They either fill the bottom of the Elite or the Top of the Open, but how do they do both? they don't do both Ohm, Smart and Harms would probably round out the top 16 Goad, Thompson, Byrd,...

Seeding brackets by World Rankings

I'm looking for opinions on doing away with qualifying and going straight to bracket racing based on the competitors World Ranking (http://www.slalomranking.com).

I think used in combination with a "ladder bracket" that allows winners to move up to the next bracket, that it just might work.
