Now that we have the Global Team ranking, I suggest we use it to seed the GLB league tournaments. Any sort of seeding would be better than the current random seeding. By using the global ranking system to seed teams, it accomplished two different things.
1. Separates the best teams in an age group, at least to a first degree, from meeting up in the early rounds. Nobody wants to see two of the best teams in an age group have to face in the first round, with the winner facing the next best team in the 2nd round, while the opposite side of the bracket is filled with a good team and a bunch of lower level teams.
2. Allows the Global Ranking system to actually be used for something. While it's nice to compare our teams against one another, that's really all the ranking system is doing now.
It should be really easy to implement, and while I understand it's too late to do anything about the brackets this season, it would be a welcomed addition to future tournaments.
