It's not something I feel will eventuate to any great degree. The WBSS has alternates, but as we saw they are well below an acceptable level. I saw Holyfields 147 tournament had a couple of fan voted alternates for the comp. I never saw any voting polls for any of the seeding btw. Seemed a good idea. Fans voted the top 8 seeds and the 2 alternates. I know these guys are a level below the top contenders but so egos aren't really an issue, but if we got regular WBSS type tourny's, decent alternates may become a mainstay.
