Check European football (soccer) national cups, you won't find an example for your idea. There are no seedings, but kind of a lottery system.

I never support any idea that would make strong teams even stronger. I think current system is pretty good, letting weaker teams having the chance to go further. Your idea would make things easier for stronger teams and a lot harder for weaker teams.

Don't feed the troll

I like the current system because it is unpredictable.

If you pretty much know your next match up,
if you want to make a run at the cup,
well your new player to buy will have good GS.

the current lottery sytem in national tournaments makes things interesting as the previous posts has shown, like 2 strong teams meeting right in the first round.

but i recommend that cash prizes be awarded also to losing teams if they reach at least the 4th round of the national tournament. heck they beat 3 opponents already and that is a great achievement especially for a division 3 or 4 human team. thus if they reach the 4th round and lose they can still get some consolation cash for their good tournament run

I like the current system because you could be lucky or unlucky.
You can't just predict when you get knocked out.
