Joe Ross identified the problem, and found that the easiest solution would be to randomize the order of the team list before inserting it into the match scheduling algorithm.

yeah, but that doesnt adress the problem. What happens is that you are essentially paired with the same group of teams. if the data isnt randomized before the algorithm is run, then something like this chart would happen. you would still notice a pattern in the sequence if it were randomized before sorting.

I dont think there is any viable algorithm to fairly balance all the teams with adequate spacing... there are just too many constraints
