Subject: Pairing question about Ikarus

I read 6: Ikarus     3.5 /  6    2b= 13w+  1w=  4b=  3w- 14b+.

So that means that Ikarus although playing the placed 1, 2, 3, 4 progs, it could
get full points against the last and pre-last. Placed om 14 and 13.
Is this ok? Something seems to be wrong or biased. Point is that a game against
14 is a SURE win. That is as if a top program after a loss or two draws got a
point for free. Note Ikarus had 2,5 pts before playing Matador with 0.5 pts.

Could some expert explain why such things are still possible?
