Two drawbacks with your suggestions (sorry to add to the long-winded responses, but they still stand...)
1) Seeding is a pain to do often - I'm not going to do it any more than annually, so it would have to rotate round players.
2) Seeding for international tournaments needs to be done at least three months in advance (this isn't a massive issue as it's only once a year for the Euros), and I'd say even for local tournaments it needs to be done a month inadvance so people can organise time off work. Realistically we'd be seeding every month at least during the summer.
Still don't see that there's a middle-way... Both systems have drawbacks, combining the two only makes things more complicated.
I reckon we should try the free-for-all approach for the next 6 months, see how that goes... (Dammit, already voted to keep seeding)
