Question

Who could be the lowest seeded player facing the player seeded 12 in the finals?

• A. 57
• B. 63
• C. 62
• D. 59
• E. 65

Hint:

The "Finals" always occur between the winner of the top half (Seeds 1–32) and the winner of the bottom half (Seeds 33–64).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyse options.
- The "lowest" seed is the player with the highest numerical rank (e.g., 64 is lower than 1). - Seed 12 is in one half of the bracket. Anyone from the *other* half can meet them in the finals. - In a 64-player field, Seed 64 is the lowest overall, but usually, Seed 2's side includes seeds like 63. - Option (e) 65 is impossible as there are only 64 players.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The lowest seeded player available in the other half of the bracket is Seed 63. Final Answer: (b) 63
