Seeds
The Math Open was a men's singles-only tournament. Seedings are by race results of the 2017 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Originally Will Power, Ueli Kestenholz, Charlie Kimball, Wario, Venusaur, Graham Rahal, Mario Lopez, Carlos Muñoz were all unseeded due to their race results. The BATC Community decided that seedings were original due to the incorrectly predicted ones in the original version.

Trivia
- The releases of Earn Surattikan and Siriporn Umpaipong albums on March 30, and Tai Orathai's on April 7 will have a votes in jury and televote between Pee Saderd and Metagross for hogging Quizizz at St Pete.
- The winner will hog.
- Since Pee Saderd finished 7th at St Pete, compared to Metagross' 11th place result, Pee Saderd will hog the game.
- Due to Siriporn's 10th song on Choot Tee 17 containing explicit content, it is most likely that Pee Saderd will have to play his Math Open semifinal Friday at 6 PM PST.
- Also, IndyCar officials also black flagged Pee Saderd for the same reason.
- Also, this is Ueli Kestenholz's first non-snowboarding grand final.
- The Math Open finalists struggled at Long Beach, finishing in the last two spots.
