Q: Why did Hiarcs have the highest Buchholz?
Mainly because Hiarcs had three points from three rounds & therefore played
opponents who had high scores already.

Then a little luck (good or bad) comes in, as your initial seeding, & the need
for a fair proportion of White & black games affects each rounds opponents.  And
the scores of your previous opponents adds (or doesn't) to your Buchholz.
