=== Seeds ===
== Summary ==
The seeding system is designed to ensure that the top-ranked players are distributed throughout the tournament bracket, preventing early matchups between the highest-rated competitors. The top 8 players are considered the most likely to win based on their past performances, rankings, and recent tournament results. However, they are not guaranteed victory and can still be eliminated by lower-ranked or unseeded players. Other competitors, who are not seeded, will be placed into the tournament draw and could face any of the top seeds in the early rounds. This structure maintains a balanced competition while rewarding players who have demonstrated consistency and success in previous events.
