Don’t read this post by accident. It’s just a data dump.
This is a list of every Swiss scoregroup in RLCS 2021-22 Fall Split that doesn’t follow the “highest seed vs lowest possible seed without rematches” pairing algorithm.
I’ll grade every round as correct, WTFBBQ (the basic “rank teams, highest-lowest” would have worked, but we got something else, or we got literally impossible pairing like two teams who started 1-0 playing in R3 mid, or the pairings are otherwise utter nonsense), pairwise swap fail (e.g if 1 has played 8, swapping to 1-7 and 2-8 would work, but we got something worse), and complicated fails for things that aren’t resolved with one or more independent pairwise swaps.
Everything is hand-checked through Liquipedia.
There’s one common pairwise error that keeps popping up, with 6 teams and the #2 and #5 (referred to as 7-10 and 10-13 error a few times) have played. Instead of leaving the 1-6 matchup alone and going to 2-4 and 3-5, they mess with the 1-6 and do 1-5, 2-6, 3-4. The higher seed has priority for being left alone, and EU, which uses a sheet and made no mistakes all split, handled this correctly in both Regional 2 Closed R5 and Regional 3 Closed R4 Low. EU is right. The 7-10 and 10-13 errors below are actual mistakes.
SAM Fall Split Scoregroup Pairing Mistakes:
Invitational Qualifier
Round 2 High, FUR should be playing the worst 3-2 (TIME), but is playing Ins instead. WTFBBQ
Round 2 Low, NBL (highest 2-3) should be playing the worst 0-3 (FNG), but isn’t. WTFBBQ
Round 3 Low, Seeding is (W, L, GD, initial seed, followed by opponents each round if relevant)
13 lvi 0 2 -3 3
14 vprs 0 2 -4 12
15 neo 0 2 -4 15
16 fng 0 2 -5 16
but pairings were LVI-NEO and VPRS-FNG. WTFBBQ
Round 4 high:
Seedings were (1 and 2 are the 3-0s that have qualified, not a bug, the order is correct- LOC is 2 (4) because it started 2-0)
3 ts 2 1 4 5 vprs time fur
4 loc 2 1 1 14 lvi tts era
5 nbl 2 1 4 4 time vprs ins
6 tts 2 1 2 11 elv loc kru
7 elv 2 1 1 6 tts lvi nva
8 time 2 1 0 13 nbl ts dre
TS and time can’t play again, but 3-7 and 4-8 (and 5-6) is fine. Pairwise Swap fail.
Round 4 Low:
9 nva 1 2 -1 7 kru era elv
10 dre 1 2 -1 9 ins fng time
11 ins 1 2 -4 8 dre fur nbl
12 kru 1 2 -4 10 nva neo tts
13 lvi 1 2 -2 3 loc elv neo
14 vprs 1 2 -3 12 ts nbl fng
All base pairings worked, but we got ins-lvi somehow. WTFBBQ
Round 5:
Seedings were:
ts 2 2 1 5 vprs time fur elv
time 2 2 -2 13 nbl ts dre tts
loc 2 2 -2 14 lvi tts era nbl
lvi 2 2 -1 3 loc elv neo ins
vprs 2 2 -1 12 ts nbl fng nva
kru 2 2 -2 10 nva neo tts dre
Loc-LVI is the only problem, but the pairwise swap to time-lvi and loc-vprs works fine. Instead we got ts-lvi. Pairwise swap fail (being generous).
4 WTFBBQ, 2 pairwise swap fails, 6 total.

Round 2 High has Kru-NEO and Round 2 Low has AC-QSHW which are both obviously wrong. WTFBBQ x2
Round 3 High
1 ts 2 0 6 1

11 bnd 1 1 0 11 ins naiz
12 emt7 1 1 0 12 nva nice
5-12 and 8-9 are problems, but the two pairwise swaps (11 for 12 and 10 for 9) work. Instead we got nva-bnd and then loc-ac for no apparent reason. Pairwise swap fail.
Round 3 Low:
qshw 0 2 -5 15
nice 0 2 -6 13
naiz 0 2 -6 14
prds 0 2 -6 16
and we got qshw-naiz. WTFBBQ.
R4 High:

ac 2 1 3 10 neo qshw loc
kru 2 1 0 2 qshw neo lgc
fng 2 1 -1 8 lgc ts emt7
neo is the problem, having played ac and kru. Dre-fng can be paired without a forced rematch, which is what the algorithm says to do, and we didn’t get it. Complicated fail
R4 Low
9 lgc 1 2 1 9 fng prds kru
10 loc 1 2 0 3 naiz ins ac

13 naiz 1 2 -4 14 loc bnd qshw
14 prds 1 2 -5 16 ts lgc nice
9-14 and 10-13 are rematches, but the pairwise swap solves it. Instead we got EMT7-PRDS. Pairwise swap fail.
R5:
6 neo 2 2 0 7 ac kru ins fng
7 ac 2 2 0 10 neo qshw loc nva
8 kru 2 2 -2 2 qshw neo lgc dre
9 lgc 2 2 4 9 fng prds kru naiz
10 loc 2 2 3 3 naiz ins ac prds
11 emt7 2 2 2 12 nva nice fng bnd
7-10 and 8-9 are the problem, but instead of pairwise swapping, we got neo-lgc. Really should be a WTFBBQ, but a pairwise fail.

9-14 is the problem, and the simple swap with 10-13 works. Instead they did 9-12, 10-11 , 13-14. Pairwise fail.

This is a mess. 3-8 is illegal, but 3-7 can lead to a legal pairing, so it must be done (3-7, 4-5, 6-8). Instead we got 3-6, 4-8, 5-7. Complicated fail.
EU made no mistakes. Liquipedia looks sketchy enough on MENA that I don’t want to try to figure out who was what seed when.
