Figuring out associations draw system

[Cloverfield]

Has anyone figured out the draw system in associations?

Our last 4 draws have been terrible.
All our teams are competing against 10-40% greater q opponents.

Before these 4 straight bad draws, everythng was normal.

We had a challenging, but we were favorites in first round.
And a competitive final +-5%quality.
Fair enough.

From last season it seems a switch was turned on and even progressing to finals seems impossible.

All above in gold1 division and our teams at the same stars on the overall.

Has something changed?
