It is hard to play someone you've never seen before. However, I don't think this is any worse then the current system in that regard.
You'd play one alliance in which you don't have any information. Before you had your second match, you'd see the other two alliances play, so you'd have information.
As long as the rotation was set a head of time, it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, with the current system, it seems like there is a lot of confusion over who plays who first.

We've done the same thing when we were on Einstein.
