How does seeding work?
Based on recent 2k times as submitted by the competitors, whenever possible the 16 fastest competitors are placed in the front bank of ergs. The next 32 (17-48) times would be arranged on two adjacent same-side banks of ergs, and the next 32 (49-80) times would be arranged on the opposite two adjacent same-side banks of ergs. In events with fewer entries, competitors will be arranged on adjacent ergs within a bank or more of ergs. Seeding is set up in a chevron formation with the faster competitors in the center.
