Are the match selections really that random?
I haven't seen how it is at other regionals, but the St. Louis regionals is definitely stacked. Here's a short list of teams that I can name off the top of my head that's really unnatural.

45 - Faces 148 literally every other match
1646 - Faces 1098 7 in a row out of all 9 matches
461 - matches with 525 3 times out of 9

those were just a few teams I paid attention to. What is up with this?

As Flo said from 461: It didn't seem random at all, and it fair for veteran teams because you'd always be facing another veteran team.
