Yeah, there are quite a few contestants in this tournament, so unfortunately it isn't practical to have a winners/losers bracket kind of structure to keep lower-ranked players playing longer.

You see this kind of seeding structure all the time in professional competitions--the goal of the seeding, frankly, is to avoid the best players eliminating each other at an early stage of the competition, so you have to watch out for those Titans!
