Track does not do a very good job separating wrestlers based on the rankings A,B,C,D or 1,2,3,4. It is used to separate wrestlers not seed wrestlers.
Track separates based off of Teams first then if separation criteria is used, it keeps 1's away from 1's - 2's way from 2's, ect. It generally is only for first round bouts.
When I use Track for an Open Tournement, I ask for a ranking/skill level, then manually seed all the brackets to keep best wrestler apart and keep teams on opposite sides of the bracket. Not every bracket is seeded out to the 8th or 16th seed, just the first couple, then let track do it's best from there. Seeding is hard, most of the time you are just looking at the skill level and just have to trust how coaches enter the wrestlers ability.
Technical Track Stuff for other Track Admins:
In track I change the extra field to be skill level.
In Pre-Registration I require the Skill Level field.
In pre-registration I add an extra field ( skill level ) which asked for the ranking A,B,C,D. This has 3 fields associated to it... value, text, and order. I associate the value with A,B,C,D and order with 1,2,3,4. In the text field I add a description to label what I'm interpreting as a A wrestler ( A - State Qualifier / Placer ),(B - Generally Places ), ect.
When you import into the Track site from the Pre-Registration site you select 2 additional fields. 1) The Value field to the separation criteria. 2) the data field to the Skill Level field.
This gives you a very clear picture when you are looking at a weight class to seed your wrestlers.
I hope this helps more than it confuses.....
