Team's performance can be highest OPR, weighted average OPR or season world ranking.

Fair does not mean trying to make every match as close in score as possible so that any alliance would have a fair chance of winning. Fair means no teams should have a heavier "load" than other teams. Mathematically, it will mean that the average OPRs of the opposing alliance that each team will have to face will be about the same. In this way, teams that have higher OPRs will still have a higher chance of winning their matches. I like this way because it does not actually look at the predicted score of each match based on OPR and artificially modify it to force the outcome. There is still some inherent randomness to it.
What about years where OPR/metric du jour are not really applicable?
