Suboptimal pairings in Magic Companion for hosted event
I hosted an 8-player draft event last week, and the round 3 pairings did not match up the two players with 0-2 records, instead pairing them each against a player with a 1-1 record.
In the attached images below, Jeff and Gage already played against each other, so they could not be paired up in round 3; however, it would have been valid for Jeff and Cheryl to play each other, as well as Katie and Gage. This would have allowed Matt and Julia (both with 0 wins) to play each other, for a balanced final round. However, the app chose to do different pairings that were very unbalanced.
