The number of seed players is still uncertain. There may be different seed players in different competitions. For example, there are generally 32 seeded players in a tennis grand slam, and the average competition may only be 16. There are only eight football World Cups.
Seed players or teams have no rights and obligations, but they have some advantages. The biggest advantage is that you don't have to play the preliminaries, and sometimes you may have a bye in the first round. You know, games are accidental. The more you play, the easier it is to have an accident. Needless to say, you can play one or two less games.
