Yeah, that was pretty much what I was trying to get at.

So how come every Region 8 Champion without a previous medal gets the number one seed in the Quarter Finals? Could the regions not rotate through for that position or something (i.e. Region 1 is there at 103 and 140, Region 2 is there at 112 and 145, etc). If they are seeded then they wouldn't have to be placed there, but otherwise every region could have an equal share of eighth seed instead of one region getting it every time.
