Pairwise Randomization
When the organizers pretend they're doing something smart, but really they're just shuffling numbers to avoid embarrassment.
They said 1 played 7 because 8 was 'a wild card' even though 8 had a 200% chance of losing.
They randomized the draw so 1 wouldn't be stuck with 2, who is a total beast.
They claimed it was pairwise randomization, but it was just the 8-year-old kid picking the numbers.
