I am confused :-)
Your website states that pairings are done in rounds already.
And that's my experience from running programs at CGOS.
It's also the better way (IMHO) to do the scheduling.
After all, the better programs are more important.

About the rating system:
I think Anchorman/ControlBoy are doing a good job, but I would
like to see the K-factor change slower. That should be an easy
modification (and not require a new server).
