The rest of our match ups were fairly low occurrence ( 1 with/against or 0 with/against). I even buy the 1 to 2 relationships since it's a small event. The thing I thought was weird was the times we had including 1024 and 1501. That's a lot of times we are both on the field.

More than anything, that's the result of playing 12 matches per team at a 31 team event. A new "round" starts every six matches, leaving little flexibility when intermixing teams while still maintaining minimum gaps between each teams' matches. As a result, you're going to get even more overlap than usual.
