I'm wondering whether one should seed the engines when entering them in the draw for a knockout or if the engines should be listed as if pulled out of a hat. For this tournament I originally entered them all alphabetically and then made some changes after the tournament was created which of course messed up the alphabetical order! Regards, Graham.
