It seems that when two tourney go at the same time the system may occur technical errors.
And for meeting you at round 1.. yeah I agree that there should be alternative ways to make brackets or seed players based on ELO.
But one potential concern is that it may result in "same guys winning over and over" more. Not sure how other players would feel about this.

Your concern is very valid, as @theaustrianguy agrees with you and I guess many other players as well. However, I will continue to argue my case. Because as in Starcraft (Broodwar) and Starcraft 2, which are based on ELO, the best should play against each other. That was one of the reasons why Broodwar was so successful in Korea. It was an absolute SKILLED game that was incredibly hard to master.
I don‘t agree any more :)
