Figuring out associations draw system

[pcmacdaniel]

Regarding good/bad draws, one thing I am wondering is, what happens when the number of association in a quality range is not divisible by 4. For example, lets say there are 41 associations between 115% and 125% in Gold 3, nordeus can create 10 tournaments of nothing but associations w/ average quality between 115% and 125%. However, what happens to the 1 association that cannot be placed in such a tournament? Do they go against a 6* opponent, 5* opponent, 8* opponent? Could a scenario like this create unbalanced draws, due to the association draw engine not being able to handle an overflow of associations in a given pot.

Worst draw i've seen, was back in Bronze 1 w/ my original association. The draw consisted of one low 7* association, two high 6* associations and one low 5* association. So maybe our pot of potential consisted of a number of teams when divided by 4 = X and 3/4, and we ended up in a potential overflow pot of teams, so a team from another quality range which had an overflow was added to our pot, so one association was 35% weaker than everybody else.
