When you have 9 rounds, and 14 players, it is _not_ a Swiss by any measure. It is nearly a round robin, in fact. I don't think pairings matter at all now, other than that the top programs should play each other one time. Mistakes in the pairings will work themselves out. It will screw up a color here and there, but eventually all the top programs have to play.
