seeding
Ranking tournament players
Seeding is the process of planting seeds or distributing something that will grow or spread.
Athletes and teams are seeded when ranked for tournament brackets: The top seed drew a tough opponent in the second round.
In computing, seeding means providing initial data to a system or sharing files in peer-to-peer networks: Keep seeding after your download finishes.
