I refer you to Tournament Rules 13 and 14.
"13. The initial pairing will have the top seed vs bottom seed, the second seed vs second from bottom etc. For example, in an eight-player event: (1) v (8), (2) v (7), (3) v (6), (4) v (5). The winner of (1) v (8) will then play the winner of (4) v (5) and the winner of (2) v (7) will play the winner of (3) v (6).

  1. Initial seeding is the average of a player’s rounded peak and rounded current rating when registrations close. Ties are broken by the higher current rating."
