Answer

Ruling: For January summoner skirmishes, the top seed gets to choose first turn in top cut matches. This is a recent change while tournament rules are being updated.

Nuances:

  • The official rules documents say to do it randomly
  • Top cut is now optional for January summoner skirmishes
  • Tournament rules are currently being updated to reflect this change
