What pairing program do use?

Your pairing is certainly not according to the FIDE-rules.

Yace and Crafty had the same colour history:
WBWBW

The FIDE rules state:

"12.4 If both players in a pairing had the same colour in the previous round,
then the colours they had in earlier rounds, going back in sequence, shall
decide who is given the alternate colour. If players in the median score-group
or above had identical histories, then the higher ranked is given the alternate
colour, or, in even-numbered rounds, the equalising colour. If the players below
the median score-group had identical histories, then the lower ranked player is
given the alternate colour, or, in even numbered rounds, the equalising colour."

The players are above median score-group.
Crafty is higher ranked and should get the equalising colour (Black).
Am I missing something?
