It depends on the philosophy. If FIRST wants to see the best improvised play possible, with elements of suspense to the players, they should keep it the way it is. If FIRST wants to see the best possible play, with strategies fully explored and thought out, which I believe may be more exciting for the audience, they should announce the pairings at the beginning of the competition.
Personally, I vote for the second.
