IE they are ranked in order of apparent strength, from high to low. The list is broken into two parts, with the top half of the seeds in part A, and the bottom half of the seeds on part B. Then entry 1 in part A plays entry 1 in part B, and from then on, normal Swiss Pairings are used. Occasionally the TD will 'lose it' and go to the silly 'accelerated pairing' approach where you pair round one by pretending that round 1 has already been played and the top half beat the bottom half 100%. This is normal when you have a large number of entries and fewer than log2(entries) of rounds. In the WCCC / WMCCC events it is stupid to do this. But that doesn't prevent it from being done...
