My Picks for the World Mind Games Contest

Hi Linda,
How do you decide who will play against who in Round of 16 and onward? Is it the format that top 4 from each group will be seeded for the KO phase and play 1-16, 2-15, etc? If so, is it the number of VP from the group stage to be a determining factor for seeding?
Thanks
