of opinion. Looks good and looking forward to the weekend Ross

I have made a new thread for the draw: www.tfsra.proboards.com/thread/21/Please feel free to continue the discussion there, but I have locked this thread to avoid having 2 threads on the same topic.
