25% chance.
1114 has a 1.00 chance of being on the same field as 1114. 2056 has a 0.25 chance of being assigned to each field. Since one of the 4 has 1114, the total chance is 1.00*0.25= 0.25
If you want to pick a particular field, then it is another 1 in 4 chance, so total is one in 16.
Back in Atlanta, I think they used to pick the two 'strongest' divisions to be on the side facing the VIP areas in the arena. That was Galileo and Archimedes, IIRC. I think this is one reason behind the curie curse.
