If the goal is to determine a winner tournament style, perhaps we should pre-seed based on people's perceptions of other players. This does tend to lead to the perception that you are a good player causing you to last longer (because you experience weaker opposition early on), but it also increases the likelihood of interesting late games (few weak players survive due to match-up luck, strong players are unlikely to meet early), and upsets can be startling and unpredictable.

I'd favor randomly choosing who meets who if one wants to change the proposed meeting order.
I am against putting (perceived) strong players against (percevied) weak players.
