Teams also make requests, it's the clubs that request what level of play. Maybe some clubs know certain weekends they will be missing players and request a weaker bracket? It happens more than you think. And then there is travel, some of the ones with flights to catch will ask to play earlier.
Tourney directors have been doing this long enough to know which clubs are strong. AND they want their clubs to do well.
Yes, like Steps White (ended last year ranked 11) and is in one of the bottom brackets against teams in the low 40's and 50's.
