Another Rule change Proposal/idea

Ya know, its not like I'm going to be standing there, groin athrust, screaming "hit me", and "I got your aces right here" at him. I'll have a tennis racket, and I'll be swinging too, and hopping around. Whilst screaming other things.

On a more serious note, it just occurred to me that one of the reasons for seeding players in bigger sports is to achieve the 1 vs 2 finals, and the high seeded players playing each other in later rounds - for the benefit of television! This isnt the case in BG. There is no TV, there is no desire for everyone to watch #1 vs #2 in the finals, as opposed to #2 vs #29 - it is equally desirable to watch that instead. If you're watching and not playing in another event, or chou-ing, or making your way home early, or getting an early dinner in, or giving lessons, or countless other BG type activities.

The game as it is currently set up, is not suitable for seeding. Lets end this conversation right here right now.

PS: And I dont think I would be dumb enough to be looking for an additional 59 aces to the aces. The first one might be enough, especially at that speed. What is it, F=ma? What is the acceleration and mass of a tennis ball? Is the acceleration uniform? Isnt it slowing at the point of impact? How many Newtons are we talking about here? 200? 2000?
