I am guessing they place the 1-4 seeds in their usual spots, then flip top and bottom for the remainder of the seeds

#1 seed goes on line 1 & #2 goes on line 128 at the bottom of the draw. #3 & #4 are drawn from a cup (hence the term "draw"). The first drawn goes on line 33 and the other on line 96, so the top 4 won't meet until the semifinals and the top 2 in the finals.

5-8 are drawn and go on lines 32, 64, 65, and 97…and so on for the rest of the seeds in groups of 4. So the seeds are split, but it's pretty random.
