    The article says:

    So is it a draw or are they matching teams up by seed? That is not clear to me.

    If they're ensuring "the most competitive matches" that would have to be a seeding, not an actual draw, right? It's very weirdly worded.

    most competitive matches = matches expected to draw the more public.

    They need to wait for which mexican teams qualify so they can "seed" them in Dallas, Charlotte or Los Angeles
