The match schedule was changed because the minimum match spacing was not set correctly in the software, and therefore some teams were complaining that the schedule was not random enough (the spacing was set to "auto", which means it's derived from the number of teams at the event and since there were 66 teams it was far too high).

However, the new schedule was in fact distributed to teams Thursday afternoon, only an hour or two after the first one. Pit administration did make a number of announcements to make sure teams were aware of the change.
