You >can't play the same number of whites and blacks!! With an even number you might end up playing 5 blacks and 3 whites. For the TD thas has to prepare the pairings, even numbers are hell. With odd numbers you try as much as you can to leave things fair in the before last round. The few that you could not fix, will be fix in the last round.
