Tournament Experiment

[Bearhugger]

Next season I would like to see a big tournament of 16+ brackets seed based on the wrestlers' last name.

Pick a letter out of a hat. Whatever letter is picked would be used as the "seeding" starting point. Seed all wrestlers based on their last name.

For example, if "J" is picked, then Jackson would be seeded higher than Jones. Work through in alphabetical order.

Since seeding doesn't matter and we want to take the human element out of it, then somebody give this a try.

The wrestlers will decide it on the mat.

So how would you know how your experiment worked, since you don't know how it would have turned out if you made the brackets based on some other criteria, unless you can always accurately predict every winner.

What if a kid has only one vowel in their last name ?
