I never heard about any swiss pairing software that would pair
this without special rules applying.
Participants -1 rounds will hurt all known swiss rules for the
last rounds, if the software allows this number of rounds it
should perhaps warn the user and offer to break the usual rules,
for the last rounds...
This will not do any better than a simple round robin.
