Were the first round pools set up at random, or by geographical region? Cause if it was by region, then my theory might be way out of whack.
they were by region, though SA was in our pool:

China, taiwan, japan, korea

canada, mexico, south africa, usa

cuba, neth, panama, puerto rico

aus, dominican, italy, venezuela.

all things considered, the pools were pretty even, or as even as they could be.
