The draw is a stratified random sampling, where seeds are systematically placed to avoid early collisions, while qualifiers and wildcards are randomly allocated like noise in the model. But as a statistician, I must disagree that this "fair" structure dictates outcomes; the human variables of nerve and moment are coefficients I can never fully isolate. My own tuning battles with the sitar before a performance teach me that the planned scale matters less than the single note played when the recorder is on.
