It works like this for all teams, from what I've seen. Unfortuately, logic dictates that it'll continue to be this way.

Taken from an older post of mine...

FIRST wants everyone to have a (more or less) equal amount of time between matches, right? Say you have 45 minutes between your last match and your next match...guess who else has had 45 minutes between those matches? That's right...the teams you just finished playing with / against. The individual alliance pairings might have changed, but the robots are still the same.

If FIRST did move to a more randomized schedule, without as much of a concern for time between matches, people would complain about not having enough time to fix up their robot. It's a lose-lose situation, unfortunately.
I honestly don't think that FIRST has found a better system; if they had, we'd probably be using it by now.
