One comment added:
In swiss tournaments, proper pairing for the first
round is the more important the larger the number
of players relative to the number of rounds.
Suppose there are ten players, numbered from 1 to 10 in order of
strength. Is the "proper" round-one pairing
1 v 6, 2 v 7, 3 v 8, 4 v 9, 5 v 10
or
1 v 10, 2 v 9, 3 v 8, 4 v 7, 5 v 6?
I ask only out of curiosity, and in case I some day do the draw for a
non-KGS Swiss tournament. For KGS tournaments, it is irrelevant, as I
have no control over the KGS scheduler, which I think does the
first-round draw at random.

(Typical case: number of rounds = c * log(number of players),
where c is a constant larger than 1, and log is meant for base 2.)
In the KGS tournament, there were 12 rounds for
12 participants, so pairing for round 1 was not
really crucial.

In swiss tournaments or knockout tournaments it's important to rank the
players to the best of your ability before doing the pairings. ...
