That is the kind of thing that is never done in a serious tournament. You simply
draw the pairing numbers for a round robin. The only restriction that is used in
qualification tournaments is to avoid players of the same country to play in the
last three rounds, but I doubt for computer chess that makes any sense.
If both Chess Tiger and Rebel join and there are so few players that a round
robin is played, then I would avoid them playing in the last three rounds if I
were the tournament director.
