in previous tournaments (when there were like 32 entrants cos it was a 1v1 tournament) there would be a poll of who's the best player and then they would be split up
so the favourites would be apart from each other on the bracket, then they would come together in the semi-finals and finals
not much point doing that with only 8 participants
but say the 8th team is destroyer and renebad, then frankly we may as well do the bracket in order of signup, it looks ok
