Also if we take the average rating of a program, then crafty would get seeded last which is not fair. If we take the highest rating a program has, then playing there with a couple of hundreds of accounts using your prog would be an unfair advantage. Yet seeding is important for SOP if you plan to get in the top 10 at least. Easiest seeding is to follow the world titles first then the commercials and then the amateurs. As many products get sold with crafty and a lot of effort has been put into crafty, also it has won cct1, there is a good reason to seed it high! Best regards, Vincent
