How a 16-team bracket is seeded

16 is a power of two, so the bracket is full: nobody gets a bye.

First-round games: 1 v 16, 8 v 9, 4 v 13, 5 v 12, 2 v 15, 7 v 10, 3 v 14, 6 v 11.

Seeds are placed so that 1 and 2 can only meet in the final. Enter the names strongest first, or press shuffle for a random draw.
