Usually seeded in sport means the rank of the player in a competition, it is well known in Tennis especially, but here, it means "تأهل أوتوماتيكي", so that the high rank players go directly to the knock-out stage. So they can avoid any clashes between them.

This is a complex question If you are translating the whole paragraph, I suggest you approach this task strategically by thinking about all forms of the term "seed" in the context of sports, especially the passive verb "seeded," and not just the gerund "seeding." The reader needs to see that the different forms of the term "seed" refer to the same concept, even if they represent different parts of speech. For example, "players who are directly seeded" should be translated in a manner that obviously refers back to the paragraph title "Seedings and Draws." This will give your translation better consistency and clarity.

I also suggest that you post the term "draws" separately, so you can have a better chance of receiving correct answers. Otherwise, an answerer may hit one term and miss the other, which would make both grading and selecting rather complicated. You may like the suggested translation of one term, but not the other. It is always a good idea to post different terms separately.

Webster's defines a draw in sports as "the selection of competitors in a sports event" or "the arrangement of competitors in a sporting event by order drawn." In other words, it is not related to the drawing of lots.
