They have totally messed up the seeds or I don’t understand that they are
doing. It’s like they have grouped them by 8 so each bracket has a World Series representative instead of being seed by first round region. I suppose the last half of the bracketed will have 3s and 6s and 4s and 5s?. ** Edited by nkhooch at 5/10/2026, 7:22:25 PM

They just made it like basketball for 1-8 seeds. We're outside the top 16,
so we're a 5 seed. Took me a second to realize what they were doing.

An "8 seed" in this context is a team in the 29-32 group.
A 7 seed is in the 25-28 group. And so on. 33-64 are unseeded. ** Edited by Raleigh Hokie at 5/10/2026, 7:22:00 PM
