Interesting fact about Party shootouts and round 2+ reseeding

[justT]

Good info, I hadn't noticed they were "seeding". It actually looks like a reasonable way of doing it, probably as good as any other way. Notice that the total number of chips at a table should be similar from table to table. If they did it randomly, there would be "chip rich" and "chip poor" tables, which creates a different set of problems (or different set of advantages for big stacks).
