Hello guys,
I'm doing some tests to see the Seed Order and I have a doubt:
Here is my dataset that I'm testing:

export const dataset8: Dataset = {
  title: 'Test',
  type: 'single_elimination',
  groupType: 'winner_bracket',
  roster: [
    { id: 7, name: 'Player 1' },
    { id: 55, name: 'Player 2' },
    { id: 53, name: 'Player 3' },
    { id: 56, name: 'Player 4' },
    { id: 57, name: 'Player 5' },
    { id: 58, name: 'Player 6' },
    { id: 59, name: 'Player 7' },
    { id: 60, name: 'Player 8' },
    { id: 61, name: 'Player 9' },
    { id: 62, name: 'Player 10' },
    { id: 63, name: 'Player 11' },
    { id: 64, name: 'Player 12' },
    { id: 65, name: 'Player 13' },
    { id: 66, name: 'Player 14' },
    { id: 67, name: 'Player 15' },
    { id: 68, name: 'Player 16' },
    { id: 69, name: 'Player 17' },
    { id: 70, name: 'Player 18' },
    { id: 71, name: 'Player 19' },
    { id: 72, name: 'Player 20' },
    { id: 73, name: 'Player 21' },
    { id: 74, name: 'Player 22' },
    { id: 75, name: 'Player 23' },
    { id: 76, name: 'Player 24' },
    { id: 77, name: 'Player 25' },
    { id: 78, name: 'Player 26' },
    { id: 79, name: 'Player 27' },
    { id: 80, name: 'Player 28' },
    { id: 81, name: 'Player 29' },
    { id: 82, name: 'Player 30' },
    { id: 83, name: 'Player 31' },
    { id: 84, name: 'Player 32' },
    // { id: 85, name: 'Player 33' },
    // { id: 86, name: 'Player 34' },
    // { id: 87, name: 'Player 35' },
    // { id: 88, name: 'Player 36' },
    // { id: 89, name: 'Player 37' },
    // { id: 90, name: 'Player 38' },
    // { id: 91, name: 'Player 39' },
    // { id: 92, name: 'Player 40' },
    // { id: 93, name: 'Player 41' },
    // { id: 94, name: 'Player 42' },
    // { id: 95, name: 'Player 43' },
    // { id: 96, name: 'Player 44' },
    // { id: 97, name: 'Player 45' },
    // { id: 98, name: 'Player 46' },
    // { id: 99, name: 'Player 47' },
    // { id: 100, name: 'Player 48' },
  ],
};

On my real scenario it will come from a Ranking database ordering by points, so the Player top 1 of the ranking will be the first on the Bracket which is working, for the tournament to be more competitive, Player 2 should be in the second block to avoid conflict with the first in the ranking at the beginning, if I make a bracket of 16 players this works, if there are more, it doesn't.

Example 16 Players:
As you can see the Player 1 and Player 2 will match only in the finals:

Example 32 Players:
In this case they will match on the quarters.

My code to seed:

await manager.create({
  name: dataset.title,
  tournamentId: 1,
  type: dataset.type,
  seeding: dataset.roster.map((player) => player.name),
  settings: {
    groupCount: 2,
    seedOrdering: ['inner_outer'],
    // roundRobinMode: 'simple',
    size: getNearestPowerOfTwo(dataset.roster.length),
  },
});

Am I doing something wrong here?

Really appreciate your help.

Thank you!
