Aha, found it! Rule 9.3.2:

All teams will play the same number of qualifying matches except if the number of team appearances (number of teams multiplied by number of rounds) is not divisible by six; in that case the Field Management System will randomly select some teams to play an extra MATCH. For purposes of seeding calculations, those teams will be designated as SURROGATES for the extra MATCH. If teams play a MATCH as a SURROGATE, it will be indicated on the match schedule, and it will always be their third match.
