Michael- The "draw" in boxing is random. I think, but haven't checked, that
heats etc in many sports are also not ranked.

Boxing is a good example of match design based on age range and other
factors.Heavy weight.middle weight and so on are within specific
parameters.But the Chinese seem to have flaunted the criteria.Not too many
shorties in U.S basketball.
Michael Phelps was aided by his physiognomic advantage.
Btw,is there any data on height and academic selection?.Is the taller
app;icant more likely to be hired as a psych prof?
