The algorithm is the same for all events, but when there are so few teams and so many matches at districts, the likelihood is simply that you end up playing with/against the same teams more often than a traditional regional. The FTAs at each event review the schedules after generating them, and review the number of times each teams is paired with/against teams and maximize the number of opponents and partners, per the rules quoted previously.
